memory for RIVF?

[Mobsters]

whats good memory for this MB for OC? I currently have [ RipjawsZ ] F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL (4Gx4) set but its not stable at all and hinders all my OC over 4.5ghz...

Is it better to get 2x8gb or 4x4gb or even 4x8gb?

Have you loaded the XMP profile for that kit? It should work quite well at its stock timings and frequency. I assume you are using the latest UEFI build as well.

I am using 3602 bios, and i just tried XMP profile and this time it actually works. I remember trying it when i got this MB and at the time it did not work...but still, 1.4v and CPU LLC ultra high rises voltage to 1.44v for cpu. with that i can run prime95 atleast 7min in blend test. before CPU LLC was high and then it shut off pc after 5mins. So i dont know whats wrong with this one XD

Do you have a fan pointing over the VRM heatsink? If not, do it, the FETs will get hot and throttle or shutdown the board if the temp gets too high. Over 4.5GHz, these CPUs pull a serious amount of current. A hard shutdown, could be over-temp or over-current protection. If that's happening, I'd reduce the OC and Vcore, otherwise the VRM is at risk.

Im on water, all cooling down with water. seems like cpu liked more vcore and less mem voltage.
