sinned. Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 First off I am new to these forums so hello and thanks for having me! And now my issue, This is my true first build from scratch and I am really new to BIOS and all that jazz. Anyway I have CMD16GX3M2A1866C10 Corsair Dominator 16gb (2x8) 1866 and I cant (or don't know how) to get it to run at 1866. EVGA just released a new BIOS for the MOBO and I tried tinkering with the XMP Profiles and I get an error and cant get back to the BIOS without resetting my CMOS. Can someone please help me with the steps I would need to take to get my memory to run correctly? I wont be able to check back in til around 4:36pm CST but if someone could help I will thank you profusely at that time. And thank you in advance just to start.

peanutz94 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 All you should have to do is load set-up defaults and then enable XMP. But try setting the Memory voltage to 1.55v or 1.6 if need be but no higher than that. If It's not working you could try setting them manually to the specs on the sticks.

sinned. Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 when I change the enable the XMP profile it wont boot. I think the error on my board itself says A2. I am really getting frustrated at this silly thing. I think it may be time to move to a z77 board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Did you try adjusting the DIMM voltage as i suggested earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 12, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 12, 2013 I thought I posted a reply earlier but was it the R21 BIOS? I checked their forums really quickly and people are having XMP problems in general (even with competitor's modules). You may want to see if its a bad BIOS update.

sinned. Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I havent tried adjusting it the votage, ill try that next. And yes its the R21 and I have also tried it on the R16 and R15 betas and full release. It's all good I just ordered myself an EVGA z77 ftw we will see if that fixes it. And once again I truly appreciate the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
