Public Service Announcement: Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1, Corsair DDR4 RAM and XMP
November 20th, 2015
This is totally off topic, but maddening for the handful of people who are having the problem, so, all regular readers, please skip.

If you landed here looking for a solution to the “overclocking failed” error when trying to enable XMP with your Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1 and Corsair DDR4 RAM (in my case, 16GB, 2x8GB, Corsair Vengeance LPX Series, CMK16GX4M2A2666C16, DDR4-2666): Updating the board’s BIOS fixes it.
My board came with BIOS 0901 and enabling XMP caused the overclocking failed error when trying to boot. It would only boot normally with XMP off and the DRAM running at 2133. People on forums are suggesting entering the DRAM timings manually, but I found that just upgrading the BIOS to 1302 made XMP work properly.
So, upgrade the BIOS, enable XMP and restart. That’s it.
