Hey there. I can't get this ram to run at 3200mhz, or actually anything above 2133, using XMP profiles. I've gone into the BIOS and tried to set it to 3200mhz through XMP profile, but it still shows in the bios as running at 2133, and 1066 in CPU-Z. I've also tried the RAM in all four slots.

I was able to go under the deeper overclocking settings and set the main speed and all of the timings manually, not that I really understand it: I only set down to tras, the rest were set automatically after a reboot. Both CPU-Z and the bios then showed that it's running at the correct speed, although CPU-Z was showing crazy latency timings, and ultimately the system was unstable (BSODs), so I had to take it back to stock.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

try 1.4v on dram voltage.

Try setting the timings in the overclocking section of the bios, "advanced dram configuration" make sure gear down mode GDM is on.

Any reason you got 1x 16gb over 2x 8gb? As 16gb dimms are slightly harder to get stable and using only 1 in single Channel is hurting your performance.
