Hi,

Running a 6700k on an MSI Krait Z170 Gaming Motherboard. Bought the Team Group Vulcan 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Quad Channel ram. I know Z170 isnt quad channel but was advised that they will run as 2x dual channel.

They work and everything loads perfect. The issue is, i cant get them to run at any faster than 2133mhz, despite them saying they are 3000mhz ram. When i choose XMP in the bios , they say they have been changed to 3000mhz but then the computer will not boot at all.

Any ideas on how to rectify this?

It happened to me too but on an Asus Maximus VIII Gene. Try to upgrade to the newest bios for the motherboard. It could help.
Otherwise you need to set things manually. Just follow the XMP settings and set the cas latency, the DDR4 voltage and the RAM speed manual, it will work.
 
Hi,

Ive installed the latest bios and now boots when i click XMP @3000mhz. Only problem is now , the PC wont shut down. When i click shutdown , it does , then 2 seconds later, tries to boot, shuts down and then boots normal.

Put the ram back to 2133mhz and the problem disappears?

Right,

Ive got it to 2600mhz by choosing that in the bios. Ive left the timings to auto and set the ram voltage to 1.35v. Boots fine and shuts down fine. Wont have any speeds above that and be problem free. Dont know much about timings

Quad channel kits are desig ned for X99 platform and as such XMP is programmed with this in mind.

When you run on Z170 Skylake has a superior IMC and those often trie sto train lower timings too tight so the system cant boot. Its that simple really. With Skylake yoru better with a kit designbed for that platform.

Have u trioed reset bios. Just set mems to 3000mhz and voltage on mems to 1.4 and save and exit.

Will I gain much by going to the 3000mhz anyway?
