    Posted: 06 Nov 2017 at 11:30pm
So I am running an 8700k with a Noctua D15, Meshify C case, 1080ti, 16gb Corsair 3200mhz ram that's on the mobo "accepted" list, and an ASRock K6 Fatality Z370 board.  

I am a newb at this first of all.  I turned off Multi Core Enhancement and am trying for my own stable, safe overclock.  I am trying a 47 multiplier and 1.32 vcore.  I turned OFF Speed Step, Speed Shift, and Turbo Boost.  When I booted into Windows it kept putting my clock back to stock 3.7.  I guess I have to keep Turbo Boost on?  Are there other settings I should be changing for a safe 4.7 overclock besides just setting the multiplier to 47 and turning off speed step?  

My temperatures at 4.7/1.3vcore in Destiny 2 were between 65-80.  Is that normal?  I feel like pushing into the high 70s and touching low 80s at load seems high, but maybe I'm not used to these new chips.  I ran Firestrike and got a 23150 ish, but during the CPU test my 8700k reached into the high 90s.  Same during a Cinebench (I think it got like 1390-ish, but ran up to 98 degrees which makes me nervous to run it again, but also seemed low compared to other scores I saw.... does RAM affect this?).  Runs in the 30s totally idle, around 40 when I've got some browsers open.  

The main question here is that when I tried to enable XMP I couldn't boot Windows, froze on login.  My RAM is showing up as 2133 when it should be 3200mhz.  I noticed there was an XMP switch on the motherboard that I didn't mess with - should I try that?  And if I do that, I shouldn't mess with BIOS settings right?  The sticks are in slots A2 and B2 I'm pretty sure as the manual instructed.  I'm getting a little worried and frustrated with my build so far that things don't seem to be working, temps may be too high, and my fans sound SOOOOO loud (not really the mobo fault though).  Even at normal ~1000 rpm they sound so loud, and I put them up to performance mode to keep temps down and during gaming they sound like a vacuum or something running next to me.

I'm having some problems with this as well right now.

Bought my first chip, then decided that I should play the lottery again. Now, I can't boot with my old (RAM) settings anymore.

My old CPU would let my run my RAM at 3466MHz with only 1.3V. The new chip seems to have problems even with 1.35V and 3200MHz.

Same problem here, anyone got a solution?
my ram is setup as 3200 and 8700k with 4.6 and it keeps on resetting after shut down.
