Hi, ignore my sig (that's a v old rig). I have i7-2600k @ 4.2 on a P67A-GD65 (r3).
BIOS OC is basically changing CPU multi from 35 to 42. XMP is set too and RAM volts are at 1.65 max (set my auto).
I've getting random failure in Win 8 and I notice RAM will not pass memtest (even without OC). So I guess my 2 x 4gb (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX) may be giving up on me.
If I need to by new RAM I'll go for a 2 x 8gb kit. I was looking at the
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-165-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
The red LEDs would go well in my case (I need to measure as I don't have much clearance under the CPU h/sink).
Does anyone:
1. Have any comments about the Crucial RAM (compared to my current Kingston)?
2. Have any better suggestions (no point suggesting high profile stuff though).
3. Know if, assuming my Kingston RAM is still OK, whether I would be better running the 16gb kit on its own or the full 24gb kit in quad channel?
Thanks!
