MSI OC Genie

Ok it did not like having XMP enabled at all! It wouldn't post and just kept rebooting (like when I enable OC Genie). I had to turn it off via the PSU and reset the CMOS.
Based on you CPU-Z readings one of the sticks doesn't have an XMP profile so that's probably why it doesn't like it.
Whichever way you cut it you seem to have 2 mismatched sticks.
Nothing, other than overclock the stick of 10666 (if it is 10666) - or it will ensure you have the correct settings for your memory (if the stick is 12800).
Worst that can happen is that it will fail to post - i.e. your reboots...
But it's looking increasingly like you have 2 odd sticks.
Your two sticks of ram are not the same. I know I am stating the obvious but that is the reason for your problem The one has a XMP profile and the other does not. So when you enable the Profile 1 in bios the sticks go into a state of choas. One is set to the pre-programmed profile and the other is profile less. Result FAIL. Please contact OCUK to arrange a RMA. There is no way that you should have two different SPD (ram bios) on a matched set of ram.
I think I'll leave the manual setting then, I'll make a thread in the OcUK CS forum and see what they say! Thanks for the help guys.
No worries - it's a rare event to have 2 mis-matched sticks but this thread will be all the evidence you need for an rma (replacement or refund).
Well the new memory arrived today, both sticks have XMP profiles and the same part number and the system POSTs when I enable XMP & OC Genie!
With OC Genue, its currently running at 4.2GHz/1.36-1.38V, are those voltages ok? I've never done overclocking before but they seem quite high?
