Hi, I have a Asrock Taichi z370 and 16GB of Dark Pro Team Group ram rated at 14-14-14-31 3200MHz and the ram doesn't want to go over 2933MHz or so no matter what i throw at it.

I have 2933MHz with Vccio set at 1.150v and Vccsa at 1.170v, Voltage is at 1.340v and IntelBurn Test passed very High many times.

None of the test booted into windows...
Test 1: 3200MHz 14-14-14-31 with Vccio at 1.200 and Vccsa at 1.250 and Voltage at 1.350v
Test 2: 3200MHz 14-14-14-31 with Vccio at 1.200 and Vccsa at 1.250 and Voltage at 1.390v
Test 3: 3200MHz 14-14-14-31 with Vccio at 1.200 and Vccsa at 1.300 and Voltage at 1.350v
Test 4: 3200MHz 14-14-14-31 with Vccio at 1.240 and Vccsa at 1.300 and Voltage at 1.390v

What configurations worked for people when having this problem

What Cpu did you use? Try higher Timings? CL15 or CL16? Looks like you Ram already on limit using 2933Mhz Cl14 because of bad module (?), This is why you have to buy a product that give a XMP settings.

I have tried 3200Mhz 15-15-15-34 and it now works just needs 1.40 voltage, but I think that is to high so I down Clock it for safety...I wish there was a way to add less voltage but still work...

Have you set an XMP profile for your RAM? Your motherboard supports RAM speeds up to 4333Mhz when it is overclocked, which can be done by setting an XMP profile within the BIOS.

Hm. Normally you don't tinker with timings and voltages. You just set an XMP profile and reboot your system.

Could you try resetting everything in your BIOS to default by resetting the CMOS? This can be done by removing the CMOS battery from your motherboard, attempting to power on PC and then placing the CMOS battery back in.

Once everything is set to default in the BIOS, you can set an XMP profile and not touch voltage or timings, and then reboot your system?

Yes I Have done reset of standard default settings. I will try and rest the battery and make sure that Ram placment is done correctly...I will try one ram stick at at time and see if it is the ram or the ram slot in the motherboard too...

Is 3200MHz 14-14-14-31 at 1.400v standard for most ram? And or safe for 24/7 use?

My ram company says it should be 3200MHz at 14-14-14-31 at 1.35v but I can’t do that apparently and need voltage increase to reach it...

1.4V ( 1.400 ) is safe for 24/7 use, but souldnt recomment to go any higher then 1.4! :)
