spent 2 day each for 8 hour for weird oc RvE+5960x+Corsair 2800 make me stress, help

[_RC_]

Hi Friend... i really happy when i build my new system, feel i got a strongest desktop procesor, great x99 motherboard ever.
here is my spec.. Rampage V extreme (1401bios), i7 5960x, corsair vengeance lpx 2800 16gb (4x4), PSU Corsair HX1000watt, Plextor m.2 ssd 256mb (system os), Corsiar cooler H105, VGA Titan x.
this 2 days i try to overclock my system... first i try to set everything default F5 to load optimal setting and i just set xmp to 2800 and boot but result fail (cannot load to windows) trying to xmp 300 also fail, trying to set manual and set ddr to 2800 and 3000 and set both vddr to 1.35 also fail... system will just normal and boot if everything set to auto. i read so many times in this forum and find out if there any user had the same problem like me and i found chino article how to set ram working on 3000 by trying to adjust vcsa one point by pone point also fail.. trrying again set xmp 2800 and 300 ad set vcsa to 1volt 1,1volt and even 1,2volt system also wont boot...
Trying again to try other method to make my system can get higher speed... try eveything in bios default and just set cpu level up to 4gz windows boot normal and very stable.. cpu running at 100x40 and ram still 2133mhz. with this setting i try to set ddr to 2800 and 3000 and set vdimm to 1.35 system wont boot again to windows..
trying to flash same bios again through usb fat32 from easzy flash bios... after new flash bios (1401 again) everything result still the same...
sudenlly i try to swith to bios 2, my bios 2 still the first release version 0603. first time boot with this bios 2 i try to clear cmos and the go to bios and just set xmp 3000 then try to wunning window.. everything normal in windows, ram can running 3000mhz, feel so happy in this moment, cpu in this setting is 125x28 trying benchamark everything normal... then i try again go to bios and set multiplier to 32 hope my proc running 4ghz with 125x32 ans set vcore to 1,25 and set cpu input voltage to 1,85 and syetem also go to windows with normal.. benchmark and playing games for 2 hours still normal..
what happen with my system ? i really want to use new bios so my motherboard get the latest version of bios, but new bios 1401 cannot running xmp 3000 even 2800 on my sytem with bios 1401
trying to downgrade to bios 1302 result is same, trying again with other bios 1103 until version 0706 but my r5e cannot flash with "this is not proper file" result..
one think that i mention from bios 1401 and 0603... with bios 1401 when i try to load xmp 2800 or 3000 result is cannot boot to windows but when i go to bios i see my volt sytem agent is 1.1volt but when i go to bios 2 (0603) and set xmp to 2800 or 3000 system boot normal to windows and i see on bios my volt system agent is just only 0.899volt

and now that make me also confuse and strees is my system that is running 0603 bios with xmp 3000 is running well on windows (benchmark and strees test is ok) but when i turn off my pc and on again it alwast stuck at first boot screen and show that my overclocking failed..
really really make me confuse 😞 😞 😞

You need to be more specific when your system fails to post. What QCODE is shown on the DEBUG LED? And do any of the QLEDs beside the 24 pin power connector remain lit?

Also when i was overclocking with a M.2 hard drive installed in BIOS 1401 if my BCLK was over 100.0 it would fail in the same way... even a small increase such as 100.2 would cause massive issues. I noticed the default setting was 100.2 on my board when i upgraded so i have to make sure i manually set it too 100.0 whenever i flask or reset my BIOS. Just a thought

bclk shouldnt bother the m.2. Im at 125bclk and no issues with the m.2 at all

Hello

Using the 125 strap? If so the M.2 drive sees only 100 BCLK. This is the purpose of the different strap speeds.

sry my bad. I read it the wrong way. Its Monday lol

Sorry chino.. i just sell my corsair lpx 2800 kit to someone on the internet so i cant see any debug code error on my board. I just order a new ram kingstone hyperx predator 16gb kit 2800mhz cl14... hope this ram can make my system running normal at bclk 125. actually i wanna buy ripaw 4 gskil 3000mhz c15 but its so hard to find this memory here in indonesia...

I have same exact problem, but I'm using the X99 Deluxe, i7-5960X, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2800 DDR4 memory, etc. XMP profiles won't work, and the only way I can run a 125 strap is to let my system autotune using the 5 way optimization in AI Suite. Everytime, it sets a 125 strap but the BCLK is always different, but ranges between 125 & 127.5. System will run fine if I use the 5 way optimization or the autotune in the BIOS, but I can't set anything manually and get it to post. It's very frustrating. System will work great, but if I shut it down and try starting it from a cold boot, it says overclock failed. If I press F1 to open the BIOS and then press the reset button on the MB, sometimes it boots up fine. Other times I have to repeat the whole process.

How did that new memory work out for you? Did it fix this problem? By the way, I'm also running an XP941 M.2 drive. Right now it's running with a 125 strap x35, but I'm afraid to shut it down.

I would make sure your motherboard is running the latest BIOS. With the newer BIOS, DRAM overclocking and compatibility have been improved a lot. XMP should work right of the bat normally. What is the exact model of your Vengeance LPX kit?

I'm running 1702 BIOS. Here's the exact description of the memory I'm running, which is now half the price of what I paid for it:

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 2800MHz (PC4-22400) C16
Corsair Part# (CMK16GX4M4A2800C16)
