Ram overclock

[Cosmin1]

Hey guys,

 

I've got two dual channel kits of the geil super luce 3000mhz ddr4 ram for a total of 16gb

 

Whenever I set the xmp profile to 3000mhz the pc won't boot.

 

The motherboard is an asrock z170m extreme4 with an i7 6700k cpu

 

Any tips on I what might be doing wrong?

 

I've attached a picture of the specs of the ram

Try taking out a couple sticks and see if it will post, if not, start testing other sticks, 1 @ a time and see if you have a dead stick.

Try this if that fails try memtest86!

Thank you, with two of the sticks sometimes it boots and I get into windows and seems to work fine at 3000mhz, sometimes I get bluescreen, and sometime it's going into automatic windows repair and afer I press a few times enter it gets into windows or I get a bluescreen, by the way I forgot to mention, the SSD I've put in this system is from another PC and already had windows 10 installed from that system, could that be causing this behaviour? Didn;t really want to do a clean install of windows cause I've got an m.2 sm951 ssd of the way that will be the main drive for this system.

 

PS: with all the 4 sticks of ram running at 2133 mhz I don't get any errors

run a memtest86 from a USB...

Is the Ram in compatibility List of the Mainboard?

Is there a new BIOS version available (maybe it improves stability with Ram).

 

Which slots are you using? 1+3, or 2+4? Try the other ones, or just 1 stick at a time.

Thank you for all the suggestions, didn't really have time to test them all out.

 

But from the testing I've done, I managed to find out which was the bad stick.

 

I tried one stick at a time, and also ran a stress test on the system memory with aida64,

with only one stick of memory I get blue screens, and failed test in aida64.

 

I guess it's safe to say that one stick is the problem, right?
