h2323 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hello, I have looked through the forum and am posting a question about info I could not find. I am having stability issues I have a Asus Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard with an AMD 8350 CPU. My RAM is Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866 C9 (CMD16GX3M2A1866C9) As you know the mobo runs it at 1333 out of the box at 9-9-9-24 I bumb it up to 1866 change the timing to 9-10-9-27 command rate 2T So my system runs it for a bit, could be any amount of time... but a crash could happen at any time, I can stress test and be good then crash on boot and reboot. I'm certain its the RAM. I think I must have to change more on the bios then just timing. I would like to know what to change other then just the timing. Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain its the RAM. I think I must have to change more on the bios then just timing. I would like to know what to change other then just the timing. Please help Sounds like a simple voltage adjustment should fix it. I would try setting the voltage to 1.55v or 1.6v if and .2v to the NorthBridge or whatever your memory controller voltage is called in your BIOS. Let me know if that helps any!

h2323 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 k done....... lets hope, going to run it through some heavy loads and reboot a thousand times. If anyone has information on any other timing changes or issues please post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2323 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Good so far, I didn't know to adjust CPU volts for RAM stability. Thanks. That 1866 ram really gets this thing humming along, benching really nice and amazingly smooth operation between programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2323 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 crash's randomly still. Should I continue to up voltage? how much, just .2v at a time? ex cpu from 1.380 to 1.412 at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa! NO! Your not supposed to raise CPU volts! JUST the MEMORY voltage! Please turn your CPU voltas back down to stock values and adjust the memory voltage and also add .2v to the North Bridge(memory controller) voltage. If you do not know what you are adjusting let me know and I will download your manual and take a look. But raising CPU voltage that high can damage the CPU.

h2323 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm pretty sure people overclock 8350s volts to 1.5v on a regular basis and I went to 1.412 from 1.380, and I'm liquid cooled so no damage done but its a no go.... even when properly adjusted. I can not get enough stability, very common for this RAM with my configuration if you hit the forums, I just thought I would get better info on this site and I did, thank you for your time. I went with 16gb Patriot black mamba 2133. Runs natively on my board at 1600 9-9-9-24, may not seem like a big difference but the 8350 likes fast ram. The corsair seems like nice ram for an intel board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setinhere Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I got mine steady by dropping the DRAM Voltage to 1.4125 but then I only have Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (CMD16GX3M2A1600C9) didn't have to mess with the NB voltage. I'm running it on the D.O.C.P. 1600MHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 22, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi H2323, I would suggest you to memtest them one at a time in the same slot with the following settings: DDR voltage: 1.5v Timings: 9-10-9-27 CMD: 2T and let us know the results. Make sure to let Memtest go through at least 3 passes. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
