Hi all,
I recently upgraded my RAM and am struggling to reach the default speed of 2133mhz with XMP1. I’m new to XMP and overclocking, so here’s what happened: in the BIOS I set XMP1, adjusted the speed in the dropdown, chose 2133MHZ, pressed F10 to save changes, and the PC shut down before coming back on, reporting an overclocking issue. When I changed the speed to 1600Mhz, it accepted and booted into Windows. I was advised to change voltages, but anyone help would be appreciated.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68P-DS3 (Rev 1.0)
CPU: i5-2500k
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 2133MHz (PC3-17000), 240 pins with timings of CL10 at 1.6V. (F3-2133C10Q-32GXM)
BIOS: F9

A helpful resource is available:
The key is to boost multipliers and voltage slightly whenever needed and check stability consistently.
