Hi everyone - first time on the G.Skill forums. Hoping to get some help. I just did a rebuild (components listed below). The mem is running at the Intel default 1600mhz - every time I enable XMP in BIOS or force the 2666 manually, I get a message that the overclock failed and the PC doesn't boot.
Any ideas? The G.Skill site lists this memory as compatible with this mobo, however the MSI site does not list this ram as compatible. Not sure if that matters. Trying to discover the culprit here (ram, mobo, cpu?) - I don't have any problems pushing the processor to 4.7ghz stable with my Noctua cooler. Just frustrating that I can't get the ram to run at the DDR 2666 that it should easily be capable of.
Core i7 4790k 4Ghz (running at 4.7)
MSI Z97 Gaming 5
G.Skill Trident X DDR3 2666 (F3-2666C11Q-16GTXD)
MSI GTX 970
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!!
