Hi everyone,
Here is the back story: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=262420
So basically, after the Corsair Dominator's I've bought BSOD'd, I bought Trident Z's and things have been mostly peachy later on, Trident Z's work flawlessly at SPD/2133MHZ speeds + no memtest issues (at this point I consider this a victory)
Before I dive into technical issues, let me make a simple suggestion for the Trident Z line: make sure the aluminium heatsink covers as much SMD components as it can, I had a broken capacitor on the first pair of Trident Z's I got, don't know whether I broke it or it was there when I got it
Anyway, although the Trident Z's are flawless at SPD, I can't achieve XMP with MSI Z170I Gaming Pro AC, at XMP, the system shuts down shortly after Prime95 is launched, while all temps are at cool levels
Without XMP, I didn't have any issues, ran Prime95+Furmark for 1-2 hours too, nothing, regular usage/gaming, no issues, that's why I'm hoping this is a BIOS issue, rather than a weak CPU or weak Motherboard
Any ideas?
(The Motherboard is in the QVL list of the exact RAM I have: http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3000c15d-16gtzb)
