XMP not working HyperX 3600mhz

[julianst]

Hello,

When I enable XMP in my BIOS, my pc won’t start 2 out of 3 times. It takes me to the BIOS and says “boot failure detected”. My memory is Kingston HyperX 16gb 3600mhz. According to the specs, my motherboard can handle 3600mhz, and the memory is in the QVL list. So now I need to play at 2400mhz. What is wrong?

Specs
Mothetboard: Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Elite
CPU: I7 9700K
Memory: Kingston HyperX 16gb 3600mhz
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce 1080ti OC
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO m.2 500gb

Have you tried 3200?

Thanks for your answer, I already tried to put it on 2666mhz, since that's the max that the CPU allows. But also then it fails to boot or bootloops. Also good to know, when I turn on XMP, it will also bootloops sometimes and then the DRAM light is red at my motherboard, since the ram is causing the problem..

Strange , Hyper X is very good memory.
