8Pack super fast smash the rest i5 Skylake Overclocked, Discounted killer GAMING bundle.

I will try this out Monday see if I can replicate. I have two or three boards and several CPU. Maybe pch voltage or DMI will help. Let me test and report back.
 
^ save your OC profile to usb drive.

Flash BIOS to any official from Asus site. Check the ports. If not working then at defaults u can either RMA or if port's not needed run with other 4 ports.

If the ports are working report back and I explore further. Difficult if I can't replicate the issue.

Do devices attached show in BIOS? Are all the ports controllers enabled in BIOS.
 
Some performance benches running Sleeping Dogs and Bioshock Infinite maxed out 1080P on 980 Ti. I chose 980 Ti to shift the bottleneck away from the GPu and back to the CPU and system.





No problem to play these games at serious FPS. 112 and 132 FPS avg respectively!!
 
No reason why it has to run 2T. I was testing OC stability for CPU in the main so did not try memory timings. Remember the idea of this bundle is to keep it simple. 1T I am almost certain will be fine too and give a small boost to perf.
 
Ok so 4x4gb is working fine.

Go into bios and default so F7 for advanced then F5 enter. F10 plus enter to restart.

Now back into bios set XMP and the following only.




Go into windows and test stability to check mem is fine.

Keep the settings you already made and set up the rest of the bios like this.




F10 plus enter to save and reboot. Again test in Windows. Obviously each CPU will need different Vcore to reach 4400mhz. This one 1.35v or so. Upto 1.425v may be needed so test this.

Here is one hour real bench testing of these settings for stability:

Just test XMP as I said with CPU at stock first. You may have a faulty stick yes. But it could also be some element of the OC.
 
The MB could have an issue yes. Also some voltages may need tweaking to gain stability. PCH, VCCIO, VCCSA, DMI may all help in this case.
 
Is the board warping in some way? sounds like bad contact.

Also when you say stock so you mean mems runnning 2133mhz not XMP?
