TCung82 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hello, I am currently running Asus MIVE-Z + 4x4GB Corsair Dominator GT (CMT8GX3M2A1866C9). All settings on the mobo are default settings and the memory is currently running at 1333. What settings on the mobo should I change to get the advertised speed of 1866 stable? I've tried simply changing the "Memory Frequency" from "Auto" to "1866" but that made the system freeze on the Windows startup splash screen so I changed it back to "Auto" and everything is back to normal. Amazon (where I bought it from) advertises latency as 9-10-9-27. Note: I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff so please be very specific when explaining which settings I need to change THANK YOU!

peanutz94 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 All you should have to do is enable XMP in your BIOS. You'll have to refer to your MB manual for instructions on how to do that. Just be aware that 1866mhz is a pretty good overclock to your memory and it will depend on your CPU as to whether or not you can run at 1866mhz stable.

Yellowbeard Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 i have an intel i7 2600k. is that okay? The only way to know is to try the XMP setting and test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 26, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 26, 2011 NP please let us know but keep in mind this is a small percentage compared to what we sell and the return rate is still less than 2%. We are just selling a large volume of these coolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
