So I made a thread here the other day: http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=14029
The long story short - my PC wouldn't boot with the XMP enabled, even when manually settings the DRAM voltage to 1.35v.
So anyway, I read about changing the above voltages (IO and SA) to around 1.1/1.2 for 3200Mhz DIMM's. However, before doing so, I noticed that the 'auto' values that the XMP was loading were quite high, at around 1.28v and 1.25v respectively. So I lowered them both to 1.1v and enabled XMP - which was a success.
I'm unsure of what 'safe' values are for these, as I want to overclock my CPU as well and am not sure what values would be ideal for both the RAM and CPU bump.
I currently put my CPU (i5-6600K) at 4.5Ghz on the 'auto' setting (I am going to tinker with this soon, as I am still new to overclocking); with XMP enabled and DRAM voltage at 1.35v - with the IO and SA values at 1.1v.
My system is busy running Prime95 as I want to check for stability.
Any other advice?
