Take out one stick - that's a good idea. I'll do so tonight.

in fact, i'll also try the 2nd channel as well.

Thank! i'll post findings (hopefully conclusive ones) once i'm done.

Have you tried booting with a single stick at a time and setting the XMP profile to rule out memory issues? IIRC, all you should really need to do is set the xmp profile and the speed (well, I did anyway but I'm pretty sure it'll just set once you reboot with the XMP profile), other things will automatically set themselves upon a reboot.

Just bought a new setup:
ASROCK Z370 K6 Mobo
CoffeeLake i7-8700K 3.7Ghz
2 x Corsair Vengeance PC3200 CMU32GX4M2C3200C16 (Listed on Asrock K6 Memory QVL)

Upgraded BIOS to P1.40

At default settings, the RAM is being recognized as a DDR4-2166.
Using CPU-Z, Northbridge frequency goes up to 4KMhz+, but memory speed is only at 10xx+.

When i turned on XMP under easy mode to Profile 1:
-> Takes 10 seconds for restart, and prompted with "system failed to boot several times before" message. 
-> Memory still detected and ran as 2166Mhz

When i go into advanced mode to set the timings manually:
-> XMP Profile to 1
-> Speed to 100Mhz
-> Select DDR3200
-> Set Latency Timings
-> Still the same thing above happens, "system failed to boot several times before" on reboot.
-> Still detected at 2166.

When i turn everything to Auto
-> Boots fine without "system failed to boot several times before" message

Need Help. Don't wanna have had spent extra bucks on 3200 memory to go to waste.
