I recently purchased a Corsair Dominator DDR4 2400 C10 2x8GB memory sticks to go with my new x99 motherboard but I am a bit concerned with them. I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to overclocking so maybe I am just missing something but I would love to have someone more knowledgeable help me to determine if there is something wrong with these RAM sticks or not.
Basically, I have discovered that in my BIOS you can see that the two sticks I am using seem to have different stock latency timings. I'm not sure if this is common or a trivial matter but I have a feeling that one of the sticks is not on par with the other especially because any attempts to overclock them to either the XMP profile provided or anywhere approaching those values with manual inputs results in a computer that will not POST, or an OS that fails to boot, or if I am more sparing with the OCing then it results in programs that run fine but sometimes will absolutely not close or have their processes ended via task manager.
So could this be a problem? It appears that only the "third timings" are the ones with any type of discrepancy but I don't understand why else I cannot seem to OC my RAM at all save for one stick being of less quality than the other.
And also, is it stupid of me to expect the XMP profile this set of RAM was advertised to work at to be guaranteed to work for me? Because unfortunately I paid a bit extra for these over similar makes because they were rated better in terms of latency than anything else I could find.
Thanks for any help or input you can provide.
