Hello!

So, I bought some additional RAM for my system as 32GB wasn't cutting unfortunately - so I bought another kit off OCUK (Used same Stock code and Sticks match) but when trying to boot with 64GB XMP enabled it fails.

I can get it to boot at 3400MHz stable, 1.35v. I tried 3600MHz 1.4v but that didn't do it either.

I am wondering why this is? Its apparently supposed to even like 4x 4200MHz (O.C.)!

I have the all limits thing disabled - basically allowed the CPU to run Full Powwwweeeerrr.

Any help with this is much appreciated - I don't like the fact that something I paid extra for is not running at what's its supposed to be running at :/

Equipment:

EDIT 1: I have now finished running MemTest86+ - No errors running at 3400MHz CL16 1.35v.

EDIT 2: I have now tried each pair of sticks separately in both slots with XMP - all good in that sense. I have increased VCCIO and System Agent to 1.25 then to 1.35 with no luck either. It seems to be struggling with 3600MHz for some reason. 3400 rock solid stable at default XMP timings and voltages.

EDIT 3: Board + CPU RMAd - MODs please close the the thread. Thanks.
