dceremuga Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Can anyone at Corsair or on the boards please give me some pointers/help. The support through the ticketing is uselsss. I've been going back and forth with support through the ticketing but he has been no help, with responses like: Comment Created By: Technical Support Rep (2/8/2017 11:18 AM) Again, there are no manual settings specific to the kit, you would have to change them to see what works for you. Created By: David(2/8/2017 11:14 AM) Well help then. I need the full specs for the ram to manually plug into the bios to run at 3000. timings, voltages. Created By: Technical Support Rep (2/8/2017 10:53 AM) It definitely shouldn't have an issue with it. Created By: David (2/8/2017 10:22 AM) It ONLY hangs when XMP is used. I need to know if this memory will work XMP or not with this board. If not I will return for a cheaper set. Created By: Technical Support Rep (2/8/2017 10:18 AM) If the computer does hang, a replacement would be best. Created By: David (2/8/2017 10:06 AM) Bios version 3007 dated 11/29/19. I've noticed on your support forums that a lot of people are having problems with XMP settings on Z170 boards, but some have success by manually putting in the XMS profile. Also the memory passes memtest running 4 hours at the slower default setting of 2133. Created By: Technical Support Rep (2/8/2017 9:52 AM) There are no specific manual settings, unfortunately. Which bios version do you have installed? Can anyone at Corsair or on the boards please give me some pointers/help. The support through the ticketing is uselsss.

dceremuga Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hate to bump this, but nobody at Corsair can help? Can't even give me the XMP specs I can manually put into my bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 You can get the original XMP timings for your kit from Aida64 > Motherboard > SPD. Edit: If those don't work, you can try my settings: CL16 CL15 Keep command rate at 2T until your first stability tests passed successfully. These timings are still @ AUTO mostly, i just manually set a few of the problematic ones. Since you did not state the actual model number of your kit, if it is a 2x16GB or 2x8GB single sided variant, you probably need to raise/double the tRFC (my kit was CMK16GX4M4A2800C16, so 4x4GB). For voltage start with a Vdimm of 1.35V, then try lower if fully stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dceremuga Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 My god, some help, thank you! My kit is 2x8 CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 I looked inside the bottom of the heat spreaders, they are double sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Try manual setting the XMP timings first. On a Z170-A you might also have to manually adjust VCCSA and VCCIO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dceremuga Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Do you have a recommendation on the voltages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 My 6700K an M8G could do DDR4-3000 with VCCSA 1.096V and VCCIO 1.040V, but what is actually needed varies from one CPU to another and the MB also plays a role in that. From Rajas statement here, you will probably need a bit more VCCSA and/or VCCIO because of your "mainstream" board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I love how before it was released, it wasn't so "mainstream". *groan* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
