My first post here, and I'm not the usual uneducated guy who doesn't read anything etc.
I'm just seeing if there is something glaring that I am missing.
First up, this is a build from 2013, which was built into a Mac Pro 2010 case, so I had to do quick a bit of modding to the case and internals. Since that build, most of the hardware has been moved into an In Win 805 tempered glass case.
I've recently upgraded the GPU from a Gigabyte Windforce GTX780 OC 3GB, to an Asus Strix GTX 1060 OC 6GB.
I'm running the XMP profile in the bios, with boost speed of the CPU at 4.6GHz, the RAM is running at 1600.
I usually run macOS (Sierra 10.12.4 at the moment), and dual boot to Windows 10 Pro for gaming.
I've played around with overclocking, and really need to start looking at manual overclocking, and not using the XMP profile etc.
My main issue is overclocking the RAM (32GB of Corsair Vengeance). It's running at 1600MHz currently, but when I change it to anything above that, my system won't boot. I have either reboot or clear the CMOS (easy with the button at the back on my Asus Maximus Gene V mobo).
What could be causing this to happen? I've tried it years ago when I got the board, and a few times in between. I've also tried it last night, all with the same result.
In general, I would like to see how far I can push it, whilst keeping it stable. I have good CPU cooling; my original build had the Noctua DH-14, then I had a AIO liquid cooler (which was great, except when it leaked all over my GPU. At least no permanent damage was caused), now I have a Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK which is very similar to the Noctua.
I'm running quite a few fans in there, and never have any operating issues. My GPU is new, and runs a lot cooler compared to the old 780.
Any tips or advice about my RAM overclocking would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
