Hi guys,

Recently, i made my own PC for my self... and i wondering how can i overclock some of my part  and turns out i can do some overclocking but getting problems in overclocking the RAM (Memory)... 
Things that i overclock was my processor intel core i5 6600K= from 3.50 Ghz to 4.6 GHz with the voltages of 1.320 Volts...
and now im trying to overclock the memory (Corsair LPX DDR4 2*8Gb 3200MHz) i only got 2400MHz in default settings... So, i've been learning that i can overclock my memory to what the memory advertised (3200MHz) by doing X.M.P...
So the first thing i do was doing the CPU overclock and check if it is stable.... Turns out it is stable (Checking using AIDA 64...)  

And now im trying to overclock my RAM (Memory) by enabling X.M.P. So, when i enable X.M.P it gives me information that i want to put the MHz to 3200... then when i try to boot up (restart to apply the changes) it just BOOT LOOPING.... can anyone let me know what must i do or the problems in this case... i've done CMOS Clear to reset my BIOS but i dont know why it keeps BOOT LOOOOOPING when i enable X.M.P to overclock my memory, the clock timing and others is in Auto mode.

(ive checked the Code of the RAM using CPU-Z and it is 3200MHz model one..)

And wanted to ask some question xD:
1. I am overclocking my CPU but i wanted to know is there any difference in the life span by doing MORE overclocking? 

I mean now i actually using MSI Overclocking Mode and it only overclock the CPU until 4.1GHZ with 1.300Volts ... the thing that i want to ask is is there any difference in lifespan if i overclock until 4.6 GHz with the voltages of 1.320 Volts
AND Is it better to go with the 4.1GHz with 1.3 volts or the 4.6 GHz with 1.320 volts knowing its stability in AIDA 64 was good (The stability test i used is only 10 minutes xD)

2. I dont know should i stop overclock for some times and do it again and stop the overclock again and turn it off again or What i actually should do if i do overclocking?

I mean i do know overclocking will decrease the lifespan of my parts but i dont understand what should i do actually when im overclocking...  Should i stop if im not using it and overclock when i use it or what is the best way to keep the quality of the product (lifespan,etc-)

3.Thanks For the Reply and thanks for the advance... Have a nice Day =) 

-------------------
I got some info if needed lol... So i try to clear cmos that reset my OC of my CPU and i try to only OC the memory... And it works! But when i try to OC my CPU too the same problem like b4 occurred (boot looping).... :/
-------------------

My Specs:
1. CPU= Intel Core i5 6600K
2. Motherboard= MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon
3. CPU Cooler= Cryorig H7
4. Memory= Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz DDR4 2*8Gb
5. Primary HD= Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250Gb
6. Secondary HD= Seagate internal HDD 2Tb
7. VGA= MSI NVIDIA GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G
8. PSU= Seasonic M12ll-520W
9. Case= Cooler Master CM690 III
10. Fans= 5* 120mm Corsair fans + 1*200mm Cooler Master fans
 
Solution
Do you have the latest BIOS? That may be all you need. Else try enabling XMP, select profile 1 then raise the DRAM voltage + 0.05 (perfectly safe ) ;)

As long as you keep thermals under control through active cooling and voltage control the lifespan issue is negligible. CPUs automatically activate thermal throttling by shutting down clocks for short periods of time (nanoseconds) repeatedly when thermal limit is reached to reduce temperature and prevent permanent damage.

If your CPU is stable and temp is OK at a OC then there's no reason to change it and is safe to keep using those settings.

CPU lifespan is counted in decades :)

all i need to do was updating BIOS :) Thanks @Tradesman1
