Hey XBass, I am running Bios F6h, which is the latest beta one. Yes I have the memory set at 3600mhz when booting. I once tried setting the memory at 3466mhz, which is the next one down from 3600mhz and it still will not boot up, if I have the cas at 15 and the CR at 1T.

Hi everyone, I'm from Australia and have got a Z170X SOC Force Board and have read through all your posts about your Z170 SOC Force and how you overclocked memory on it. I'm new to overclocking and still learning how to overclock ram. I was wondering if I could please get your help on a problem I'm having. I have the following memory installed : G.Skill Ripjaws V - 16GB (4x4GB) -3600Mhz DDR4 Part No : F4-3600C17Q-16GVK The XMP factory timings are 17-18-18-38-2T - 1.35 volts. For some reason I just can't seem to get the CAS Latency any lower than 16, when I have the Command Rate set at 1T. No matter how much voltage I give it, it just will not train the memory and boot successfully. I have gone as high as 1.9 volt for the DRAM voltage and the DRAM Training Voltage and as high as 1.45volt on both the VCCIO and SA Voltages and it just fails to boot if I have 15 as my CAS in the primary timings and command rate set to 1T. So far when I have overclocked my memory, I have only changed the primary timings and set the command rate to 1T. All the other timings I have left at AUTO for now. What am I missing or doing wrong, that I cannot have my primary CAS at 15 or lower and my command rate at 1T? I have seen so many others have the same G.skill memory at a CAS Latency of like 12 or 13 and their command rate is at 1T. So why doesn't it do it on this board. I am running the latest BIOS of F6h. So far these are the settings I alter in the bios when I overclock memory : Dram Voltage Dram Training Voltage VCCIO Voltage SA Voltage and then the primary timings and the Command Rate. I haven't touched any other secondary or tertiary timings yet. If you could please let me know how I can get my CAS Latency at 15 or lower and still have a Command Rate of 1T, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.
