    Beta BIOS is common, I have been running them on my mainboards for years without a problem.

    Can you check if your modules are GPR48GB2400C15DC ? (the correct number is really important !)
    http://www.geil.com.tw/products/showSpec/id/529
    If I know the correct model, it would make it easier.
    The GEIL Potenza 2400 series have moved to 16-16-16 and I think your ones are 15-15-15
    I do not know if you can order at Newegg but I do not find the above in stock in Australia.

    Here is one possibility in AUS

    Nice PC !
    Well there you go, the memory price has doubled.
    This was the info I was looking for :
    GeIL 8GB Kit (2x4GB) GPR48GB2400C15DC DDR4 C15 2400MHz
    The links above should bring you to both an 8GB set or 16GB set, this will give you 4 slots running Dual Channel and a lot more stability. (but double check the number GPR48GB2400C15DC (2x4GB) or GPR416GB2400C15DC (2x8GB) before ordering !)
    The v7.32 BIOS update is for both Skylake (6600k) and Kaby Lake (7700k).
    Before installing the new memory, a good idea will be to reset the BIOS to Default after removing the Apacer before placing the new memory.

    I pulled the Apacer out and got a heaps smoother run in rF2 VR , WOW , like a babies bum ,lol
    So i decided to say Fu## it and just OC more .
    I put 4.7 on my 6600k so mow it is at 1.328 and 72C and put the RAM to 2533 lol
    Here's the result
    UserBenchmarks: Game 132%, Desk 94%, Work 65%
    CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K - 111.3%
    GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti - 174.3%
    SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB - 57.8%
    HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 78.7%
    HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 84.2%
    RAM: Unknown CL15-15-15 D4-2400 2x4GB - 86.5%
    MBD: Asrock Z170 Extreme4

    I'm going to push the RAM further and go for 2666 !
    What do you think ?
    Thanks heaps for all your help ! I will look into trying to get 2 of those 4GB Dimms , that'll save me some $ but until then i will enjoy rF2 now a whole lot more , its actually playable and with only 8GB Ram .
    I didnt do this UserBench before starting to OC the RAM but it was already an improvement , i could feel it as soon as i loaded rF2 .
    I'm going to now try a few other games and see just how stable my OC is .
    Thanks again my Friends .
