Ripjaws-X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL settings

I have problems with Ripjaws-X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL.
Anyone know what the best timings, volts etc are for running at 1600 or 1866 ?
with my mobo (see sig)
As I can only get them stable at 9-9-9-24 1t, 669mhz 1333, fsb ratio 5:1

Anyone?, driving me nuts checked one at a time as recommended by GSkill but locking up
running at 9-9-9-24 2T, 802mhz, 1600, fsb ratio 6:1 which the recommended settings.

Have you tried Gskill support forums?
there is a thread with regards to this subject as a sticky if you have not seen it

Hi m8, did you get anywhere with your memory ?

I have been playing with mine as I was asked how it clocked (im selling it in MM).

Anyway, these do NOT like volts, mine at 1.65v will not do CAS9 @1600mhz without throwing errors.
In fact overclocking with volts does nothing for it at all.
Its most happy at 1.4-1.5v , and to get it clocking higher requires the CAS changing from 9 to 10 for upto 1850, then cas 11 after that. i
It tops out at cas11,11,10,29 @ 1.5v(1.48 actual) 1970mhz
Changing the voltage over 1.55v = stability issues and crashes in memtest #5 2nd pass.

So if you can i recommend dropping the volts , might be issue ?

Exactly what I managed to work out, it don't like volts at all

I think I have it stable now at 9-9-9-24 2T 1600mhz so it must have been the fact that it was overvolting on the preset overclock upping the the mhz to 1600 it automaticly put volts up, which I had it does on this board

oh thanks for the settings for the overclock try them later, did try em at 1866mhz if you did did you use 10-10-10-27 2T ?

TBH 1T or 2T made little difference to stability at that given Mhz, it was the CAS.

As it happens I have maxed around the setting you are interested in.

That's completely memtest stable (over 8hours )at 1.44v
The quick and dirty test for this memory seems to be test5, if it loops twice then your somewhere close and can start to run full tests.

Great thanks, will try later

I think Tras can maybe come down to 26, but CAS must be 10 or no post, never mind stable.
Its very odd stuff.

Odd is right, never had so much trouble with ram

Ill be interested on how you get on tbh.

Could not get the magic 2000mhz @ CAS10, but might have a weak mem controller as it starts to need bumping up after 1800mhz memory speed, but I am not going over 1.3v(self imposed max)

conoflex · 2 Apr 2011 at 13:05

OK, I'll post back here once i've had a go

Goal is 2000mhz then

Just got back, let it running metest all morning

1 error after 8passes @ cas10,9,9,28 1T 1.44v @ 186mhz BCLK (930mhz)
So its 185max (925mhz) at current settings.
It seems to like creeping the mhz too rather then going for block clocks as i would normally have tried , since i could not get it to post at these settings yesterday till its done its night of memtest loops.
This is probably where people are going wrong (from numerous forums posts i have seen) since clocking it is very fiddly and not in the manner usually used.

As for 2000mhz, these are the 4-8GB XL kits available
Frequency Timing Available Capacity Voltage Color Model name
1333MHz CL 9-9-9-24 4GB/8GB/16GB 1.5V Red XL
1600MHz CL 9-9-9-24 4GB/8GB/16GB 1.5V Red XL
1866MHz CL 9-9-9-24 4GB 1.5V Red XL
1866MHz CL 9-9-9-24 8GB (2GB*4) 1.6V Red XL
1866MHz CL 9-9-9-24 8GB (4GB*2) 1.6V Red XL(D) (+ Fan)
2133MHz CL9-11-9-28 4GB 1.65 Red XL
2133MHz CL9-11-9-28 8GB/16GB 1.65 Red XL(D)(+ Fan)
2200MHz CL9-11-9-28 4GB 1.6V Red XL(D)(+ Fan)
2200MHz CL9-11-9-28 8GB/16GB 1.65V Red XL(D)(+ Fan)

Oddly none are listed as needing CAS10 for the Mhz they attain :eek:

Fairplay thats saved me a lot of work, Top man!
Thanks, I will have a play as soon as I can and let yoiu know how I get on.
