XMP Crashes 2 Games but Passes Stress Test

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. If I enable xmp (ram is rated 3000mghz kingston hyper-x). Both The Division * Hitman (2016) will crash after a few minutes. Hower passes both superpi & memtest. This occurs even at milder overclocks such as 2600 or 2800. the only stable is 2400.
CPU is auto clocked @44.
It's ok at default cpu clock. Just don't understand how it can pass realbench, super, & memtest for 12hrs+ but can't manage a game

Those are the only 2 I have come across so far
Any thoughts/help anyone? TIA

Not all cpu can overclock the ram and a stress test doesnt always tell how it will do in the real world. Have you tried setting the ram voltages and timings manually and not using xmp?

I have tried, doesn't seem to work.As mentioned what is strange is that it is in only 2 games all others are fine such as GTAV Tomb Raider, XCOM2 etc

1. As Drop says, the stress test is a good start, but the only way I know a system is really stable is after a few weeks of intense usage in linux.

2. RealBench is not useful in my opinion for proving GPU overclock stability. I've had ludicrous GPU overclocks pass its openCL, RealBench stress and benchmark and fail immediately in BF4.

3. As far as I can tell from 4970k, 5930k, 5960x and 6700k hands-on, the hardest part of OC stability these days is getting adaptive + speedstep not to trip on itself. A fixed manual voltage is the first order OC. Then getting the CPU/OS to really make full use of the chips functionality requires a second order of tuning and stability testing.
