Yellowbeard Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 CORSAIR Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D/TR3X3G1600C8D Spec 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24 1.65v XMP Spec QPI voltage= 1.35V Intel X58SO BIOS 3435 FEB 11, 2009 Intel Core i7 965EE CPU and XMP Settings: http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=5246&d=1235593704 Manually Set Timings and Voltage: I have found Command Rate to be stable at 1T (aka 1N on some boards). QPI / Uncore Voltage Override has been stable at 1.15v on this particular CPU. You may need to go as high as 1.35v and this will depend on each individual CPU. http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/attachment.php?attachmentid=5247&stc=1&d=1235593707 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rash Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Won't 1.66v for the memory voltage fry the CPU? That's what Intel states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 No, it's safe. The only reason it hits 1.66v is that the BIOS changes the voltage in even increments, 1.64v, 1.66v, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rash Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thank you very much, Yellowbeard. This is THE thread for me, soon I'll be buying the exact combination of memory/MB you posted here. So the information you posted is very valuable for me. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mblanton66 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Would these settings also work for XMS TR3X6G1600C7 ? I'm also having the reboot issue with this board (lights and fans spin up but not boot, pull power for 10 seconds and it boots fine) and I'm trying to troubleshoot. Thanks in advance.

Not by setting them manually no, the settings are not the same. Try clearing the BIOS, boot to BIOS, and select the XMP profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mblanton66 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks for the quick response. I'm overclocking to 150Mhz, so with the memory multiplier at 12 (XMP profile) that cranks it (to 1800). What I'm running now is the XMP profile but the multiplier knocked down from 12 to 10 (1500Mhz). So the memory should be 'underclocked'. And I'm having the odd behavior at boot. Also, what about the command rate and QPI voltage? Leave them at XMP settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 You may want to try clearing the CMOS, disabling the XMP, and manually setting the memory timings and voltage. Use the XMP timings and voltages for memory and QPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamsillo Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 hello im kinda new ion this thing i7.... i bought a i7 920 and 1 intel dx58os.. and this memory tr3x6g1600c8d g my`memory is running at 1067... shal i fallow this config to set my memory to 1600?? or what??? cuz i read that that config is only to the proc Intel Core i7 965EE CPU,, so what are your recomendation?? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 All you have to do is enable XMP as shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamsillo Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 well i dont know but i think im having some inestability... cuz for example y just re install my win7 ultimate 64b.. last time with my memory running at 1066.. i install office 2007, windown update, cs4 suite, and some other stuff like nero powerdvd all at the same time.. now at my memory running 1600.. i cant install all that at the same time my machine freeze and i have to wait to 1 install finish... is there something i can do or test to check my stability?

Yellowbeard Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Did you try clearing the CMOS and setting the memory to use XMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmitri Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hello Every one, After following the instruction of tweaking the Corsair ram in order to make it run on 1600 instead of 1334mhz, system failed to boot completely without the option of accessing the BIOS, it just starts with black screen and restart and it keep doing the same till i power it off. I did hard reset for the BIOS by removing the battery for an hour and after several reboots attempts system worked again :o: Questions, 1- Can these Rams functions as it intended to? especially with the hardware i have (please see below Hardware) 2- What went wrong? Bios is updated to the last firmware. Profile pre-existed in the BIOS which may indicate that it's supported. Hardware is compatible as far as i know with each other. Mother board clock speed can support more then this speed. So what is the conflict which lead to such issue? and can it damage the hardware if i ever attempted to do this again? :eek: I guess similar problem was reported by other member in this article. Something is wrong, may it be the Video Card since it's using DDR5? Ram: Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D Dominator 6 GB 3 x 2 GB PC3-12800 1600MHz 240-Pin DDR3 Core i7 Memory Kit CPU & MotherBoard: Intel DX58SO Socket LGA1366 Motherboard CPU Bundle - Intel Core i7 965 Quad Core, 3.20GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, Hyperthreading, Extreme Edition Processor Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD4870 X2 2GB DDR5 Dual DVI / TVO PCI-Express Graphics Card Power Supply: CORSAIR 750w TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB 10,000 RPM SATA Bulk/OEM Hard Drive WD3000GLFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
