rboris Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 them all -- can't get the machine stable beyond 1066 and default settings. All torture tests fail beyond 1066. I suspect that the memory does not live up to its specs. Help please. Thank you! :[pouts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 that is correct, the max ram speed accepted for the i7 chip is 1066, you have to overclock the cpu to go past 1066. have a read... http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=81651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Set XMP and that should be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krout Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hi all, Sinse the topic states "Asus P6t + TR3X6G1600C8D not beyond 1066 " I think I can post my question here. Obviously I have the same board and RAM. BIOS is 0801. If I set RAM to XMP in the BIOS the computer locks up at least once a day. I had this setting for a week and EVERY day it would stop responding to anything. Would not give any error messages. After trying to eliminate all hardware/software issues (couldn't find any, btw) I thought about XMP. Sure enough, when I returned the BIOS setting to Auto, this lockup desapeared. It is only a second day but I think this is it. When I had it on XMP, the two values in the BIOS where in red colour - QPI/DRAM Core voltage [1.35000] and DRAM Bus voltage [1.66]. And here is the question: is it not enough to set memory profile to XMP? Do I need to adjust some settings also? If so, which ones? and to what values? Thank you.

Synthohol Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 you could always try clearing the cmos and try again. even though the 920 should be a good overclocker it could be the memory controller on the CPU wigging out? reset the bios and see if it gets better.

Krout Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 OK, thanks. I'll try this, there is no hurm in it sinse I am running everything on defaults now anyway. However I don't understand how clearing cmos can help me. . If everything in BIOS set to auto - everything works fine. If I set Ai overclock tuner to XMP, the PC locks up. Am I missing some settings? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krout Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well, I tried to reset CMOS and than setting AI to XMP. Did the same thing, locked up. I am back to Auto settings until I can figure out how to use XMP. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 21, 2009 I would check with the MB Maker to be sure that you have the latest BIOS and then test one module at a time with XMP loaded to be sure one is not failing.
