I think im fine with this don't want more problems :D

You can try, just for the fun of it.
I understand you had a share of issues to the point you wanted "just to work" in any possible way... I know tthe feeling!
Well keep it as is for a while, enjoy it, make sure its stable and then you can tweak it. A lot here will be glad to help. Its a learning process that will get you to understand better your system.

Looking good just finished a 2h destiny session working fine! When i was setting the voltages i noticed the docp had a setting that allowed the timings to be changed. The first option was cl16 16-18-18-36 and the second one was cl15? 15-17-17 i probably should use the 16 one since the ram is "designed" for those timings?

Something to consider is that many kits come with dual profiles for XMP/DOCP. It is also highly likely that the second profile at CAS15 also comes with slower RAM speed (Done for compatibility when the main profile will not run without fiddling). Take a picture of what you are seeing in BIOS please.

I way I understood that was the timings in use at the time were 15-17-17-17 up until the recent post today.
 
" i noticed the docp had a setting that allowed the timings to be changed."

That part is what I was addressing @biffzinker
If he has two options in DOCP, its due to multiple profiles.
 
I'd start off by updating BIOS, there are still such RAM tidbits on Matisse setups. You could set the timings yourself as well, and compare at least the first couple basic subtimings with what you get over XMP. Then go from there about tweaking RAM related stuff such as voltage and maybe a bit of speed. Pretty sure it would be reliable afterwards if you can't get XMP right.
 
Manually set your rams voltage in bios, in mine the set DRAM voltage and the actual are different, if they are in yours compensate to get the actual as close as you can without going over to the rams voltage printed on the sticker, in my experience xmp profiles often need the manual setting of ram voltage to work correctly. Mine is 1.45v, the VREF should be half the DRAM voltage.

Well the voltages of my ram is labeled at 1.35v and right now its set to 1.38. How can i check that the voltage is actually 1.38 or even 1.35? or should i just pump it up to 1.45?
 
BIOS and various software. On my MSI board, 1.38 gives about 1.35 with vdroop anyway. Don't just pump it to 1.45 for no reason.

HWiNFO sensors mode.
Look for DDR, DRAM or something equivalent voltage.

Hello again! i have not posted here for a while... Well that is because i got the pc working. Since my retailer refused rma i was looking for any kind of fix. Well one finally did it! The fix was to switch the 16x pcie slot to gen 3 instead of auto. This has fixed the problem and i have played for 2 weeks without issues. I don't know why the pc works in single channel since the pcie slot really has nothing to do with it... i think.
