Hi,
BCLK screws everything up

You might try different C rating memory timings
Hynix or samsung depending on what you have just search for a higher frequency c rating
Example 14-14-14 3200 or 16-16-16 3600 for samsung b-dies
Hynix would be obviously different 16-18-18 3200....

C like in Cl (Cas latency) ? For same frequency lower it is, better performance. Samsung b-die seems to be best there is but it's actually IMC in the CPU that may limit the OC for RAM. It also depends on controller in the RAM.

Hi,
Yes
Mother board mostly
x99 runs samsumg memory at 3200C14
It won't run very well micron at 2666C15 much at all or hynix 3200C16 at all, won't even post actually lol

You might want to look at your memory with Download Thaiphoon Burner 14.1.2.0 build 0920 / 15.0.0.0 build 1126 / 15.0.0.0 build 1129 RC1 it's quite detailed and comprehensive.

I have had Thaiphoon for quite a while too:

But understanding really the out put?

I have Samsung single sided B-Die?

Yes you do, single rank too. Look at XMP down at the bottom.

The IMC is always a massive factor in what you can do with your ram in terms of OCing it.

I don't think you will find much of an argument anywhere that Samsung BDie is the best right now.

Not sure what you have going on Cliff but changing Current Capability should have no effect on your ram at all. Just allows for more headroom to OC.

It might be that damn AURA sync.
I have seen that even when I shut it off in Windows and in BIOS, while making changes in BIOS to my OC settings, and they fail to fully boot, the RAM RGB comes back on.

That usually means I then need to load a known good profile, boot back into windows, turn on AURA and turn it back off, to turn off the RAM RGB... again!

I love the look of the bling, but if I ever buy RAM again---- NO ?%&Qing RGB!

And?
It says I have one profile and no extreme, and the XMP settings.
