I'm attempting to turn on XMP for G. Skills Ripjaws V series DDR4 3200, but it doesn't work. After setting it in the BIOS and restarting, the process fails. The system is running an i7-6700K OC to 4.5 on a Gigabyte Z170XP-Sli.

If all parts functioned as intended, the system would operate properly. I haven’t heavily modified the Z170 platform for overclocking, but most motherboards should still handle the process by adjusting the clock to boost memory performance too. There are numerous factors that could have been altered during CPU overclocking. I’d consider bringing the CPU back to its original settings and then installing the RAM. If the RAM fails to meet its speed requirements, returning it might be a better option.

Enabling XMP is essentially overclocking the RAM. If you have already overclocked your system, this could push the RAM beyond its capabilities. It's also possible that the combination of your RAM/CPU/Motherboard just can't handle the settings you are trying to apply.

Enabling XMP is like pushing the RAM to its limits. If you've already boosted your system this way, it might exceed its limits. It's also likely that your RAM, CPU, and motherboard together can't manage the settings you're attempting.
