Running Ram at 2600mhz on a Rampage IV extreme and x3960

Hi All,

Been overclocking with this board for about 1 year now, Read all the guides etc, but im just confused why i cant get the board to boot at 2600mhz.

I have used xmp settings, tried entering them manually, Followed the guide written by Arne, Know Raja guide as i have read it about 10 times.

Only thing i have not tried is booting 1 stick, but the ram runs at 2400mhz cas9 with no problems, im using this quad channel kit http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-2600c10q-16gtxd

Im about to update the bios to the latest bios as i have been using bios 3504, i think that might be the problem.

The cpu can do 5ghz prime stable at 1.475v, but i have been using 4.9 1.415v, and only needs 1.175 vcca to run cas9 2400mhz, So i really dont get it, it cant be the IMC? or is it?

No matter what settings i use i cant get the board to boot at 2600mhz, i have tried everything, read every guide.

My last h ope would be a bios update, if that does not work, i think i will be selling these off and putting in my 8x2gb hypers back in which can run at cas7 2000mhz

7/2000 * 2000 = 7nano secs for the hypers and for hte g.skill at cas9 2400mhz its 9/2400 * 2000 = 7.5nano they are about the same, but for some reason i get better performance with the hypers when it comes to BF4, less FPS dips, i think it might be due to all the 8 sticks being installed compare to 4 sticks, Hence why its hard to run 8 sticks compared to four, more load on the IMC, meaning more performance.

Some input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all in advance.

Hello Arne,
I used the program Rammonitor you sent me, but I do not understand how do you see that item in the brand of chips used by Corsair ... you can understand it?
In every case my actual timings are not very different from the timings Samsung that you show me before:
9-11-10-27-1T / 4-96-9-4-20-4-8 /0-0-0-0-3-3-1-1-3-0 ...wtat doyou tink about?

Well it might depend on the exact kit but you can often see exactly who makes the ICs
