Added 8GB - PC Unstable

Pc has been find until I added my new 8GB savage RAM. Should I increase the VTT and/or CPU Vcore?

Having issues with the GPU spazzing out, games/GPU drivers freezing and lines across the screen.

Did you run memtest after you installed the ram?

RAM is fine now mate, increased VTT & CPU vCore and it's just fine! On the other hand, windows updates failed last night and my SSD won't re-install windows. What a start to the weekend

Well PC froze so I've reset the bios and left mem test running as I'm out for a few hours. What are the chances the RAM doesnt like my overclock and I have to apply all over again?

Very likely - adding RAM often results in a lower overclock, it'd have been more surprising had it not caused you issues! More stress on the IMC is the main problem, might be possible to keep the same OC with more volts or might have to back it off slightly.

what amount of vccio and vccsa are you using? you shouldn't really need much if any over stock with just 8gb

latest bios?

how much dram voltage aswell and ram speed/timings

I honestly think it was mis-matched pairs. Running Patriot Black Mamba & the Savage modules just messed it up!

I've removed the Patriot sticks and gone through and re-applied my overclock. So far we're doing well - what didn't help was the failed windows updates :mad:
