My 3200MHz ram wont let my i7-6700K boot?

[Roshio]

I have an i7-6700K on a Z270 mobo and 3200MHz g.skill tridentZ RAM. When I try to start my build it runs and the lights and fans all start but the CPU and DRAM trouble lights alternate. Is there something I have to do to make my DRAM and CPU cooperate prior to installing the RAM? Please and thanks, any tips and guidance is appreciated.
P.S. This is only my second build

No, there isn't anything you have to do to get them to cooperate. I suspect you've bent a pin on the CPU, installed it incorrectly, or haven't properly connected all the power cables to the motherboard. It could possibly be a bad motherboard.

What kind of Z270 motherboard do you have?
Do you have one that has the post LED codes? if yes, then what is the readout?

Could be one of the things thx1138v2 sayd but it could also be your memory that is faulty. Mine was and I had the exact same problem as you are having now.

Try with one stick of memory without setting XMP in the bios. See what happens. If fail take the memory module out and try the next module.
If this also fails, try an another DIMM port.

I have the Gigabyte gaming 5 mATX board now, ive tried MSI and ROG maximus 8, I also cant even get to a boot screen with any of them. I'll try the one memory at a time and see if it works, thanks

I have 3 mobos now that aarent letting the computer start. the RoG had some codes that just looped forever and never booted. I'll try what lumineZ said and test each individual stick. I really hope its not the processor, that and the 980TI are the components that I handle with the most care.

Dont worry.... its impossibe to bend a pin on the i7-6700k since it has none... the pins are on the motherboard, so you need to take care when installing it into the socket.

If this problem is on 3 different motherboards, and if you take a really really close look on the pins that is in the motherboard cpu socket and none of them is bent.
Then I would say I am 99% sure it is your memory that is faulty.
