The whole point of XMP is that it overvolts the RAM, which in turn increases the voltage the on-CPU memory controller runs at. That's why the XMP timings are faster than the stock timings. So it's probably kind of Intel's fault, since XMP is their invention.

Ok - order is restored then, as it is pretty much advertised as "these are settings that will run your ram optimally".
