I added more ram and can’t overclock it
Go to solution
Solved by YoungBlade,
With an i7 8700K, DDR4-3200 is technically an overclock of the memory controller. The CPU is only rated for DDR4-2666.
8700K CPUs that can't handle 4 sticks at 3200 are rare, but they do exist.
If you enable XMP, then manually set the frequency to DDR4-2666, does it work?
