I have a EVGA Z170 FTW motherboard. I paired it with a CMD16GX4M2B3000C15 kit because pcpartpicker seemed to imply
that it would be compatible. I update the BIOS to 1.08 and went back to default clocks. I've tried using XMP and not. Weirdly, XMP gets the voltage wrong
so I set it to 1.35v. My box always boots, I don't have that error code problem. The problem is, under gaming load within 10-20 minutes, I'll blue screen
with IRQ_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUALS or a Memory Management Error.
The memory is 3000mhz Timing: 15-15-15-36 CAS:15 1.35v Non-ECC
I switched back to my old RAM which is 2133mhz and that's been fine for weeks. I've tried running at different mhz ranges. I can't get it to be stable. I'm going to run memtest86 this weekend and see what happens. I don't think I can RMA my RAM to newegg at this point but I was wondering if there is Corsair Dominator parts in the 3000mhz to 3200mhz range that is known to work with the Evga Z170 FTW board.
I'd like to stay in the 8gb stick density if possible. Maybe that's the issue? I see lots of 4gb sticks passing the QC checks in the RAM compatibility test.
