ASUS PRIME Z270-P & G.SKILL Trident Z 3600mhz X.M.P Unstable

[jonnymc]

CPU : i7 7700K 4.2ghz (no oc)
GPU: EVGA GTX 1080TI FTW3
PSU: EVGA 750W GQ
MOBO: ASUS PRIME Z270-P


Hi guys, I just purchased the G.SKILL Trident Z 3600mhz (2x8GB) and installed them into my PC and when I click the X.M.P Profile I check if the timings, voltage and speed has changed and it has.

When I boot up the PC it will restart sometimes and make it into the OS and sometimes not. When I test with AIDA64(Stability Test) the runs for about 3 seconds and shows the system instability error.

I have reset the bios to default (updated to latest bios aswell) and have no CPU overclock and the ram runs fine at 2133mhz and is stable but I would really like to get the Ram to 3600mhz. Ive been looking through threads all night and have adjusted the DRAM voltage then ive seen other threads saying increase the VCCIO and to adjust timings but I'm just not sure. If anyone could help me out would be appreciated!

Overclocking the cpu might help. Maybe that even just enabling MCE will help.

If you don't want to OC is adding some voltage,like 0.05V,to the VCCIO (memory controller) maybe effective.

In the end may the memory controller be too weak to sustain this speed.You'll just have to test different settings.

Maybe this article can help,

I have the same Mobo + Ramm combination with a 6700k. I've never been able to boot the PC with the XMP profile changing through 3 or 4 bios versions. The most I can get out of my Ramm is 2933 at 1.300v (approx). If you find any solution please update the post
