XMP Profile for 3200MHz memory only running at 2666

[MayorPotatoSalad]

Just got a 32Gb kit of Hyper X fury rated at 3200MHz, and despite having the 3200MHz XMP profile applied, it only runs at 2666.

 

I tried both setting the XMP profile and then manually setting the speed to 3200MHz, but when I do so I fail to post.

 

I am running an 8700 on an H370-I Gaming board from Asus.

 

Any tips would be appreciated.

Might be because its an 8700 on the H370 chipset, as it's maximum out of the box supported speed is 2666mhz.

Well at least Ryzen 4000 will be out soon next year if you want 8 or 12 cores for some reason.

6 cores/12 threads is about all I am able to cool in my current rig haha Some of the Ryzen stuff does look super enticing though, just hard to know how I would go cooling it given how unreliable TDP is for comparisons.
