I had the same issue you are having except I am running a Z170 Gaming K6. I had to manually set VCCIO and VCSSA manually to 1.10 and 1.15 respectively in order to run XMP 3200mhz. This combined with running a specific BIOS (version 2.10). Any other BIOS with the EXACT same settings results in instability. With that being said, if you are running the latest BIOS, try flashing back to an older one. I did this myself after finding that the latest BIOS for my board couldn't handle XMP 3200.

If nothing seems to work then I would consider RMA'ing the board. I highly doubt the CPU's IMC is the issue. Especially for a 'K' series chip, which is designed for overclocking.
