[SOLVED] Asus Z170-AR with 32gb - 3600Mhz RAM troubleshooting - I7 6700K

[Stron2088]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to 32gb of ram, i went with G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600. When I enable the XMP profile, the system does not boot. It will turn on and off for 10 mins and never go to windows. I've adjusted the setting manually using the tweektown guide for Skylake and can't seem to get the Memory to go past 3200mhz. I manually change the timing to match the Ram CL(16,19,39) in the Bios. I changed the Voltages for DRAM voltage(1.3662v), VCCIO(1.325v), and System Agent Voltages(1.35). The Tweektown Skylake guide advised not to go past 1.35v on VCCIO or System Agent Voltages. Any other suggestions on how i can get this ram to run at 3600mhz instead of 3200mhz? I've tried running this at stock CPU speed as well as OCing to 4.6ghz on CPU.

Maximum ram speed on that motherboard is 3466. Id say the ram you have has a couple of XMP profiles, 3200 and 3600. In between is a crapshoot. Might be possible to adjust timings for 3466 but no guarantees, you're at the maximum limits that motherboard can handle.

3200 is fine btw, Intel isn't as fussed with ram speed at this level and wouldn't notice any different.
