Ram in Bios

drop4205
Level 12
Hi all
I have the maximus v formula board and recently swapped out to bios 1903. I am runniing g skill sniper ram 1866 but when I try and get into bios and change it to xmp mode the computer shuts down and turns on for 2 seconds then turns off again. It keeps doing this. I have to manually shut computer off and I get the screen saying bios settings are not right. The sniper rem is xmp rated I thought. Is it an issue with the bios flash I did. I did do a cmos and it didnt help. Any ideas
thanks

No problem my ROG friend. One question,how hard was it for you to set up your ram and overclock your cpu manually?

I would like to add you are stable with 1.26v for 4.7GHz. that drop4205, is outstanding. My 3770k needed 1.55v for 4.7 GHz. I think you might have confirmed something for me by letting me help you overclock your machine. It seems running higher clocked RAM makes the cpu need more voltage.
