overclocking failed on deluxe ii

i have the Asus x99 Deluxe ii Mobo, (4) 16gb sticks of Gskill Trident Z 3200mhz ram, Evga 1200w P2 PSU, Intel i7 6900k, EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0, Samsung EVO 950 Pro M.2. I have recently just last night updated the PSU from an 850 watt to an EVGA 1200w P2. This one has the ability to use the 8 pin power and 4 pin power as the previous PSU didnt. Now that i got it all installed last night, for somereason when i booted it only said i had 32gbs of ram when i actually had 64. Got that to read correctly now but my ram is the 3200mhz ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232328 ). Its on the QVL list for Asus so thats good. I think it has something to do with something being overclocked or something but i dont know what. it worked fine before with my 850watt.

I have XMP switch turned on on the Mobo and in the bios i think i switched it to auto or something to get it to actually boot normally. But bios reads it as 2133 not 3200 like it should i think.

Now i also have the Corsair h100i gtx cpu cooler and when i booted my PC it said something about fan speed to low or check fan speed so to fix that i had to go to bios and go to monitor tab and set "CPU Fan Speed" to ignore so i wouldnt get that error and it would boot as well.

Can someone help me with steps to what i need to do to fix these issues. Also if you know of any bios changes that needs to happen for M.2 samsung 950 pro evo that needs to be changed let me know. Its booting and working fine so far but not sure if theres anything that needs to be changed in the bios.

All right great, now you can begin tweaking the voltages again. If you were at least able to boot to windows with your ram at 3200MHz it sounds like you are almost there. Don't be discouraged, this is the fun of learning how to tweak your system and once you got it, you got it.

Give us an update at any time and if you have any more questions just ask.

well actually it wasnt able to boot at 3200mhz for the Ram. This link is what someone on my FB page sent me but havent tried it yet. Ill try it tomorrow and see how it goes.

One thing to keep in mind with OCing is you are playing the silicon lottery. Watch your heat with HW monitor to see what its doing. If you find you are getting too hot its not always just the Vcore. Some chips will OC very well and others wont go much at all above stock. No rhyme or reason to it. Back in the day certain lots were prized as being excellent overclockers. Now its just the luck of the draw.

LOL naaaa you won't go bald.

The article is more for overclocking the cpu and it doesn't show much for the ram but I do see they are using 32GB of 3200MHz cl14 ram and the cpu system agent voltage is at 1.368v.

I was telling you to start out low because I didn't want you to overvolt anything and by working up the voltage slowly you'll find just what it needs to be stable.

Let me see if I can find a guide on how to set up your RAM.

All right

Here is a guide by Chino a member here on the forum it is for the rampage v extreme (X99) and 128GB 2666MHz which you can follow the same for your 64GB 3200MHz kit. You won't have to update the bios.

Let us know if this helps you.
