Z270 Killer SLI/AC RAM Issue?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, I am trying to figure out something regarding this motherboard and ram compatibility.
The motherboards BIOS version is currently 2.10. Its running Windows 10 Home Edition 64bit. I just bought a new set of Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800). The actual part number for the ram is: CMK16GX4M2D3600C18

I can?�t seem to get this ram to clock to 3600MHZ. I?�ve changed the settings in the bios from  Auto and set it to use the XMP 2.0 profile and set the clock speed to be 3600 but it seems to stay set at 2133mhz. It has an Intel Core I7 6700K  processor which is set to performance mode. Any help in understanding what I may be doing wrong or if it?�s a compatibility issue?

Thanks for the help

	For openers the ram is not on the QVL. Possibly changing settings and voltage will get it working. It is best to stay with product on the QVL
