My Z170 Extreme7+ Motherboard will not post when more than 2 memory slots are populated. (I am trying to run 2 sets of identical dual chanell kits)
I have tried each stick individually, and they all work, every memory slot works indvidually, and each kit will post as dual channel. ( can even mix and match the stics and they will post properly)
The Ram in question is G-Skill Ripjaws F4-3200C14D-32GVK.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me for this matter

Problem is that you are forcing the IMC of the CPU populating all banks on a Dual Channel board. With 2x8GB u r more than fine. But u can try...

Enter with 2 modules and go to System Agent Voltage add +0.20
If mem is 1.35 stock give 1.4
Add a third stick and try if it works add the fourth

Hallo David,

I'm looking to build my next rig with the same configuration as yours,
6700K+ EXTREME7+
except that I would like to buy F4-3200C14Q-64GVK.
So I'm very interested to know:
1. If you succeed in making your pc run with that ram kit ;
2. If you have a comparison rig and can you notice major inprovements ;

I would use mine overclocked at 4.6 and I do not have time for tuning rams,
so for me the ideal situation would be:
a. set xmp to 3.2,
b. overclock to 4.6 with the preset oc from the motherboard.
Is that feasible?

Thanks in advance for your helpful answers.

Antonio

My board (extreme 7+ skylake) is running 32gb total (4x 8gb) with the xmp profile running at 3200. Cpu is rock solid at 4600Mhz. Not sure about 64gb though.
