Hello everyone

These are my specs:
Mobo: AsRock Z170 Extreme6
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700k
Storage: Samsung 1TB 850 evo SSD
PSU: Evga Supernova g2 750
Graphics: Onboard HD 530(waiting for the 1080 ti)
RAM: 16GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 mhz(2x8GB) 16-16-16-36.

It would seem one of the two sticks from the kit i got is deffective because i can boot with one stick, but the other doesn't work. I've tested each on every DIMM and it only boots with one. Some people have told me that i have to configure something on the motherboard about XMP but i don't know what since im new to PC building. I've also tried clreaing the CMOS and nothing. Any help is apreciated.

Thanks in advance
