Usually not an issue, but i can see how not only voltages but also timings would become very touchy at 3200mhz.

    Or maybe there's simply a bad RAM slot?
    I got a little lost in the RAM configs FourOh has tried, FourOh are you using a 4 stick kit now? IMO if its on the QVL and it's not working to a point you're confident they could reproduce the results you're getting I would RMA it. In the land I wished I lived in when a mobo specs say they can run ddr4 in 4 channel any legit ram than meets those specs should work, and when I got to a point where I had to buy more ram thats on the QVL to see if a feature actually works, and it's doesn't, RMA. Sadly this thread has actually made me less a fan of Gigabyte and more a fan of NZXT. Im confident nzxt doesn't make their own products, I'll have to look up who the pump and rad manufacturers really are, but their customer service sounds better than most PC hardware mfgs.
