Posted September 5, 20159 yr Hi folks, Sharing is caring right? Z170A Xpower is very strong on mem, at least on Hynix MFR/AFR (no other kit in my hand). Efficiency is right where it should be. First of all (as usual) : - Find the good temp for your mem. I can run -180° on mine but the best temp is -100°, this is where I can achieve 1830MHz 10-15-15-28-278 and 1870MHz 10-16-16-278 - Find the right amount of volt. Mine do not like more than 1.85v Then you can try the set of timings I found, it is not perfect, but seems to be a good base : With these settings and auto RTL/IO I get 44/45 5/5, sometimes 44/46 5/6. I did a quick try at 5Ghz, this is what I got : Full out run (i know my CPU is very bad ) : Feedback is welcome! :celebration: Edited September 5, 20159 yr by Strat
September 5, 20159 yr Author I forgot to mention that part, I edited the first post. With these settings and auto RTL/IO I get 44/45 5/5, sometimes 44/46 5/6.

September 9, 20159 yr I'm sure he will like AFR, I already like mine! Quick aircooling try: Pt1t. Msi seems to have done a great job. Have you got tests using Samsung ics?
September 10, 20159 yr Msi seems to have done a great job. Have you got tests using Samsung ics? Yeah, Toppc validated DDR4-4600 Dual Channel on this board: http://hwbot.org/submission/2939951_toppc_memory_clock_ddr4_sdram_2302.9_mhz Tapakah also tested some G.Skill Ripjaws V (F4-3200C16D-8GVK) recently: +1733 c13 Memtest stable: +1800 c14 Memtest stable: +1866 c15 Memtest stable: Edited September 10, 20159 yr by pepinorang
September 10, 20159 yr I like the MB, thinking about getting one. But I see you are using special bios (T0P) and it does not seem to be available anywhere. Anyone willing to share?
September 10, 20159 yr Author No probs, i will upload it tomorrow. But I think a better one should come out soon.
September 11, 20159 yr No probs, i will upload it tomorrow. But I think a better one should come out soon. Next week indeed
September 11, 20159 yr Thanks!Command center light would be nice as well! Will post a thread with everything needed before end of week, just need to finish some work before.
September 15, 20159 yr My board will arrive today Hope Pepi can share bios and tools soon By the way Strat, no issues overclocking quad kits for you?
September 15, 20159 yr Author No issue at all, but as you can see on Hwbot, 2 dimm on cold is way better than 4 dimm on air (even on cold because of the low overclocking margin).
September 15, 20159 yr You are very fast to reply! I meant about the spd for quad kits giving problem overclocking on z170. Have seen reported that two mems from a quad kit overclocks worse on z170 than four the same mems on x99.
September 15, 20159 yr Author Tapatalk notification I haven't seen that kind of issue. Here is the Command Center Lite : https://www.dropbox.com/s/at5d08vamn95i61/CCL%202.0.0.8.rar?dl=0 But I can't find T.0P bios, you will have to wait for Pepi.

September 21, 20159 yr this motherboard is doing well in overclocking memory? Thread and screenshots are there for you to make your own opinion... Here is some more: 4x4Gb 3866 Memtest with G.Skill memory (Samsung) Edited September 21, 20159 yr by pepinorang
