Already opened a thread on another doubt i had. My HyperX Beast (2x8gb) 2400 mhz won't boot when xmp 2400 mhz is loaded and gave me a bsod when setted 2133 mhz xmp. Only at 1600 mhz they seem to be fine (no problems at all in the last few weeks). Got a gigabyte gaming 5 as mobo, intel i7 4790k with no overclock evga supernova 850 g2 and a gigabyte 980 ti. Also Memtest did not evidentiate any problem with those 2 sticks.
I thank you right now for your eventual help!

Try a slight OC on the CPU, many 4790Ks can't carry 2400 sticks while at stock, most can carry 2133 and a few 2400, but most need the small CPU OC....you can try going just with the MC voltage increase also but that can tend to build more CPU heat than a simple slight OC to 4.1 or 4.2

Intel CPU's either natively support either the 1600 or 1866 speeds so anything over this is Overclocking the memory controller. Because of this you will need to add some voltage to the mem-controller in the BIOS. Since I have not played with the BIOS for an Intel in a gen or two I can not tell you what they are calling the Memory Controller voltage so you will have to google it but this should cure the issue.

EDIT: BTW when overclocking nothing is guaranteed so it is possible you may not hit the 2400 but most do. Just wanted you to be fore warned.
