My brother's system won't boot correctly with 4 sticks on XMP.

It will with 2 (one kit) and both kits work by themselves with XMP.
Works fine on 4 sticks without XMP (DDR3-1600)
RAM: Patriot Viper 3 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model PV316G186C0K
Motherboard: GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 2.x) Yes, it supports 32 GB.
Oh, and he's ~2000 miles away from me.
Is this a case of it most likely needing a bit more voltage?
Edit: Is there a guide for how to do adjust these different voltages? Patriot has advised to push the RAM to 1.65v, but will just pushing the RAM voltages provide a stable system?
Edit #2: No OC's involved, just want to run the RAM at it's rated speed.
