4 x 16 sticks of TridentZ won't run at 3200

[Tristerin]

About to hit a meeting, can elaborate later - CPU has a max threshold of 2933mhz anything after that is luck or dialing it in yourself.  Mobo may have different rated speeds for each of the dual channel ranks - I.E. my ASRock board has A2/B2 3200mhz, A1/B1 is 2933mhz max on that B450 board.

ah okay, ill live with it I got a mass discount on my chip anyway

Its no biggie just look up in CPU-Z and see if CL also reduced!

but I've seen 2700x do 4 sticks 3200 before, did I just get a bad chip?

You've seen someone else running 4 dual rank 16GB sticks at 3200Mhz on a 2700X?

 

They probably spent a very long time tuning the timings and voltages. Or they got lucky.

So I have 4 x 16gb sticks of tridentZ, but they won't run at the advertised 3200mhz.

I have tried enabling XMP/D.O.C.P in bios, no luck. Whenever I try 3200mhz it goes into a boot loop, then when I check it in cpuZ it says its running at ~1061 or 2133. So XMP not working basically

 

Edit: Sorry for not posting system specs its a 2700x, B450-f, and a RX580 strix. Cooler is a x62 and psu is a evga 850G3

Is this the kit?

math:

*3200MHz CL16 = 10 nano seconds

*2933MHz CL14 = 9,54 nano seconds (best case scenario)

*2933MHz CL15 = 10,22 nano seconds (most likely now)

*2933MHz CL16 = 10,91 nano seconds (worst case scenario)

Honest I doubt you can see much of a change from just 0,22 nano seconds... UwU

On first gen I cant get a single smudge of overclocking out of the chips memory controller with 4x8gb let alone even more dense sticks.  

 

To the OP - I cant find your boards limitations online other than 3200mhz is accepted - which is great but doesn't change the fact that your CPUs memory controller (both the board...and the CPU have their own) maxes out (per the spec) @ 2933mhz.  I would first get it stable there.  Once stable start adjusting until stability or run it at the rated guaranteed speeds.
