    Posted: 19 Oct 2016 at 6:36pm
Hi, first post here and somewhat of n00b so please bare with me!


I bought this board (Extreme6 Z170) a few months ago as part of my first ever build and so far have been extremely happy with it. The only issue I'm having is that I bought the RAM without checking compatibility and ended up getting the RIPJAWS V (F4-3000C15D-16GVRB). 

I installed everything and it works but I can only get the memory to work at 2133... Checked compatibility page now and that particular model is not listed. I also noticed this RAM is 1.35V and most of the ones listed there are only 1.2V.

So my question is, Is there anything I can do to get this RAM to reach 3000 or should I just cut my losses and sell it? The reason I want this to operate a little faster is that I will soon have to start editing quite a few videos on this computer and every little bit helps. If I can get this memory to reach 3000 I may even buy 32Gb more to help this further.

Thank you very much!



PS:
Not sure if this is relevant but the rest of my build is:

i7 - 6700K
MSI GTX970"
Seasonic SS760XP2

Hello,

In the BIOS -> OC Tweaker -> DDR Menu -> Activate XMP Smile

Cool, thanks for that! I did that and then checked CUP-Z and this is what it's showing now

Is this correct? How do I know what speed it is running on?

In CPU-Z, Frequency = DRAM Frequency*2. So in your case, 1066*2 = 2133. Your kit, for whatever reason, is still running at 2133mhz.

Are you sure you've enabled XMP? Can you take a couple pictures of your BIOS? Because if it was enabled, it should have gone into 3000mhz (or, in CPU-Z, 1500).

Ok, here are some of the screenshots:


This is what I tried 1st following JZ's suggestion

https://goo.gl/photos/4NiBTN7KSXzmKRke9

The computer took a while to post up once I enabled XMP (3-4min and that's on a SSD and Win10)

Then I changed from DRAM Frequency from Auto to DDR43000

https://goo.gl/photos/16KJovYj6hS3MLWM8

It then wouldn't even post up... it took a good 10min after a couple of hard restarts to get it to post up which I'm assuming was the BIOS doing some fail safe thing once it realized something was up.

Even after all this, I still have the same results... so basically, stuck on 2133.

I have now disabled XMP and gone put everything back to auto and the PC booted up normally again, so I'm starting to think this RAM is just not compatible at all which sucks a LOT

If you manually change the frequency, you also have to manually input the timings and voltage, otherwise it'll never post.

At any rate, try a Bios update. Skylake was pretty finnicky with memory when it first came out.

This is the second or third OC Tweaker screenshot I've seen recently of an ASRock Z170 board, that shows the Cache speed higher than the CPU speed.

The Target CPU speed is shown as 4000MHz.

The Target Cache speed is shown as 4100MHz.

The description of the CPU Cache Ratio in the OC Tweaker screen states the maximum (ratio) should be the same as the CPU ratio.

When the PC boots with those settings, the Cache will only be at 4000MHz, the same as the maximum CPU ratio. So that Cache Ratio setting is ignored.

EdOz, did you set the CPU Ratio to 40, and the CPU Cache Ratio to 41? If not, I'm wondering where it comes from.
