BIOS fails to boot with new RAM due to CPU voltage problems after overclocking – assistance required!
Hi guys, I'm using an ASRock x99 Extreme 3 with a 5960x OC to 4GHz setup. I recently installed Crucial 4x4GB DDR4 2133 RAM and a G.Skill Ripjaws V 4x16GB DDR4 3000. The monitor isn't receiving any signal, even though everything is auto. I've tried lowering the speed from the old RAM to 2133 before replacing it, but nothing works. I also increased the voltage and changed the B1 stick, resetting the BIOS. Any suggestions?
Another problem is that my 4GHz with auto voltage was showing an average of 1.2V and a consistent multiplier of x100 (though set to auto) on the CPU ID. After resetting the BIOS, I switched back to 4GHz but the voltage kept fluctuating between 1.05V and 0.7V, and the multiplier changed from x100 to x33. I attempted a voltage offset, but it didn't help. If I set a fixed voltage of 1.25V, the BIOS won't even try to boot. Is either the CPU or the motherboard faulty?
Verify if a BIOS update is available, as the 16GB drives are fairly recent and many X99 models lack compatibility. The X99 was released with 8x8GB modules to reach full 64GB capacity. These 16GB drives are mainly intended for Z170 motherboards.
