1866 ?

foster grant · 13 Feb 2013 at 11:29

ok i have 16 gigs of corsair blue ram the 1866 kit,....4 x4gig sticks , i have them set @1600.....last night went into my BIOS and put the ram to run @1866....rebooted the system and what i got was a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left hand side on the screen......what does this mean please ??
thanx

P.S. i made no other changes in the BIOS ...just the speed.

Sounds to me like it cannot boot as the memory has been clocked too far. Reset BIOS, should fix it!

OK, i was able to go in and put it back @1600.....( should have said that sorry )

When I had this issue, I had to reset the BIOS & then set the CAS manually along with the speed & multiplier. I'm not the best person to advise to TBH.

You could always post in the 8Pack section under overclocking/cooling if it's still available.

Was the correct voltage used for 1866?

foster grant · 13 Feb 2013 at 14:43

I changed nothing in the BIOS apart from the speed

, so presumably it would have stayed as it was

Check the rams rated voltage and see what your bios is giving it?

ok , i'll give it a look tonight when its a bit less noisy where i am , thanx space monkey

No problem, hope you sort it

Also, as Snips says just double check the timings in the bios match the rams timings at 1866 as they'll be different from the spec you ran the 1600 at
