Your ram is : DDR4-3200 MHz  which is the rated speed for them.

 

Your System is Auto Lowering them to 2133 to be compatible to the max ram speed of the Chip.

 

(this may explain why the Voltage was set down to 1.2v)  You can get them manually to run @3200 but.....

 

EDIT : it is the pitfall that happens when not research the ram speed for the chip. Happens to everyone (including me).

Bad silicon lottery would explain what you're seeing. You might want to try creating custom XMP profiles and see how far you can push your RAM before it becomes unstable?

Yeah - had the same train of thought - I experimented with dropping the speed down from 3200 to 3133mhz, keeping the timings intact and voltage @ 1.35V and running Testmem5 twice again. No failures this time.

Hey thanks for the insight - I had considered this prior to making this post, but apparently my CPU is rated to run RAM @3200mhz max, and the board is rated up to 4400mhz - from what I could determine it is just the non xmp (overclocked) profile activated by default for the sake of stability

 

Btw - thanks to you both for taking the time to respond to these posts. Really appreciate the assistance + expertise!
