Holy smokes! I never considered XMP may be an issue. Back in December, I also had an issue with RAM where they could not be run reliably at their advertised speed. I ended up doing a warranty replacement and since getting the replacement RAM, I've been running them 200MHz lower than advertised speed.
2666 is the advertised speed but for what ever reason with XMP It crashes! With it off it has not crashed in 12 days that is 10 days longer then the average crash and 5 days longer then the time I got with XMP off but not clocked right. It runs at the advertised speed but I manually set the clock speed in the bios, and all seems to be well. I had two sets of the same memory bought 6 months apart and they all crashed so I am not sure it is bad Ram as two of them are in this Hack and two of them are in windows machine and runs fine now.
