dtiao7eb Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hello, I have tried 3 different motherboards and nothing can load these set of ram @ 2400mhz. Then I thought, maybe I got a bad set. So I purchased another set of these. and still it cannot load on any of my motherboards. it will only run @ 2133 stable. Please help. I now have 8 sticks of these dominator platinum, but they will not run @ 2400mhz. :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 11, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 11, 2012 First you are mixing memory kits together, which is something we don't recommend as we can only guarantee the performance of the memory as a single kit. Second, 2400mhz is a very high speed for DRAM and it isn't the motherboard preventing you from hitting those speeds, its the memory controller in your CPU. By using 8 sticks, you're making it even more difficult for the memory controller from the heavy load of filling out your DIMMs and possibly running at a speed outside what your CPU can tolerate. Make sure you have the latest BIOS and then use the memory as a single kit to see if you can actually load them at 2400. If it still is not stable with XMP enabled, then you would need to reduce them one speed level to 2133 and see if you're stable with that. Or your next best option is that if you want to use 32GB, return both sets of memory and get CMD32GX3M4A1866C10 (32GB 4x8GB @ 1866mhz). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftimster Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 My suggestion would be to get the dominator platinum 4×4gb 16gb at 2133c9 I tryed the 2400 16gb 4×4 and I had no luck running it with i7 3960x its just to much on imc. Try the cmd16gx3m4a2133c9 at 1.5v I think you will love the look of the memory plus why stress the $%:# out of your setup for speed you won't eaven notice :-). Just a thought....I'm hoping the ivy bridge-e will let us run this 2400 and beyond memory!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtiao7eb Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hey Ramguy, I bought two sets, but i am only using one. I bought the 2nd one to see if my first set was the problem. I am only using 16gb. it is still unable to boot @ 2400mhz. I have the latest bios. XMP settings are enabled and i manually checked everything. Any suggestions? I dunno if newegg will let me return them. I'll try anyways. I know that 2400mhz isn't going to be a huge jump, but when both the memory and motherboard says it can handle 2400mhz, i'm just confused why its not working. shame. i'll check out the 2133c9s.

ftimster Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Yes 2400 is just to much rite now for our x79 boards if you want the awesome look of the platinum definetly go with the 2133c9 1.5v I'm very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftimster Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I guess if you want to spend the better part of a month reading on how to tweek tweek and tweek some more i think maybe but big maybe IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 if you are using the CPU in your profile it is only rated up to 1600, even 1866 is a big jump much less 2400. thats what may be holding you back. especially at 4.7G thats quite an overclock as it is.
