guide for overclocking ram???

[Ramke_99]

does anyone have a guide for how to overclock ram. I have 3200Mhz ram but when i switch the MB to allow the faster speed it wont boot correctly. I figure someones already had this problem and knows how to fix it 

 

thanks- Ramke

What I'm guessing is that you go into UEFI/BIOS and you input the XMP profile?

 

If you could tell your processor, motherboard and memory models it would be a bit easier to help. 

 

The issue might be that your Mobo does not support memory speeds up to 3200 or your processor can't handle it. A BIOS update might help with this and sometimes if the XMP profile does not work out of the box, it can work if you apply the values of the XMP profile, for example DRAM voltage = 1.35V instead of having it on auto.

Correct

 

cpu is an Intel core i5 6600k, a z170x gaming 5 (gigabyte) and ram is Corsair vengance LPX 3200. the Mobo should support it as it was why i went with that ram and Mobo. I havent looked at changing the voltages as I dont really know what I'm looking at.

Well, I would say update your BIOS to the latest version. If that doesn't help, you probably need to change VCCIO and VCSA, but I can't help you with those, because I have not played around with these settings myself.

I did this (rather stressfully) went through and redid my preferences and was able to boot first go with 3200Mhz with no extra tweaking. then I ran a memory benchmark on passmark and was very suprised with the results
