@metal , I see one or more memory sticks have some problems at these settings - triple/single channel. Problems like that are quite often on X99. I have it usually with 3/4 slot from left side.

Maybe I will post something soon but first I have to finish tests on the other rig.

There is something going on with the last slot on the left ( A1). CPUZ shows 16GB and all four slots as being populated but running triple channel, XTU shows 12GB with three channels.

I switched to a different BIOS and now CPUZ shows Quad channel with 16GB but XTU and Mem Tweak show 12GB running three channels.

Try to lose the timings ( CL13, tWCL 13 ) or check Rampage Tweak 1. These are Hynix sticks so should work without bigger problems but maybe something is too tight. I have more often problems with Micron or Samsung at 3000+.

Still getting triple channel even with a fresh BIOS flash and all default settings. Maybe the SS head is too tight and its dropping a channel like the socket 1366 used to do.
 
Try to switch memory in slots. Is it working good at lower clock ?

My newer benching rigs are in RMA except 1150 with Pentium so I guess I won't show much in this competition.

Why not? It doesn't matter how many cores you have.
 
Just a quick message, to let you guys know that I will be down (offline) for awhile. I just got some new parts for my gaming rig and it's also that time to clean it :(
I used to be able to do this stuff in a single day but now it can take me up to a week to complete the task:(
This is also MY only link to the internet but I did finish my benching rig:) Not sure if you can see in the picture but it's not linked so I don't have a AV or FW in the background taking up resources:)

Pulled all of the ram out and tried booting with one stick at a time in slot A1 and only one out of four worked. So it's back to running quad channel like it should.

I did some research and apparently if a channel fails training on boot up that channel is intentionally dropped.
 
You can force additional training which helps ( simply enable everything with dram training ) but can cause some issues at higher clocks ( 3300+ ).
I think it's a board's fault as the same was happening on every DDR4 I had just on some IC it's at higher clock. At least on current IC optimal performance is at ~3000 and tight timings.

On the forums are many users who are showing how high they set their DDR4 but many of these results are in 2-3 channels instead of 4.
 
OK so I am completely new to fiddling with ram so bear with me.

Picked up some new corsair dominator platinum 2133 cl 8 10 10 27 kit and plugged them in last night. Got them running 8 9 9 25 1T 1 hour AIDA and 7 9 9 9 27 kinda stable. Now I didn't expect a huge difference but found no difference in scores from my previous and gamer sticks @ 10 11 11 30. Am I missing something thought there would be at least a little better showing. CPU/NB was 2600 ish.

Any thoughts!
 
I'm certainly no ram expert either, however I do know that (as you say) "Kinda Stable" can cause lower scores in some benches. Not sure about AIDA though.
 
Low main timing performance can be offset by less than optimal subtimings. So if all other timings are left on auto with "ram training" the board will loosen the subtiming to allow the main timings to run at lower latency. That's why 10-11-11 and 7-12-7 can produce the same results at 2400. This was something I noticed when setting some of the profiles on the board for ram. The PSC profile set the tighter main timings but really loosened up everything else.
 
I was working on my AMD system last night...... I know my Intel board has ram training but my Crosshair? I did try the kit at 2400mhz but it wouldn't boot. But again I only had a bit of time and really wanted to see if the Corsair ram would play nice with my FX rig, which it did. I need to swap around some drives and re instal windows and make a benching drive before I get serious on this comp though.

@Blaylock...... kinda stable........ I only had about 2 hours free time last night so what I meant by that I never had a chance to test ram stability. I think that was my last run I did.
 
Try using Aida64 to test ram/NB performance bassnut. Sometimes just adding .02 v to the ram can make all the difference. It's a relay race inside those sticks and if the timing /frequency/volts aren't in sync then someone drops the ball and corrections are made which hurts performance.
