Hello ,

guys i got real problems with setting my RAM to its native frq. 3200 MHz.
After turning on XMP Profile 2.0 system boots but there are huge problems with stability in games . ( blue screens )

Ive tryed to turn on XMP profile and manually change VCCIO and VCCSA but PC didnt boot and automaticly rolled settings to 2133 MHz.

Additionally , i tryed to turn off XMP and set manually cloak to 3200 , it didnt work , PC didnt boot and rolled back to 2133 MHz.

RAM sticks are in slots 1 and 2 . After trying to put it into 3 and 4 , PC didnt boot ( dont know why ?! ) , Even when i took battery out and reset BIOS settings to default.

PC specs :
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz ( OC to 4.4GHz)
RAM : G.Skill F4-3200C16-8GVKB x2
Board : Z370 Pro4 BIOS v.3.1
GPU : GTX1060 6 GB
 
Memory slots are A1, A2, B1 and B2 not 1,2,3,4. The motherboard manual shows what slots are populated when using two DIMMs.

Supported memory for i5-8600K is DDR4-2666. You might try that using that speed.

You can test for defective memory with Memtest86.

If you get any errors, return the entire kit under warranty.
 
As suggested with some boards (I know with my x370) the recommended slots are 2 and 4. Try that first. Is your BIOS up to date as well? Sometimes newer revisions can help sort out any glitches/inconsistencies when it comes to ram compatibility.
 



that solved all problems .


i still dont know why my didnt boot yesterday when i tryed to switch for A2 and B2 but today it did .
thanks for help
