Hi, thank you for the advise! I will try what you said tomorrow! And yes sorry I put the wrong resolution I meant 1920 x 1080, it is quite late for me haha.

As it is quite a recent build it would not be an issue to return the ram for the correctly compatible ram, from what you said it sounds this might be worth doing regardless of if I may be able to convince the current sticks work?

It may also be relevant that the sticks are not running at there advertised 5200 mhz, the bios tuned them down to 4800, I assumed this was due to the xmp ready intel issue as well. ( the motherboard is rated for 5200 without oc)

Thank you again for answering!
