Hi guys,
today all of the parts for my new PC arrived, namely an i7 6700k, GTX 980ti STRIX, MSI Z170a Gaming M7, G.Skill TridentZ DDR 3200 4x8GB (quad kit).
My problem is that when I set the RAM on the suggested XMP profile 3200, 1.35V, 16-18-18-38, it reboots, gives me 30 secs of blackscreen, and then comes back up telling me that the OC failed and that it reverted the settings. I also tried lower XMP settings, and the only one working besides 2133 stock is 2400 which I use right now.
I have not found out how I can manually set up the voltage and such, because most of the RAM settings keep locked even in advanced expert (lol) mode. It is kind of annoying that I payed for the high-end RAM where cheaper would have come to the same frequency. I thought that buying sticks specifically made for a certain frequency would definitely work with the XMP profile...
If anyone has an idea on how to solve this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mc
P.S.: I also bought a Corsair H110i GTX aio water thingy, and I connected it with that puny 1 on 3 pin cable to the mobo, as well as the two supplied fans with their 4 pins onto the pump connector, as well as sata power. The lowest RPM they get is like 900, which is kind of loud. Is it reasonable to stick both 4pin fans onto the CPU_FAN header on the mobo, and the pump onto sysfan, to reduce the noise in idle?
