Is anyone having trouble getting keeping the system stable running using F4-4000C19D-16GTZ Gskill dual channel RAM using the XMP profile 1 settings of Timing 19-21-21-41, it shows on the QVL for this board as being able to run at rated speeds but I was getting BSODs or Overwatch crashes if I kept it at that speed, had to drop back to 2133mhz to keep system stable.  Memtest showed no errors, and all drivers in device manager were updated manually going thru each device.

    Try manually setting all the XMP profile timings while using a lower mem speed such as 3200.  See if you're stable with that.  If so, bump it up to say 3600 and test it out. 
     
    Most likely, trying to run up at speeds that high, you'll need to increase some voltages a bit.  Possibly the dimm voltage itself will need a bump up as well as VSA to name a couple.

    Sounds like your imc isn't strong enough to run 4000 mhz.

    Appreciate the response for sure, I guess i could better explain it as the system itself was stable, but there was a certain program that would crash out until I dropped back the speeds, I did try and kick it up to 3600 today to see if we have any issues, Just had never seen a program itself not work right.  Usually the system isn't stable in my experience. 
     
    When it comes to timings for RAM it seems the BIOS puts the tRCD/tRP timings under the same setting in the BIOS, are these normally the same?

    Not speaking from personal experience, but from the information I've read/seen it's not terribly uncommon to have certain programs crash while the system appears stable with high ram overclocks. Also as stated by @Sajin the IMC has a lot more to do with the ability to run clocks that high than the motherboard.
     
    Good luck with the Overclocking!

    If even one program causes instability, then it's probably close, but not quite totally stable.  You may want to try increasing your Dimm voltage a tick or two.  Say the rated dimm voltage is 1.35v, try 1.36 or 1.37v.  You could also try adding 50mV of VSA voltage.
     
    If that doesn't work, your IMC (as mentioned above) just might not be strong enough for that speed.  Find the highest speed you can run at while stable. ie, 3400, 3600.  What you could do for timings if you can't run at the rated 4000 speed is set the XMP profile, write down all the settings/timings it sets.  Then set your mem speed manually to whatever you can run at and manually set the timings/settings you wrote down earlier.

    Took me a couple of tries over different days, and half a day to finally stabilize 4266MHz on my Micro.  Unfortunately, was not able to get 17-17-17 timings without going over 1.45v on DRAM and 1.25v on VSA/VCCIO.  This kit is stock XMP at 3600-16-16-16-36-2T.
