Subject: x99 extreme6 with 6800k ram issues
Posted: 21 Jul 2016 at 3:00am
So I have a huge issue. I have an extreme6 x99 motherboard ( not the 3.1) that was running a 5820k @ 4.4 with 4x8 sticks running at 2666mhz. Its been that way for months and 100% stable even on the current newest bios 3.2 . This week i picked up a 6800k just to play with and was able to overclock to 4.3 completely stable but I am unable to move the ram up past 2100mhz. I tried every slot and even with 1 stick and anything over 2100mhz it crashes on boot or black screens. I have tried 3 different types of ram, DDR4 2400, 2800 and 3200 clocked down to 2100 works great. I have set manual timings used XMP and changed the clock speed back to 2100 and it works fine. but using any speed other than 2100mhz the pc fails on boot. I have also tried everything stock and 2400 still bombs out. I have tried differnt dividers i am really out of ideas. I put the 5820k back in and still overclocks just fine. So its either the bios or the CPU.. any ideas? I have also messed with the voltages and still nothing.
