Probably know the answer, but hope someone knows a trick to get these working got a lexar ares 6400 32gb kit. Works about 95% of the time but randomly will just hang on boot and after clear cmos will work again at 6400, any ideas or just have to run at slower speeds.

What ED said, you need to give us specs of your system and update the BIOS.

If it’s AMD, try 6000 MT/s (it’s not mhz since it’s double data rate) and manually set the voltage.

It's also unstable at 6000 mt but works fine 6400 mt with one module, stick the pair in and it just goes back to being same.

Try manually set the voltages.

You’ll need to do some research on the specific voltages and settings to use.

Oh and Your ram is in the correct slots? 2 and 4?

Set the RAM to 5600 with both sticks and see if that’s stable
 
So after many different configurations I can't get the system stable other than at base 4800m/t. Not sure what is the limiting factor cpu, memory or motherboard. Have tried 3 different memory kits 5200, 6000 and 6400.

same here, on 6000mz ram, so you are not alone
i'm on most recent bios etc etc, tried messing with voltages but it's not like it used to be, so many voltage options, not just one main voltage to set
I've given up, so if you find anything out i'll be well chuffed,
I've asked here before, but nobody knows, it's just
" are you on the latest bios"
" have you put them in the correct slots"
" set voltages
like we are brainless, or overclocking messiahs
then somebody pops in and says
" well mine works fine"
well good for you, if only you knew why it works fine!

the closest I got to an answer is that it's DDR so double the seen frequency, or that there is another way of listing a ram's speed, which I can't remember now, but it's false advertising basically, using how much data, the ram can shift, not it's actual speed
good luck!
