MAXIMUS VIII GENE XMP Issues
Hey All,
This is my first post on this forum so try not to be too critical. I am having issues setting Intel XMP with this MB. I have done this quite extensively in the past and never had any issues getting these values to set. I have certified ram modules (CMK32GX4M4A2666C16R) and they all past Memtest 86+ so I do not believe it is the memory causing issues. BIOS version 1402 allowed me to set XMP and then manually change the voltage to 1.35V (which is high) to successfully post. Upon flashing BIOS 1504 I cannot post with XMP at all. This is not right, because I should not have to change voltages or anything for XMP to work. I have called ASUS on the issue, but they say that XMP = overclocking and is "unsupported." If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

Instead of using XMP, setup your RAM timings and voltage manually. See if that works.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have manually set the timings and it seems to have posted. I attached a picture of my screen from CPU-Z and I'm hoping you can let me know if that looks accurate. As for the XMP values, I suppose that I'll just have to wait until ASUS issues a new BIOS that fixes this given issue...

Hello fosser2
There's nothing wrong with setting your ram manually vs using XMP and your ram is running at its rated specs, it looks good to me and I'd go with that.
