xarragon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have noticed that alot of stores list this product as a 1.5V memory (CMX16GX3M2A1600C11). When I look at your official specifications for the memory however, the SPD value is 1.5V and the tested voltage is 1.65V. But the physical sticks are marked with a 1.5V label. Does this mean they are guaranteed to work at only 1.65V? Will the XMP profile boost voltage to 1.65V for those modules? Shouldn't they then be sold as 1.65V modules? What puzzles me even more is that I found this table from January 2012: Size - 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) Performance Profile - XMP Fan Included - No Heat Spreader - XMS3 Memory Configuration - Dual Channel Memory Type - DDR3 Package - Memory Pin - 240 Package - Memory Format - DIMM Tested Voltage - 1.5 SPD Voltage - 1.5 Speed Rating - PC3-12800 (1600MHz) SPD Speed - 1600Mhz Tested Speed - 1600Mhz Tested Latency - 11-11-11-30 SPD Latency - 11-11-11-30 This data is from your own site, as of this date (Jan 26, 2013): http://www.corsair.com/us/memory/intel-memory-upgrades/dual-channel-intel-memory-upgrade-kits/xms3-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmx16gx3m2a1600c11.html Size 16GB (2 x 8GB) Performance Profile XMP Fan Included No Heat Spreader XMS Memory Configuration Dual Channel Memory Type DDR3 Package - Memory Pin 240 Package - Memory Format DIMM Tested Voltage 1.65 SPD Voltage 1.5 Speed Rating PC3-12800 (1600MHz) SPD Speed 1333MHz Tested Speed 1600Mhz Tested Latency 9-9-9-24 SPD Latency 9-9-9-24 Have the product changed since then? I notice that the product name does not match the advertised latency, the kit is named C11 in the part number but the specs says 9. The tested latency is claimed to be 9-9-9-24, and tested speed is claimed to be 1600 Mhz, but can one assume that it means 9-9-9-24 @ 1600 Mhz? Because the XMP profile were 11-11-11-30 @ 1600 Mhz if I recall correctly. Can't you publish the complete table of speed and latencies, or am I simply reading them wrong? The reason for asking is that a friend of mine has trouble running his ASUS P8Z77-V LE Plus with this kit. It accepts ONE of the modules (either one) in any of the slots, but as soon as you put both sticks into the suggested pair of DIMM slots (the blue ones) it refuses to boot. The built-in memory error detector starts blinking and the system refuses to boot even after a lengthy test of different memory configurations. We have tried enabling the XMP profile but this doesn't seem to help. ASUS only suggests trying another pair of memory modules, something we do not have at hand at the moment. Can you offer any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 SPD would be default or 1333mhz @1.5v. then you have Tested setting or XMP that would be 1600mhz @1.65v Basically it's a typo in the product number It should read C9 instead of C11. I'll make sure it gets taken care of. The reason for asking is that a friend of mine has trouble running his ASUS P8Z77-V LE Plus with this kit.

This would suggest it's some issue with the MB and not the memory. I would contact ASUS and let them know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
