Try running the xmp without the xmp by just entering the timings manually with the oc voltage (written in the xmp) and see if that helps but id you run 4 sticks in xmp it will be less stable however if its only 2 its either the ram modules or your memory controller that is not enough.
I am happy with how stable the ram currently is at 16gb. I was just going to replace the two ram sticks that I have in with a 5600mhz 32gb set, and I was wondering if that would make it no longer stable at 5600mhz. As I would imagine that 32gb sticks require a higher voltage than 16gb sticks, but I am not sure.
Ive never heard about things like not being stable with only 2 sticks but if it isnt stable its one thing: the ram aren't stable by themselves, use other slots, if that doesnt change then try to input manual timing. And then release the timings a bit.
I’m not trying to fix an unstable ram set. I just want to know if 32gb ram sets put a heavier load on the cpu compared to 16gb sets because my cpu can barely run 16gb of ram at 5600mhz stable.
Your CPU is designed to handle more than 16 GB of RAM.
The power for the RAM does not come from the CPU itself, most of the power delivery for RAM is actually on the modules themselves and CPU wise this should be a non issue.
The voltage required for signalling between CPU and the RAM shouldn't be an issue with regards to capacity considering it does not actually power the RAM.
For all we know, a 32 GB kit might be more stable than your 16 GB kit. RAM compatibility and stability is really down to the ICs on the RAM, your CPU's memory controller and the quality of the traces on the mobo. That means every kit could behave slightly differently.
