[SOLVED] Added RAM - will not boot

[Chelsea1905]

Hi
Hope I'm posting in the right place.
I have been running a stable overclock on an i5 9600k @ 4.8 GHz. 1.275v

RAM is 2x 8gb Crucial 3000mhz DDR 4

Today,I added another 2 sticks of Crucial 3000 MHz DDR4 to a total of 32 GB.

Went into MSI Bios and set the frequency to 3000, which was showing as 2133mhz, and rebooted.

System would not boot and displayed a message that overclocking had failed and gave me choices of previous OC profiles. I selected the base profile before CPU overclock ( 3.7 GHz) and now the system boots fine.

Would this be that due to the extra RAM that the OC voltage is now inadequate, and therefore unstable?


Vcore is now 1.088v, and the RAM is running 1.368v.

Mobo is MSI Z390 Gaming edge.

Appreciate any advice.

Yes, overclocking with 4 sticks of ram is more difficult then with 2 sticks. You'll need to experiment to find your new OC unfortunately.
