XMP profile causing washed out colors and motion blur.
I`ve noticed that when i use XMP on my ram it modifies the DRAM voltage from 1.2 to 1.35, when that happens my monitor colors change and become washed out and i get increased motion blur when playing.
I was using it like this since i built the pc and thought that the monitor was the problem, but recently i wanted to tweak the ram settings and when i used a lower DRAM voltage i immediately noticed the difference, colors had more vibrance and the image was crisper.

i did an A/B test multiple times just to confirm, and its not placebo.

Why didn't you post any proof like before and after?Bobo wrote: ↑06 Dec 2020, 00:02I`ve noticed that when i use XMP on my ram it modifies the DRAM voltage from 1.2 to 1.35, when that happens my monitor colors change and become washed out and i get increased motion blur when playing.

Re: XMP profile causing washed out colors and motion blur.
The only components controlling how much motion blur you get are the voltage applied to the pixels and room temperature, there is no way that xmp causes motion blur.

Re: XMP profile causing washed out colors and motion blur.
Bobo isn't wrong, I have the same problem with mine and there's no way its not washing out the monitor colors. I get half as much color when the profile is on. I don't have motion blur problems but this has been a reocurring problem for me for a while now. Replugging the monitor seems to help a bit but other than that you have to calibrate display color in windows using HDR calibration tool if using HDR or calibrate display color which is built into windows by default. HDR calibration comes from microsoft store. I know this thread is 5 years old now but if your still having this problem or anybody else this is the only things I know that have helped. I've also read a windows update has caused this issue for people and might have more to do with windows 11 than the bios settings but they seem to trigger it for me. I can even turn XMP off and the colors return to normal. So weird.

can u test it with non xmp, but use xmp voltage?drewcifer wrote: ↑20 Feb 2025, 18:51Bobo isn't wrong, I have the same problem with mine and there's no way its not washing out the monitor colors.

also remember that the xmp profile changes the SA voltage

Re: XMP profile causing washed out colors and motion blur.
Can you show it on video? Without any cuts just show your screen with and without xmp profile so we can see the colors changedrewcifer wrote: ↑20 Feb 2025, 18:51Bobo isn't wrong, I have the same problem with mine and there's no way its not washing out the monitor colors.
