I can’t run my ram at advertised speeds without instability, I’m running 4 sticks of DDR5 with default xmp profile and getting BSODS. Is there any workaround?

    I have 2 matching sets of 2 sticks, and they will run at their advertised speeds, but only because they are DDR5 5600. At 6000, they are unstable, and lots of DDR5 kits or sticks are unstable right now with 4 sticks and high speeds. this is growing pains. not that long ago, getting 4 sticks of DDR4 3800 to run stable was impossible, and now you can do it with a button press.

      There is no such thing as 2 matching sets of 2 sticks, they were not QA’d to run together and are not guaranteed to run at advertised speeds when you mix 2 different kits even if they are packaged as the same SKU/timings.

      It is not “growing” pains, this is literally what ram manufacturer’s will tell you and is how it is been since before xmp profiles were even a thing in the DDR3 days.
