halfcraft Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 When installing, it take forever, and i frequently get blue screens. Can someone tell me the setting i need to put into BIOS to get this thing to run right. I installed windows once and was able to play UT3 but it crashed on me. Also when i go into windows i get blue screens or it just restarts. I really hope my ram is not bad. I did mem test with them and it said it was fine. But im beginning to doubt it. So i just want to know the settings for my mobo/ram/CPU combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfcraft Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 is it possible for me to pay to have it shipped for next week and when i get the new ram ill send the old ram back and then i can be refunded the amount i just paid. The only reason i ask this is, i dont have extra DDR3 lying around and i dont want to have a downed computer for Warhammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfcraft Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 so i got the ram to work but only on auto and the ram freq is not 1600 like stated. The only way i can get it to run is if i do auto. IF i use xmp it crashes and if i put the setting in manually it crashes to a blue screen. So basically these sticks dont work at the advertised speeds that i paid the high price for. what can i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Assuming you've already tried manually setting the timings / voltage, you'll have to RMA them like Ram Guy suggested last week in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfcraft Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 so, what are the voltages i need? All i know is i need 1.9 Voltage for theram. What else do i need with mobo combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfcraft Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Basically, i need the info of what needs to be changed from default to get my ram to run at the stated speed with 1600 and not 1333 I can get it to run stable but the performance is poorer. I just want it to run at the speeds that are stated. Why did i pay $450 for ram that will not run at the stated speed? So provide me with EVERYTHING i need to put in my Asus Rampage Extreme Bios to get these babies to run at 1600 7-7-7-20 while being stable. Thank you in advance.

DerekT Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 If one does not post and the other does post, then you need to RMA the sticks. Are both sticks now posting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I don't think I have to tell you to run Memtest any time you make changes to your memory subsystem, but I will anyway.

cchhat01 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm about to buy myself this same board and memory except to be used with a C2D E8500? Did the above settings work for you halfcraft? You're response will help me make my decision. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfcraft Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 This would be really late. But they did not. So i sold the mobo and sold the ram and bought OCZ. I think it was an asus problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I got rid of my Rampage Extreme. Worst board I ever owned!! I now am running with i7 920 and 1600Mhz with no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
