Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200MHZ RAM & 5930k Problems!

[A1337]

Hi guys,

So I initially had a 5820k and 32GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum which were rated at 3200mhz, after a very long time of trying to overclock and enable XMP profile to work. I managed to get maximum 4.3ghz on cpu at 1.3v and 2666mhz on the ram with XMP on. Is this normal?

I've recently upgraded to the 5930k and I've found that I'm able to get 4.5ghz at 1.25 and max 2800mhz on the ram before it gives me boot issues and doesn't post. The ram is rated at 3200mhz using XMP, however I cannot post with this enabled and it gives me problems, so my question is will I be able to achieve 3200mhz at all and how exactly? Or is it a case of the actual processor and the memory controller within it being weak? Will the 5960x allow me to have 3200mhz as it's better? Shouldn't the RAM work at 3200mhz if its rated at that on the box?

Or is it a case of silicone lottery between the CPUs?

Also the bios i'm using is the latest 3501 and motherboard is rampage V extreme.

Hope you guys can help.

Thank you! 🙂

Yeah this is how I found out a bout it. I read the manual looking for an answer, who ever reads the manual tho? 🙂

Now that the system is able to POST be sure to test stability with the appropriate stress tests.

Because of that choose little slower kit.
For me, for now 2666 is OK.

I like to see Dominator Platinum memory, I had and DDR3 and now DDR4.
Special Edition is perfect, CORSAIR DP Blackout my favorite DDR4 kit on market, it;s not only for 100 Series Chipset.
CORSAIR launch Dual Channel for 100 Series and Quad Channel for X99. But Dual Channel will work and on Z270.
Great and rear kits, if someone have chance It's not wasting of money.
Really bad because CORSAIR didn;t had them when I searched for DDR4, I would bought CMD32GX4M4C3200C14M Quad Blackout without thinking.

In perfect condition he should work on X99 on 3200MHz with 14-14-14 1T latency.
I can bet they will fit even on AMD AM4 X370.

And so good kit I would move on all platforms with DDR4.
Manual tweaking, don't even need necessary to be overclocked constantly, lower timmings and no problems.
Improvement is similar.
