How to overlay your RAM - instructions on the process.
You're asking how to adjust your RAM speed using an XMP profile on your Z170 motherboard. That's a valid approach if you want to push your RAM closer to its rated speed without needing extra cooling. I can provide you with a guide on the process. Also, regarding your assumption about stable speeds without special cooling, it's generally correct for compatible setups.
Running at a Ram speed surpassing your CPU's intended capabilities is possible, though no standard CPU exists for 3000mhz memory. You're pushing the CPU memory controller to its limits. This approach offers minimal real gains but may harm the longevity of your CPU's memory controller. If you're willing to take risks, someone might suggest ways to further stress your CPU. Good luck!

4Ryan6: You are already running Ram speed higher than your CPU was designed for! There is no CPU on the market designed to run 3000mhz memory speed your motherboard may allow it, but you are overclocking the CPU memory controller to run those speeds. The raw performance benefit of running higher memory speeds is negligible but could be detrimentally affecting the life of your CPUs memory controller, but it is your money after all, so if you are determined to throw caution to the wind I am sure someone will come along and advise you how to accelerate the destruction of your CPU. Good Luck! Great way to exaggerate but thanks for the answer nonetheless.
