Hello everybody!
I recently built my first gaming PC and have started to (attempt to) over clocking everything. I am quite new to the world of overclocking and I am trying to learn the ways.
RAM: GSkill RipJaws 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3-2133 F3-2133C9D-8GXL
MOBO: ASUS Maximus VII Gene mATX
CPU: i7-4790k
I have attempted to use the XMP profile through ASUS's bios to no avail, having it fail every time. I have also attempted at tweaking the RAM clock speed manually through the BIOS as well. Setting my CPU VCore to 1.2 I am only able to overclock the RAM to 1800MHz and anything beyond I am not able to achieve. I am just wondering how to tweak this so I am achieve 2133MHz. Also, I am curious to why the default XMP profiles are not working for me.
Once again, I am new to the ways of overclocking and I do apologize for probably sounding like a complete idiot.
Any help and insight will be greatly appreciated!
