I have seen other reports of this happening with specific RAM in the Gigabyte Master. A workaround that has helped some is to clear CMOS, turn off XMP, and manually set the few timings specified by XMP. I haven't used XMP for some years myself.
Another issue with the Gigabyte and memory overclocking is it ignores your input for the IOL/RTL timings and sets them way too conservatively and inconsistently. With the Asus, it applies what you set and fails to train and boot if they are bad. But you have control like an OC motherboard should let you. What you end up having to do with the Gigabyte is turn on training, restart until it trains to some reasonable IOL/RTL values, then turn off training so it sticks,But I don't get me wrong, I do think the Master board is a good bargain and the hardware is quality and am pretty happy. with it for now. With an 8086k, HT disabled 4 core/4 thread @ 5.2 GHz it bests a stock 9900k in photoshop.
