2 kits of TR3X6G1600C7D & Asus P6T Deluxe V2

Hi! I am running into some issue with Memtest86+ and my configuration.

 

BIOS Settings:

Ai Overclock Tuner - Manual

CPU Ratio Setting - Auto

Intel SpeedStep - Disabled

DRAM Frequency - DDR3-1600MHz

UCLK - 3200MHz

QPI/DRAM Core Voltage - 1.30

DRAM Bus Voltage - 1.66

DRAM CAS# Latency - 7

DRAM RAS# to CAS Delay - 7

DRAM RAS# PRE Time - 7

DRAM RAS# ACT Time - 20

DRAM Timing Mode - 1N

* Everything else Auto

 

These setting seemed to be very stable, and I have had no issues in Windows thus far. Memtest86+ is a different story. With all 12GB loaded Memtest86+ freezes at 3% on test 0. Each 6GB kit tested individually freezes at 7% on test 0. I backed down all the timings and had the same exact results. I do have legacy usb disabled in my BIOS.

 

Any ideas? Do I have bad memory?

 

Thanks!

 

Update: I just burned a new copy of Memtest86+, and so far so good. So I am guessing it was a false alarm.

 

On another note what exactly are acceptable temperatures for the Core i7 to run at? At full load with (4) SP2004 running I am approaching 70 C. Low noise is of high importance to me so I am running the following setup in my Solo Case:

(2) Noctuna NF-B9-1600 Intake Fans

(1) Noctuna NF-S12B ULN exhaust fan

Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 HSF w/ one fan

 

Right now it is pretty silent, and temps are acceptable at idle, but is 70 C too hot at load?

Command Rate should be 2T and with all six slots filled I would suggest setting the memory frequency to DDR1333.

I was able to run Memtest 86+ successfully without any errors. Should I still change my setting per your recommendations? What's the downside to keeping my settings if everything seems to be stable?

 

Thanks for the help!

If it is stable there is no down side just use it.
