there are strange overclock problems with the x99a gaming pro carbon
I accidentally selected the wrong category initially, so this is essentially a repost.
My setup includes an X99a Gaming Pro Carbon from MSI, featuring a 6950x processor and 32GB of GSKILL Tridenz RGB RAM at 2400 and 3000MHz with XMP enabled.
The issue I face is that I can only overclock one component. When XMP is turned on for the RAM, I’m limited to a maximum of 3.5GHz for the CPU.
However, when the RAM runs at stock speed without XMP, I can successfully overclock it to 4.3GHz @1.27V without any problems—I’ve stress-tested this setting.
I also attempted GameBoost 2, which reached up to 3.7GHz for the 6950x directly from the motherboard. The motherboard didn’t perform well; it even attempted to damage my CPU and RAM, possibly because it was trying to push it to 4.6/4.7GHz @1.45V.
My motherboard version is 1.3.
Here’s a link for GameBoost 2 with XMP enabled: https://gyazo.com/bcac2d40e27d1c07a95f4b521fbfc41e
I’m hoping you can assist me with this problem.

Patriek : I own an X99a Gaming Pro Carbon from MSI with a 6950x and 32GB GSKILL Tridenz RGB RAM at 2400 and 3000MHz when XMP is enabled.
My current challenge is that I can only overclock one component. When I turn on XMP for the RAM, I can't push the CPU beyond 3.5GHz.
However, if the RAM runs at stock speed without XMP, I can successfully overclock it to 4.3GHz @1.27V without any issues.
I also experimented with GameBoost 2 = 3.7GHz for the 6950x from the MSI motherboard. The motherboard failed to perform its role—it even attempted to damage my CPU and RAM, trying to reach 4.6/4.7GHz @1.45V.
My motherboard version is 1.3.
