Upon booting my system earlier i was met with an overclocking failed message, put everything back to default in bios which allows the system to boot and enter os fine. However, when trying again to set the ram to its XMP profile, upon rebooting after saving in bios i get the same message. Ram is a 16gb quad channel gskill ripjaw 4, c15-15-15-35 1.35v kit. Heard a few rumours when i first went X99 that some non oc socket boards had issues with ram running faster than 2666mhz, i did have a few at first but updating to a newer bios sorted theese and the kit has up until now ran fine at 3000mhz. Just had a look too on the msi website where this memory kit at 3000mhz is stated as being supported by the X99s mpower board.
Memory no longer works on XMP.

System was ran mostly at stock, board. CPU and ram bought from Hivizman who assured me that 3000mhz was ok on this board, which I've ran since I bought it last year. Board states compatibility with ram upto 3200mhz. Had the CPU clocked at 4.5 until last night, but now xmp refuses to work with the chip at stock?
Interesting, I thought all Asus boards had the oc socket, so high cache and memory speeds are standard on theese compared to non oc socket models?
Popped the battery out of the board this evening, ram now back running at 3000mhz? Cpu at defaults, had it at 4.5ghz up until this issue happened. Odd thing is though i had no errors such as bsods, black screens system freezes etc. Had the machine on alll monday night just browsing the net, shut down as normal only for this to appear last night upon the first switch on since monday. Definitely a strange one.
