G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600

Problem: XMP seems to be unstable. It causes my screens to flicker, or my computer just wont turn on, and sometimes BSOD. Without it on, the computer functions normally. I have tested all the sticks with MemTest86 and they came back error free.

I adjusted the DRAM voltage manually to 1.355 and 1.36 and the computer seems to function with flickering if I do this, but at least it turns on.

I did read some stuff about adjust IO, SA, and GT but i still don't know what GT is and don't see it. Here's a picture of what I have options for.

My motherboard is a ASUS Z170 Deluxe with the latest BIOS. Please help me make this stable, its become unbearably frustrating.

They make 4 stick matched set which have guarantees of working together. You may have two sets that just don't like cooperating ....

If you need stable settings for your 2 kits - I would propose go to manufacturer site and search for (in your case) 32GB kit and see what are settings of that kit. Then apply those settings to your two kits of 16GB.

That is how I succeeded running 4 kits of 16GB (gives total of 64GB) instead buying one kit of 64GB (that was insane expensive for DDR3). Maybe try buying them at the same time at the same store which might increase chance they are from the same manufacturing line.

I find the table at the bottom of the page useful.

(I don't know if my experience from past is valid any longer, but, give it a try...)

Manually input the basic settings for the RAM. Try each frequency to see what the highest it can reach, from there you can tweak and try to push higher. But first, we need to determine what the two kits are capable of with general settings.

XMP is for a single kit of RAM, it doesn't just work for anything.

The two memory kits may be the same, and identical specs, but it doesn't mean they can work together at the rated specs. We sell matching kits for optimal results, otherwise we could just offer single sticks and people can purchase as many as they need.
