difficulty locating consistent configurations for gigabyte boards
Hi,
I'm facing issues with consistent settings on the Gigabyte board Z97X-UD3H using an Intel i7 4790K and Corsair 2400mhz RAM. The RAM doesn't stay stable above 1600, and I can't overclock the CPU when the memory is overclocked. When the memory is stock, the CPU reaches a stable 4.7. I've tried adjusting system and RAM voltages without success. Thanks.
full build?
can you provide the exact part number for the RAM?
it's best to overclock the CPU first, then the RAM. But at the stock frequency on the CPU, the RAM should run much faster—are you using XMP profiles or manually adjusting the speed at the default CPU frequency?
Update: your CPU's default maximum RAM speed is 1600 at 1.5 volts, so even if the motherboard supports higher speeds, the CPU memory controller might not support them. It seems a boost to around 2400 MHz is unlikely, though maybe between 17-1800 MHz could work.

Update: your CPU's default maximum RAM speed is 1600 at 1.5 volts, so even if the motherboard supports higher speeds, the CPU memory controller won't necessarily support them. It might be possible to get some overclocking from it, but I think 2400 MHz is well beyond its limit—maybe between 17 and 1800 MHz would be more realistic.
I can reach 2400 ram when the cpu has full stock with a slight adjustment to system agent voltage.
