So I have rebuilt my system with a new MSI B350 Tomahawk board and installed the same Kingston memory kits, that I used with Gigabyte's GA-AB350m board.
The problem is I cannot cold-boot the system with dual-channel memory config after long power-off period.
I can only boot a dual-channel configuration if I set AUTO_CLEAR_CMOS in BIOS, when system fails to boot it will promt that CMOS has been reset, so I could load my 3.6Ghz overclocking profile with default memory settings at 2667mhz & 1.2V. Single-channel seems to work good, however I have only tried to boot it after shutting down PC for 1 minute.
After the system has boot with a new profile it will work just fine. I can even reboot it or turn to sleep mode. If I shutdown it for a small period of time it will be able to boot too.
However on startup CPU debug led lights up, and cooler goes 100% RPM. Maybe the CPU does not have enough voltage to boot with 3.6Ghz?
My OC setting are:
CPU clock: 3600mhz
CPU voltage: Auto (1.240V)
CPU NB voltage: Auto (1.067V)
CPU LLC level: 3
CPU NB LLC level: 2
RAM clock: Auto (2667)
RAM voltage: 1.2V (if I set to auto it is going to up it to 1.35V)
RAM timings are on auto.
Also, I have disabled "memory config changed" check in BIOS.
BIOS versions tried: 1.0 -> 1.5 -> 1.3
P.S.: I have seen, that uneven pressure of cooler on CPU pins was able to cause such an issue, and I kinda made such a mistake.
Also when I tried to remove the CPU cooler from the previous build, I managed to removed it with a CPU attached, cause the thermal paste was really sticky.
However it doesn't seem to be the cause, since I can boot my system with CMOS reset and it will work just fine, with dual-channel and stable OC. I can play games and even pass SuperPI 32M.
Update #1:
Tried following fixed voltages:
CPU 1.25V
CPU NB 1.1V
Memory 2.6Ghz 12-13-12-13-27 1.35V
Problem is the same. Stable when boots, reboots, sleeps, etc. Fails at cold boot with CMOS reset
