Hello, I've just bought an Z170 extreme4 board with an 6400 cpu and 8GB crucial ram 2400mhz. I really dont know what iam doing wrong or why it aint working. I updated the bios to the latest version 2.4. Changed the BLCK to 125 set memory profile, profile_1 wich is 2400mhz everything else stock. Save&exit > no boot I shutdown the system press it on again it boots but in some sort of safe mode so i can enter the bios and change the values. I noticed the system target memory speed is set to 3000 why? Ive tried different voltages/blck clocks but always somehow the memory speeds seems to end up higher then the value i put it on. Do i miss something? i think the system fails because of the ram speed. Anyone? |

| You need BIOS version 2.43 beta which can be found http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170%20Extreme4/?cat=Beta" rel="nofollow - here if you are using a Z170 Extreme4. It is under the Beta Zone section on your product page. |

Tried even a BLCK of 103 and it didnt boot... Memory can be overclocked as i just tried, 2600mhz is no problem at all but once the blck is touched > no boot, so it cannot be a memory problem. |

Sorry for the hold.. sure no problem. Right now i have it on 4.2 (still testing) ram on 2700. I did have some bsods/freezes and didnt know if it was my ram or cpu oc. Ram right now stable from 2400 16-16-16-39 to 2700 14-14-14-36 on 1.3v 6400K on 4.2 with 1.35 and still testing so far stable, will try increasing clock speed in the next days.http://valid.x86.fr/lh4xbr" rel="nofollow - http://valid.x86.fr/lh4xbr 4.2Ghz stable with 1.35v http://valid.x86.fr/u6q138" rel="nofollow - http://valid.x86.fr/u6q138 4.45Ghz but i know it aint stable on 1.35v As i dont want to put more then 1.35v i might reach 4.3/4.4 :) Many thanks or the beta bios btw ! |

Very, very nice, thanks for the validations. I understand about your fear of more voltage. But Skylake processors seem very hardy, the stock VID of many i7-6700Ks was ~1.4V, over that IIRC. I wondered if that was just early BIOS versions being crazy, but when have we ever seen that before? My i5-6600K runs quite cool, much cooler than my Haswell processor, although that is comparing hot peppers to oranges. I highly doubt a run or two at 1.4V+ would kill your i5-6400k  , but do whatever you feel good about. Looks like CPU-Z thinks you are at 1.392V at 4212MHz now... but your 4454MHz run is at 1.07V? Oh CPU-Z, what are you doing to our minds?  ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
