I suspect that I may have answered my own question. But...
Just replaced my Corsair LPX 2666 (2x8GB) with some faster LPX 3200 (2x8GB). Been running fine with the old memory for about a year now. All the same setting in the BIOS, but the OC does not now appear stable with Intel Burn Test (temps OK). CPU gets 1.28v and mid level LLC. I've now set the LLC up one notch and it now appears OK.
Question. Is it usual that faster RAM can effect OC stability on this CPU?
Thanks in advance.
PS. CPU multiplier is 49.
