GGs to all! We made 8th place, not too bad for a small team like ours! Thanks all the contributors, was a fun competition! Now it is time for me to move on to a new HWBOT team. Just found out that @Bastiaan_NL took the same step. Thanks for everything and keep up the good and positive environment here at EHW! All the best and many thanks, looze

Hmm interesting that none worked. Anyway yes, filling all required subs matters most.

Comp has started, first subs in These newer Flare X sticks are pretty good, so seems like limited by CPU or more likely BIOS auto values. From my experience ASUS Z170/Z270 boards have pretty much non-POST auto values when >DDR4 3600 (at least compared to MSI). Did you try adjusting VCCIO/VCCSA? The values from the guide you posted are pretty good, SA can go higher for tighter timings (only for benching!). A starting point to boot something DDR4 >3600 on Sky/Kaby could be: ~1.15-1.25V IO and ~1.35-1.45V SA, that should be good for 3733-4000 even with relatively tight timings. Too high IO is worse Higher SA = tighter timings possible Manually set tCL to like 16 and tCWL(tWL) to tCL-2. Don't forget to loosen tCCD_L to 8 or sometimes need to set tRDWR_xx to the same value as tCL for a safe value to tighten later. Good luck and happy TC!

Thanks for having me! Because of family, kids and house I am more of a casual overclocker but I am happy to contribute here and there something.

Hi all! Came here for hwbot. Cool to see such an active community sharing lots of stuff around HW and overclocking! And sorry for messing up TC already...
