Random freezes, reboots and sleep not working after adding Graphic card

2133 Mhz instead of 2666Mhz with XMP profile 1

Okay, use this value and perform the required tests and report it back.

So the Hack booted straight to desktop without restarting this morning, so that's good.
What is annoying is that RAM only runs at 2133Mhz and not 2666Mhz.

I bought the following ram and the motherboard advertises that RAM should run at 2666Mhz without overclocking


Can I look at the value set when enabling XMP without actually using XMP but adding them manually so that RAM runs at advertised speed?

So, that actually means the fix I posted works for your case too?

Well, that was the wrong decision you made. Probably, you should cancel the order. The thing is the DDR 4 memory works at 2133MHz which is stock speed without XMP and let's suppose you have 2 memory modules. One of them is rated at 2133MHz and the other one is 3200MHz. Without XMP, both the modules will operate at 2133MHz and with XMP enabled, it will perform at 3200MHz, at its rated frequency.

You'll still need to enable XMP and if you enable that you're going to have crashes again. It was really worse with AMD Radeon VII. I have still not got time to tune it, where XMP can be used without any interference. But for now, this is the only workaround.

How about if you close the ads, without refreshing? The site is still having issues which we're aware of, just need to have some dedicated time. Already, dealing with a lot of shit.

Long time no posting, here is an update. With XMP disabled all went well for a couple of days but then it started rebooting again on cold boot. After that, I disconnected the PSU for 30 minutes to drain battery and did a new config plist from scratch. Monterey has not rebooted since then so a couple of weeks now with XMP enabled

No worries about the adds, it was difficult to close them but it seems better now

Sounds promising!

Soon, it will be upgraded and things will be fixed eventually.
