ASUS Z170M-Plus Overclocking: Am I Just Doing It Wrong?

Hi all,

I recently put together the system that is in my signature, and I'm having some issues. When I built the system, it worked fine at stock. However, whenever I try to overclock the system even the slightest bit (I'm talking about moving the multiplier up just a few notches), the system fails to POST.

I did get it working once, though, by overclocking the BCLK, but I could not reliably reproduce this.

Am I just "doing it wrong" (I've never encountered issues like this on other builds and I overclock quite a bit), or might I have a dud board?

Any feedback/help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Super embarrassing, but it turns out my memory wasn't seated properly.

Things working well now. Got this puppy to 4.5GHz :thumbsup:
