I've been running 32 GB Corsair Dominator 5600 C36 for a month without issues. Both default 4800 and XMP 5600 work fine. I tried a Corsair Dominator 6200 C36 and it ran fine at 4800 but was unstable with XMP at 6200. Tonight I'm trying the new Gskill 6400 C32 kit. At the default (non XMP) mode the system will only post in safe most and the RAM speed gets set to 4000 MHz. When I enable XMP 6400 on the Gskill kit the system will post without issue, but memtest shows errors. What's the deal with DDR 5 stability? Is there an issue with my motherboard? Why would it post fine with XMP, but not at default settings on the Gskill kit?
Is it necessary to clear CMOS when switching memory kits? If so, why?

Update:
I went back to BIOS 0811, as it seemed 1101 was causing the issues with my new Gskill 6400 C32 kit. With 1101, it would only run at 4000 MHz (non XMP). I'm also now able to run XMP 1 at 6200 C32, but 6400 is unstable. What should I try changing first? Would the XMP 2 profile be better? (yea I'm a noob with RAM overclocking).
