Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 7, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 7, 2011 I would suggest setting the memory voltage to 1.7 Volts if you are going to O/C to get the memory at DDR1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJRimmsey Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 I would suggest setting the memory voltage to 1.7 Volts if you are going to O/C to get the memory at DDR1600. I checked bios and the highest setting is 1.66v but thats redded out like it has a nuclear warning set to it. not planning on overclocking anyway,the great radeon bios flash feckup of 98 stopped me ever clocking again..:biggrin: seems to be running stable though,just getting graphic cards vpu errors,but i suppose thats driver related. thanks for reply though.

Which specific memory kit do you have (the one in your signature)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee Corsair Art Posted March 1, 2016 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 1, 2016 Bios is up2date it is f5h...with vishera support, and yes it´s the memory in the signature That's a different kit from what the OP was running, I'm not finding it as being compatible on our end nor the motherboard manufacturer's end. Try going back to a non beta bios and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
