Alright, here's the deal. I have a gaming/editing system with a gtx 1070, an i7-6700k at 4.5Ghz, and currently 32Gb of Muskin blackline ddr4. The problem is, all that ram is stuck at the stock speed of 2133Mhz. No matter what I do, it won't go any higher without causing instability. It is supposedly rated for 2400Mhz, but even the XMP won't stay stable. I have tried raising the voltage, lower overclocks, even messing with the timings, and nothing will stabilize it with anything over stock speeds. At stock speeds it is rock solid, but I really wish I could take advantage of faster ram, especially with the video editing that I do. I suspect it is either a motherboard compatibility issue, or my motherboard has remnant damage that I was unaware of (I had a 6600k fail massively in this board once). My 2 part question is, #1 is there anything I can do to make the ram I already have overclock? And #2 would it be worthwhile to sell the ram and get a different brand, or do you think my Mobo is shot? Thanks!

 

Edit: The motherboard is an MSI Z170-a sli non-plus.
