Corsair Vengeance LP 1600 C8 - blue screen/fails memory test with XMP enabled

Hi,

 

Just bought a 16gb kit of Corsair Vengeance LP 1600 C8 turned on XMP and I get bluescreens and it fails prime immediately. (System ran perfectly up to 4.5ghz with previous memory) Faulty Kit?

hi

 

U can't enable XMP profile and overclock cpu at the same time

wend enable XMP memory run at 1600MHz 8-8-8-24

But if u overclock cpu Memory will oveclock at the same time and it will go over 1600MHz.

Run Vengeance LP 1600 C8 at more then 1600MHz with a latancy ove 8-8-8-24 is a lot ove overclock and won't be stable.

 

U ave to manuely set memory if y want to OC cpu

My advise, set XMP profile then set it to manuel and just change memory speed to 1066 MHz or 1333MHz with same latacy ove XMP. Then u could OC cpu up to wend memory will run around 1600MHz. This way your system sould be stable

 

hope this help

sincerly yours

Sorry should have been more specific, It does this at stock CPU, I just meant that the system was very stable before putting the new memory in, even at a 4.5Ghz clock.

ok then u ave to test all stick ove memory

But before check bios if it up to date as it Improve system stability and memory compatibility

To test memory intall only one memory modual and test if u got bluescreens

If only one modual give u bluescreens then it defect.

U could run memtest to see if memory modual give u error.

 

Hope this help

sincerly yours

Thanks for the advice,

 

I do have the latest BIOS so not that unfortunately. Haven't had a chance to individually test yet but it does fail mem tests and benchmarks. Prime95 fails almost immediately.
