Xaltar, thanks for the reply. I'm probably overthinking this. Thanks for the confirmation of disabling XMP.]]> Tue, 14 Dec 2021 00:43:46 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19940&PID=91284&title=b550-phantom-gaming-4-memory-upgrade#91284 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19940&PID=91282&title=b550-phantom-gaming-4-memory-upgrade#91282 Author: Xaltar

Disable XMP or reset to defaults in your UEFI to prevent issues with your first
POST after installing the new kit. Either should work fine.

Guys,

I've been running a B550 Phantom Gaming 4 board and Ryzen 5 3600 since late Winter 2021. System has performed flawlessly. Current memory set up is a Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 16GB kit (2x8GB) in slots A2 and B2. I set up XMP profile to run at 3200, and system has been totally stable.

I decided to up the memory with an additional 16GB kit (same as above), but then read of memory slow downs when you populate all four memory slots. So, I picked up a GSkill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 32GB kit (2x16GB). I'm not worried about getting rid of the two Crucial kits, as I'll post them for a good price on Craigslist.

My main question is this - prior to swapping out the Crucial sticks for the GSkill sticks, should I disable the XMP profile? Any other suggestions I should follow?

TIA,

Jeff]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2021 10:17:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19940&PID=91279&title=b550-phantom-gaming-4-memory-upgrade#91279
