Using XMP Memory, XMP Configuration Is Not Available in the BIOS

I have XMP memory from Kingston, but the option to load XMP profiles is not in the BIOS. I only see Auto, Manual, and D.O.C.P. Shouldn't it be there? I've seen it in a beginner's memory timing guide. My hardware is listed in the signature.

The X.M.P. profile is only supported on the Intel platforms. That's why the guide also explain how to manually configure the RAM in case you're on an AMD system.

Sorry, I must have overlooked that part. 😞 /me smacks himself in the face with an overheated video card.

What about all those secondary timings and the other settings all configured to automatic? Do those need to be changed, too, if I change the first four timing settings?

D.O.C.P. is the CVF equivalent of X.M.P. Try it out and see if it's stable when you use it due to it not being XMP it's not perfect.
Otherwise as Chino said configure the ram manually.

Well, it seems that even using XMP or D.O.C.P., it's technically overclocking. My memory has a standard JEDEC speed of 1333 MHz, which is what I want to run it at, at least until I make sure it's stable for long periods of time. My system still spontaneously reboots eventually, no matter what speed and timing I use. I'm trying this again with all automatic settings, except I've enabled the setting that optimizes for 4GB DIMMs to see if that helps. That increases the numbers on the timing a little, which is fine if it brings about an end to the reboots.

Oh, I also disabled turbo mode. Monitoring the CPU clock speed in Windows, I noticed the CPU clock speed got "stuck" at 3.8 GHz, even when the system was idle with nothing more running than a virus scanner, firewall, and HWInfo32, and whatever other background programs were running. At any rate, CPU usage was below 1%. No need for turbo in that condition. I didn't think that was normal, so I disabled Turbo.

I haven't called Asus yet. If it reboots one more time, I'm going to call Asus and talk to them about it.
