TwoTabs Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 so i noticed when i first got these sticks of ram that they default in my bios at 1333 mhz. well i tried to get them to go to 1600 they work for a little bit then i get the blue screen of death. does anyone knwo why this keeps happening when i try to go to 1600? im running all the same identical sticks with all the same part numbers. i hacve attached photos of my cpu z timings and dims. please help me someone!!!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 They're not identical. They can be made of different parts and since the individual packs weren't tested together there's no way to guarantee that they'd work together. Test ONE stick at a time with Memtest86+ v4.20.

TwoTabs Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 yeah ive heard there isnt much of a performance gain from 1333 to 1600 but id still like to get them running at peak performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTabs Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 i have sardu with memtest on it ill do that tomorrow when i get off work and let you know what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Smith Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 When you test using memtest and they all work individually, set your Bios to 1600 for the ram and test each stick again but this time trying to load into windows.... until you find the one that won't run. That is how I isolated the faulty ram module I had. I too have the same ram and and 2 kits of it and for me they ran great for a month until I also got a blue screen. Beginning to think this ram is rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beginning to think this ram is rubbish This is sort of correct. To test with memetest load set up defaults first(important) then load the XMP profile 1 and then test.each stivk in the first slot. let each stick run for at lest 4 passes or until you get an error. If you gfet more than one stick that shows errors then test other slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexxsys Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Okay, just a point to note. Each stick is 1333, but with XMP will clock to 1600. And if you look at CPU-Z each slot shows SPD Ext XMP So it is running at the speed and settings in XMP Column = 800 Mhz and because it is Dual Channel Mode = 1600 Mhz (2 X 800 Mhz) CPU-Z reads from the RAM, and notes the Bios Speed Profile (XMP in this case) You second tab (last picture) shows the channels = Dual Your memory is at 1600 Mhz.
