Testing Rated Speeds
Getting 3600 MHz DIMMs up and running is not that hard with KabyLake CPUs, although it seems some out there might struggle a bit. You should be able to simply enable an XMP profile and have these sticks work; however, I did have to go and boost the voltages to VCCSA and VCCIO before I could find real stability. That's not the fault of these sticks; that's a CPU problem, but one that is nearly always just a matter of playing with voltages a little bit, which should not be a big deal for users who are going to pay the dollars these high-end speeds cost.
