Z87 MSI MPOWER MAX: Can't make my 2400mhz RAM run in this frequency.

[DanCaparroz]

Hello guys.

I have searched a lot regarding this but I'm still lost.

I have a 16GB 2400mhz Corsair Platinum Dominator kit running with my z87 MSI MPOWER MAX + i7 4770k and I can't figure out how to bring it to 2400mhz.

I have done it several times and every single time I try to boot my PC I get that screen telling me to press F1 to run setup or F2 to ru nthe default BIOS settings.

I have already:
1- Set the XMP profile in the BIOS
2 - Set the 2400mhz frequency instead of "auto" in the BIOS
3 - Points 1 and 2 below, together

Last night I tryed to look for manual timings settings but I couldn't change it from "auto".

Here are some things that might help you guys to bring me to light.

Your probably going to need to overclock your processor to the 4.2 area then set the voltage on the memory to 1.65 set it to the advertised timings and try 2133 first. You would of had a easier time using a 2X8 gb set instead of 4 sticks.

Wow, thats quite confusing since I have heard to boost the RAM before the OC of my CPU (tbh thats the main reason to put the ram at 2400mhz.. have a better cpu oc performance)

if you can't get it to run at 2400 then you need to OC your processor and or add more voltage. I would overclock the processor first what you heard don't matter.
