Hi all!
I recently installed a skylake PC and encountered issues with my memory at 2666MHz. I adjusted the XMP setting to 2666 but still face a black screen after restarting. The system displays an ASUS error saying "overclock failed." When I lowered the frequency, it wouldn't boot unless set to auto, which is 2133MHz. My BIOS version is 1702. Am I making a mistake or is something wrong with the memory or motherboard?

What processor is being used? It may require some overclocking for 2666, or adjusting the voltage on the DRAM or memory controller (perhaps around +0.05).
