Asrock z170m-itx/ac updated bios to v2.60, reset bios to default.
raijintek 0P105246 - Raijintek Aidos Direct Contact CPU Cooler (also tried a Corsair h45 AIO Rad cooler)
G.SKILL TridentZ Series F4-3200C16D-16GTZB 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 3200MHz C16 1.35V Memory Kit
Corsair CP-9020096-UK VS Series VS450 ATX/EPS 80 PLUS 450 W
i5-6600k
At default bios settings with no XMP I can boot to windows and run prime95 v28.9 at 3900Mhz (Intel turbo boost) and it is stable at 3900Mhz turbo boost all day long.
The second I set XMP and 3200Mhz I can boot to windows and run prime95 v28.9 3900mhz for only 20 seconds before it drops back to 3500Mhz for 24 hours.
Max temp of any core is 75W and the cores bounce around the 68c mark.
Tested writh XMP turned on at all speeds and the same happens?
Someone suggested I try increasing the memory of the RAM. Is this a good idea? What do you suggest I do next? Edited by bertybassett - 4 minutes ago at 8:37pm
