Hello everyone, i have a z270e which i even updated to the latest bios from 0906 to 1203 today but still nothing. I have a i5 7600k and the ram i have is corsair vengeance lpx 2x4 and 2x8 2666mhz. I can manage a manual overclock to 3000mhz but anything past that and my computer fails to boot? Any suggestions?
Need help on ram manual overclock please (not xmp method)

Oh I know RAM frequency helps a lot in some games. It doesn't seem pointless at all to me. But if you've hit a wall, then you've hit a wall, you can't overclock infinitely by magic.
Perhaps try an enthusiast overclocking forum. From what I've seen, this forum doesn't have much in the way of that knowledge. When asking for advice it will help them to help you if you say what exactly you've done to OC so far. What timings, voltage, etc you've set, what you've done to BCLK, or whatever.

There's no "guaranteed" overclock (beyond the XMP profile). I'm not sure exactly what limits how far beyond you can push waht it's rated to, CPU, mobo, maybe the individual kit of RAM you have.
With CPU's each and every chip can be a little different. GPUs too. Assume it's the same with RAM.
It could be that some RAM can be fairly easily OCed to the next XMP profile up from the one it's sold at by just adjusting the frequency and timings - perhaps this applies to yours. I heard my old RAM was overclockable in this way but couldn't get it to work.

It's possible. But no guarantees.
If you want to get into RAM overclocking I'd honestly suggest another forum - not to shoo you out of this one(!) but because it's quite niche and I think you'd get a lot more expertise on a dedicated overclocking forum. Maybe http://www.overclock.net/
