Hi, first post here and somewhat of n00b so please bare with me!
I bought this board (Extreme6 Z170) a few months ago as part of my first ever build and so far have been extremely happy with it. The only issue I'm having is that I bought the RAM without checking compatibility and ended up getting the RIPJAWS V (F4-3000C15D-16GVRB).
I installed everything and it works but I can only get the memory to work at 2133... Checked compatibility page now and that particular model is not listed. I also noticed this RAM is 1.35V and most of the ones listed there are only 1.2V.
So my question is, Is there anything I can do to get this RAM to reach 3000 or should I just cut my losses and sell it? The reason I want this to operate a little faster is that I will soon have to start editing quite a few videos on this computer and every little bit helps. If I can get this memory to reach 3000 I may even buy 32Gb more to help this further.
Thank you very much!
PS:
Not sure if this is relevant but the rest of my build is:
i7 - 6700K

MSI GTX970"
