Faulty ram???

[Brutal biff]

Just ran memtest and showing up 1 error on test 7


Computer is crashing hard resetting in certain games its corsair ram 2 x 16g 6000 mhz or mts

 

[mickyflinn]

Bios up to date on motherboard ?

Expo or xmp profile ?

Did you try each stick individually ?

 

[Brutal biff]

BIos not fully upto date no i updated it in august so 2 versions behind

Expo both sticks

Its now passing ive changed it from 6000 to 5800mts ill see if its still crashes ill update bios at weekend early start in morning

Sometimes you just need to add a little more voltage to get them stable at 6000mhz as some motherboards ru n that speed at 1.35v where it's mitte need 1.4v .

Check your memory specification at it should say what voltage.

That could be it actually think its set by motherboard to 1.35 looked on the oc site it dioes say 1.4v

Thanks ill give it a go

Check Corsair site to confirm.

Updated to the latest bios everything is on stock apart from expo enabled now showing errors in test 8

Rma time?

A small number of errors showing slowly, e.g. one or two to low 10s, is usually a config issue and can be resolved with some minor tweaking.

A large number of errors showing quickly, e.g. hundreds, or even thousands, is almost certainly faulty memory.

If there's no errors at all when EXPO/XMP is disabled, then faulty memory is less likely.

Ive set the ram at 5800 instead of 6000 and no errors showing up now on memtest
Ran stability tests using aida seems fine
Thanks

It might be any of CPU, motherboard, RAM that don't like the speed, though you could try a little more volts as mickyflinn suggested. There can be more luck with manually setting the speed and timings too, but you'd need to know what volts the board uses by default with XMP/EXPO enabled, since not only DRAM voltage is changed.

1.35v i believe

Board is the asus b650 plus wifi latest bios
Cpu 9800x3d

Bit hesitant on upping the voltage but seems stable now ive downclocked it slightly cant see losing any noticable performance with it set at 5800 instead of 6000 apart from it now not resetting the pc

or a lousy IMC that cannot handle the EXPO-rated speeds

It’s probably this ^

Sounds like the RAM is fine if it works at 5800 MT/s.
