Hello all,
I recently purchased the Predator Orion 5000 PO5-640 gaming system and I decided to upgrade the ram with 2 16GB x2 Corsair Vengeance 5200MHz modules and was told by a Geek Squad rep to enable XMP. I enabled XMP and the frequency went from 4400 MHz to 5200MHz. System booted up like normal with no issues. Loaded up Modern Warfare and the game played perfectly fine. After seeing Modern Warfare consuming almost 50% of my 32GB of memory, I decided to add 2 more sticks of 16GB x2 making it 64GB total. Left XMP enabled, system booted up just fine but then after getting in game on MW, the game itself started freezing up and crashing. Went back into my bios to check and see if I missed something when I added the other 2 modules and there is no settings anywhere to be found to tweek the timings, frequencies, voltages, etc.
I then reinstalled MW and the game seemed to play ok with no freeze ups. The next day I jumped on and loaded into the game, it started crashing again. Im clueless as to what is going on with the game crashing but my system runs fine otherwise.
My question to the community... is this motherboard not designed to run maxed memory with high frequency modules? Is it better to remove the other 2 modules and just run 32GB of ram with the XMP enabled so I can get higher frequency speeds since the game ran stable with 32GB or just trash the motherboard all together and get a board that I can have the freedom of being able to tweek the CPU and RAM settings rather than dealing with a locked MB and CPU? Your thoughts? Thanks guys!!
