Question XMP settings - black screen & no boot

[gunnyHighwayT]

Running configuration:

• MBO: Gigabyte z690 ud ddr4
• CPU: i7 12700K
• VGA: Gigabyte GF RTX3080 AORUS X, 10GB GDDR6X
• MEM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V, F4-4000C14D-16GVK, DDR4 4000MH 4x8gb
• PSU: Corsair 1000W HX1000, 80 PLUS Platinum
• Fractal Celsius S36 Water cooling

I've tried enabling XMP profile, manually setting the clocks, setting CPU to Gear 2 but no luck... any setting i try i get black screen and no boot.

Any one experienced with these kind of issues? My memory currently runs on 2133Mhz, and would love to OC it to 4000MHz.

Any help would be appreciated

well, call me stupid.. but it works.. goes to 3999mhz according to windows...
Channel A2 & B2, accepts auto configs and boots up..

Now it begs the question why doesn't it work with 4 sticks?

 

[rgd1101]

now try all 4.
was this 2 ram kit?

its 2 kits , 2x8GB

with all 4 sticks.. black screen on boot , had to reset bios

From that part number you bought 2 separate sets you should of bought a 2X16gb set for 32GB

so you are saying that i cant run 4 sticks , all the same but different package / kit?

 

[rgd1101]

4x8GB kit would get tested together.
2 kit might work or not.
2 stick kit would work.

You might can make it work faster than 2133.
Set XMP then manually set the speed to 3200 save and exit, if that works go back into BIOS and manually set it to 3600.

EDIT Intel processors are not as memory speed dependent as AMD.
I under stand you would like the 4000 you paid for but it comes down to like a lot of people learn the hard way (post first buy after)

the thing is i have no clue how to get it to 3200,
what settings i need to change.. etc

well its not an issue if i don't get it to 4000 its just i would expect to work as declared.. but hey.. i didnt know same manufacturer has different kits whilst its the same memory
