Aurora R15, Kingston Fury Beast 64GB (2 of 32GB) DDR5 5,600MHz Not Compatible Issue
The Dell lists the Aurora R15 support with the Kingston 64 GB (2 of 32GB) DDR5 5,600MHz memory RAM with XMP, but after I installed them I could only run the base function of 4,800 MHz. I couldn't turn on the XMP function to boost them up to 5,600 MHz either in BIOS or AWCC. I also see others could run their memory RAM up to 7,000 MHz, although perhaps they are not using the 64 GB memory RAM, somehow they manage to get them to work.
The Dell reference for Aurora R15 is below:
Here are the links that others managed to work:
Does anyone know how to get them to work with XMP and help? Thanks ahead.

OK, I finally got it. Flash the BIOS to the 1.0.5 version, the XMP option still remains gray and unrecognizable for the RAM, but they can enabled in AWCC. Perfect and I'm satisfied.
Special thanks to @aryuss since his post helped a lot.

Try clearing CMOS by disconnecting power, removing the CR2032 coin cell battery, hold in the power button for 30 seconds, then put her back together and see if the RAM will work,

Is this OEM RAM directly from Dell, or purchased directly from Kingston?
The OEM has the exact same name, but to my understanding not the same SPD information.

I’ve contacted Kingston. The memory they make for Dell does NOT have the same timings as what they make available for public purchase. Dell memory is PROPRIETARY. It will NOT work long term without issues. It ain’t made to. Even IF you’re able to “fool” the system into recognizing the memory at 5200 or even 5600 speeds, it will eventually BSOD and throw video card or processor memory faults when it’s simply the RAM not being compatible to Dell’s proprietary Bios/motherboard.
For those who have fooled their systems as I have, and as is mentioned in this thread, I’d challenge you to run the support assist tests while the memory is overclocked, and IF it doesn’t BSOD you, you’ll get Video Card warnings or errors. I sent my machine to depot two weeks ago, had the VC and processor replaced due to VC warnings…and their own “techs” didn’t realize it was the ram causing issues…issues I STILL have right after they swapped both! It was KINGSTON that alerted me to this problem for Dell!
Now, it’s not my intent to debate this, go back and forth, discourage anyone to not do it, or whatever. I’m just as salty as everyone else for dumping 3500 into a desktop when I would have been better suited spending the same amount for an actual upgradable machine that hasn’t the limits Alienware has. I regret this purchase, I should have spent the money on prebuilt gaming machines that use name brand, non-proprietary parts instead of a huge company that has name brand companies build proprietary parts for Dell they can upcharge, later.
Dont believe me? Compare Kingston 64GB Fury 5600 on Dell to the Kingston website. The kit with Kingston is cheaper than a single stick with Dell. And per Kingston, it’s built FOR DELL. FOR ALIENWARE. Kingston still has the same QC for all their stuff. This is company money making tactics. Annoying.
