Yellowbeard Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Please list all your system specifications in the dropdown menu as requested at registration. Have you tried clearing the CMOS, rebooting, and enabling the XMP profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 xforce- Are you aware that your i7-950 CPU only officially supports RAM frequencies up to 1066/1333 MHz. ? http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37150 Quote: "NOTES: 1. Although these units are factory-configured for 1333 MHz integrated memory controller frequency, Intel does not support operation beyond 1066 MHz; however, this processor has additional support to override the integrated memory controller frequency. 2. Column indicates the number of frequency bins (133.33 MHz) of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology that are available for 4, 3, 2, or 1 cores active respectively."

trackrat Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Of course some people can run those speeds with their hardware but that doesn't mean every i7 9xx CPU or other hardware components in a system will run stable at that speed. Obviously if all i7 9xx CPUs would run memory OC'd to 2000 MHz. Intel would officially support the higher frequency. You may want to try this tutorial and review my signature to understand the possibilities: http://www.techreaction.net/2010/09/07/3-step-overclocking-guide-bloomfield-and-gulftown/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
