XMP and haswell E configurations, along with boosting RAM speeds beyond what the motherboard supports.
You're aware that adjusting the base clock on X99 boards from 100 to 125 can have drawbacks, especially on platforms like Sandy Bridge where it might cause instability. Regarding your memory, you're using 3000mhz but the motherboard only supports up to 2400mhz. You should be able to run at 2400mhz without issues, and you don't necessarily need to lower it to match the base clock if you're targeting higher frequencies. The connection between these points is that enabling XMP affects the base clock, which in turn influences your overclock stability.
What motherboard is it? You need to list specs for someone to be able to help you accurately
I will try since i have haswell-e as well and run with the specs in my signature below.
That ram im sure you can hit 3000 with it but as with ALL overclocking mileage will vary greatly, i have mine set on 3000 with 1.35 volts as we speak so it is possible
If you have concerns about the base clock, keep in mind that most motherboards allow you to adjust nearly all settings manually.
You can fine-tune the speed, clock, and voltage yourself.
I tend to prioritize adjusting the timings and voltage rather than increasing speeds.
What kind of motherboard is this? You need the specifications to assist you properly. I’ll give it a shot, as I also have a Haswell-E model and use its details below. The RAM should definitely support 3000, but keep in mind that overclocking performance will differ. I’ve configured mine at 3000 with 1.35 volts, so that’s feasible. Here’s the board info: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Extreme4/
125 base clock remains unaffected when temperature stays within safe limits and is consistent; perform a stress test using it to check for crashes.
