MacKGtiR Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 hi, Just bought a few bits and built myself a system. When I was setting up i noticed i can not set the ram to its default speed of 1866mhz i could only set it to 1600mhz XMP without blue screening before windows boot things i have tried is setting XMP to profile1 SPD multi to auto, no success tried SPDx12 i think which put it at 1866mhz and still blue screens. then found that only the 10xSPD = 1600Mhz works I have tried setting it manually 9-9-9-24/1.66volts cos it wont give you the option of 1.65volts tried setting my cpu to default and set the spd to 12 which = 1600mhz then tried x14spd = 1866mhz multi and then blue screens, i have tried it several ways like QPI/vtt, 1.415 and 1.65 instead of auto on both. SPD 1600Mhz = ok and then 1866Mhz blue screens Is there anything else i may of missed that might be causing a conflict or have not setup right to get it to sit at default 1866mhz http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4952/97689409.jpg thanks Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 24, 2009 That may be because of the CPU you have and with that MB you will need to get the latest Beta BIOS and then just load setup defaults and enable XMP should be all you need to do and with only one set of modules.

MacKGtiR Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 it has the latest beta bios f5 i only have 3gb 1866mhz tri kit, i thought it was the other ram tri 1600mhz kit that was faulty and sent it back tired setting the cpu to default and just setting xmp but still bsod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 24, 2009 If you have tried 2 sets of memory and they both failed, then I would suspect that the memory is not the issue here. Can you test the CPU in another system or test another motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKGtiR Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 i am going to buy another MB from overclockers because i have a feeling that MB is faulty some how...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
