I am a relative newbie to buidling systems as this is only my second build. I am having major issues getting my memory (32GB [4x8GB]GSkill Ares 1866MHz) to run at the default specifications which is 10-11-10-30. The "default" RAM frequency was 1333MHz when I plugged them into the motherboard and have only been able to get it to run at 1800MHz. When I run the XMP profile (1866MHz with above specifications), the system will not boot. I do not think it's the RAM as it passes memtest and the same thing was occurring to a set of 16GB (4x4GB) GSkill 1600MHz RAM where the system would not boot with standard XMP settings. Interestingly, the times I get on WPrime and hyperPi are actually better with the 16GB of 1600MHz RAM than the 32GB of "1866MHz" RAM. I have gone asked GSkill and they have given me numerous suggestions on tweeks which have not worked. I have the latest BIOS. Again, I am a newbie and apologize if I leave some vital piece of information out.

    Are you running default clocks on your CPU? What is your VTT and VCCSA set to? List some of your voltages you are using. The XMP profile is not working right?

    I have my CPU OC'd to 42GHz. Other than that, everything is set pretty much at default and XMP won't work. Keeps rebooting. I have included a single jpeg with most of my system info. The quality isn't ideal as I had to take photos given no screen capture option.

    Try to increase VTT you need to increase IMC voltage to within 0.005v below it, so 1.1v VTT 
    Bump up the VCCIO and VSA. The IMC prob needs a bit more voltage to 32GB of RAM. 
    What is the last voltage above the red text in red left image?evga.com is blocking the reading. 
     
    The 1600MHz RAM has a lower latency and that is what counts with wPrime & SuperPi.

    Have you tried at least with the cpu @ stock settings? Is your ram with the XMP profilestill  not working in this case??
