Hello
My issue is that I have an Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard with an i5 4690K and a Kingston RAM kit rated at 2666MHz OC. However, when I push it to the second XMP setting at 2666, it drops to the AIDA benchmarks. I don’t understand why... Can you assist me in figuring this out? I’ve also uploaded the tests—my first one was at 2400MHz in dual channel and it performed almost perfectly, with a slight increase or decrease of around 2000MB/s after the latest BIOS update (3103). I’ve tried overclocking without XMP, but it didn’t work again. The benchmarks say otherwise. If you can help, I’d really appreciate it.

Attempted manually and with increased voltage?
