[SOLVED] Can't OC HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB 8GB to 4000Mhz

[adarisbo]

I have recently bought two Hyperx 8GB memory modules. They're supposed to run at 4000MHz using XMP Profile 1, however, it's not working.

After saving the settings during the BIOS setup, the screen goes black and the monitor says there's no signal. It stays that way for about 20 seconds until the PC shuts itself off and tries to restart. When that happens, it instantly turns itself off as if the OC had failed. After that, it tries to start a second time and it fails to boot even though now it lasts for about 5 seconds.

My motherboard is supposed to support up to 4266MHz, so that shouldn't be an issue. The memories work fine using Profile 2 at 3600Mhz.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 GAMING SLI (rev. 1.0)
Memory: 2x HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB 8GB 4000MHz HX440C19PB3A/8

Thanks in advance.

It's very common not to reach 4000mhz. , even if motherboard supports it. Technically nothing above the standard of 2666mhz. is guaranteed. 3600mhz. is actually very good for a Z390 board and a K series CPU.

I see. Thought reaching 4000Mhz was more common. Guess I shouldn't be complaining then. Thanks for the help.

No problem. 3600 is very good.
