Hey All,

I'm a first time builder and i'm pretty confused on what is ok in terms of Ram OC as well as what is compatible with my hardware.

My system is:

CPU: Intel i7 4930K 3.4GHz LGA2011 130W
Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Black Edition
RAM: 2x4 Corsair Vengeance Pro (32Gb total - 4 sticks)
Video: GigaByte 780 ti GHz edition
PSU: V850 Gold modular Cooler master

Since I'm just learning this stuff I'm curious to whats acceptable with what RAM and how much of it I can use. The mobo has a 64Gb limit on max ram but when I put everything together it under clocked my ram to a lower freq, and voltage. So I changed the Latency, Freq, and voltage to what is advertised on the RAM within my BIOS. I've had no problems and everything has been running fine but I just want to be sure I'm not doing anything wrong or something I should be doing.
Within my BIOS I changed it to:
LAT: 11, 13, 13, 31
Freq: 2400
Volt: 1.650V

When I was on ASUS's website looking for a chipset driver "because Win 8.1 keeps telling me I dont have one..." I came across the DDR3 2400 Qualified Vendors List (QVL) and I didnt see anywhere on that list that gives the ok to use 32Gb of Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8 (4 sticks) in my system.

I guess my question is...Am I doing everything right in terms of setting my ram to what was advertised? Is there something I should be aware of? Should I downgrade?? Ugh.. sorry for all the newbie questions

Did you enable XMP profiles in the bios?

XMP Profiles? I don't recall messing with anything labeled XMP, unless it was already enabled when I adjusted the Freq/Lat/Volt of my ram.

In the BIOS look for RAM settings or something to that effect and there should be an option for XMP (prob on auto or manual right now) enable XMP and select profile 1
