Hello, I'm just starting with overclocking. The motherboard is Gigabyte P55 USB 3.0 and supports 4x4GB DDR3 @2200mhz 1.5v. I already have 4x4GB RAM at 2133mhz 1.6v, but the PC beeps for a while before restarting. If I try to run it at 2133 mhz and enable XMP, I want to be able to use XMP as well as reach the highest possible overclocked speed without damaging the system. What BIOS settings should I adjust? I need all the specific details available. Also, please share exactly what values to set. I have links to everything I've gathered.
