Hey guys,
I really need some assistance here. I am a long-time AMD user switched to the Dark Side.
System Specs:
i7 6700K @ stock
GA-Z170X-UD5 w/F3 bios
2x8gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz (CMK16GX4M2B300015 this is on the QVL for my mobo)
GB G1 Gaming GTX 970
Sandisk Extreme Pro 480gb SSD
Seasonic X750
Cryorig R1 Ultimate Cpu Cooler
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Case
Ok so everything works at stock with my RAM at 2133mhz. When i try and run the XMP profile for 3000mhz i cannot boot. Here is a brief list of what i have done:
1. Manually set RAM freq and voltage
2. Bumped VCCIO voltage with XMP and Manual set freq (auto shows 0.96v i bumped in 0.01v increments to 1.000v)
3. Bumped SA voltage with XMP and Manual set freq (auto shows 1.060v and i bumped in 0.01v increments to 1.100v)
4. No other settings were changed, i figured i would ask some experts before going any further.
I read over this skylake overclocking guide as i have never overclocked Intel before. All i want to do is get my RAM working as intended at this point, burn int and get stock settings then worry about overclocking my cpu later on when i have more time to devote to it.
My PhenomII i ran with 1600mhz DDR3 and i had to bump the CPU-NB voltage aka IMC voltage to make my system stable with those RAM speeds. I assumed that VCCIO is the Intel equivalent. How far voltage wise can i go being "safe." Is there any other settings that i need to look at for getting my RAM stable at their XMP profile? I thought XMP was supposed to be essentially EZMODE one click RAM OCing?
Any help/insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
