XMP seems to not work.

[WASHED CORSA PEEK]

Hey,
I tried to change some stuff, like overclocking my graphics card since my pc is kinda slowing down.
I Ran a benchmark, and the benchmark tells me that "XMP" for the ram is not enables, even tho i enabled it, is it becuase either my ram is to slow? or to fast?

(Specs are included in that benchmark)

Link doesn't work

Enter your Bios and make sure XMP is enabled. If it isn't, enable it and make sure you 'SAVE' and exit not quit without saving.

Can also check in windows using CPU-Z

Its already enabled by default, but im going to check with cpu z real quick

also this is the bench https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/12051427

Your RAM is currently running at 2400Mhz. This means that the XMP is enabled as otherwise it would run at 2133Mhz. (CPU-Z speed 1066-1067Mhz)

Okey, then just the ram is abit slow i guess (for the benchmark)
Thought XMP was only enabled on the ramslot A1 And A2.. because my ram is in B1 and B2 since A1 & 2 is broken for some odd reason.

It seems it has other issues as well considering the performance of your RAM and your videocard.

Yeah, i dont really know whats up with that, have the latest drivers eveything not even overclocked.. and i dont know what could cause that performance impact

well you also seem to be running in single channel mode

if you have 2 8 gig sticks enable dual channel mode in your system bios and check what slots your ram is installed to

you need one stick in channel A one stick in channel B ..if you can not use channel A replace your motherboard ..it's still likely under warranty if you bought a decent one .. my asus board came with a 3 yr warranty

if your ram slots are fried ..then yes you need to replace that motherboard as it already has faults in it

You shouldn't have RAM in B1 and B2 (or A1 or A2), you should have the RAM in
DIMM 2 on channel A and DIMM 4 on channel B as per the manual page 11.

So slot 2 and 4 counted from the CPU socket.

That will speed up your RAM and hopefully that's the only reason your graphics card scored worse than 93% of the other GTX 1060 6 GB, it could also be heat or a stock clocked card or whatever too since so many cards have a factory overclock.

When you move the RAM turn off the power supply on the backside or pull out the cable from the computer too. Possibly also do an attempt so to say to turn it on with that unplugged before moving them. Just to make sure there's not power onto the motherboard which maybe there aren't in the DIMM slots when the machine is just turned on by the power button anyway but just to make sure.

(as in turn the PSU off, move what you maybe call B1 to A2 (dimm 3 to dimm 2) and then turn the PSU on again and then start the computer.)

Yeah, the problem is the A1 and 2 slot is broken, and my motherboard is not under warrenty anymore

I personally prefer a cheap $30-40 replacement over a motherboard with known broken parts. Finding out your motherboard is writing corrupted data to the HDD 6 months after the fact is one of the less fun things to experience.

I've also been in the situation where $30 already is a lot of money requiring unpleasant choices to free it up, so I don't fault you for making the most of it.

Either way, you really shouldn't be looking to push it for performance. It may break rather than bend.

Check your mobo for an xmp switch. My new asus z97-a has an ezxmp switch on mobo you have to turn on to enable xmp in bios.

I had to set my speeds manually. Basically the readout from CPU-Z is going to read half of the advertised speed of how the module is rated by name and type.

In other words, if you have DDR4-2400 RAM it will read the clock speed as 1,200MHz.

As long as you’re dialed in properly, the type of RAM displayed by the system doesn’t matter. If you’re using unregistered, unbuffered RAM modules, it usually reads the type as the lowest compatible module for the motherboard. In my case it shows as DDR4-2133 in spite of it actually being DDR4-2400.

I did that already, but as i already said, my a1 & a2 ramslots are broken.

you could always overclock the ram to the specs although youll still be running in single channel
