Stability of xmp profiles in ddr4 has been taken lightly i think.Articles that can give insight on this issue are needed.Any reliable information regarding what motherboards are actually stable using ddr4 xmp profiles of 2666mhz or more ?Looking for a proper motherboard for an i7 5930k that will be problems free running ddr4 at 2666 xmp profile 24/7
ps: if i understand correctly ddr4 runs at 2666 as 10 x 1.33 x 100MHz without changing BLCK strap ,does this mean that 2666 is safe and stable without causing issues ?
 
Solution
The motherboard is not the issue. The memory controller is on the CPU. It is rated for 2133 max. You are trying to run it significantly higher. If it doesn't work you'll have to adjust your timings/speed
