Great news, 2666! I managed to start up and will keep trying until the issue resurfaces.

I started at 2800 and then tried the next highest, but it stopped working. After resetting to 2800 again, it failed once more. Now the highest I can reach is 2666.

Try removing two RAM modules and see if 2933 or 3000 works.

XMP is a memory overclock setup that consistently surpasses the officially approved speeds of CPUs. On the 8700K, this is evident. Back then, Intel usually stuck to the same "approved" speed regardless of RAM upgrades or improvements in IMC. FTFY. Running four memory sticks is more challenging than two, and results will differ depending on the memory configuration. For identical frequencies, tighter timings tend to be less stable than looser ones. It appears the combination of four 3000MHz sticks was too demanding for that motherboard and CPU setup, especially without additional overclocking adjustments.
