Memory help

Hiya all,

could someone please spec me 4gb of ram for my 790i board that will run at 1600mhz? It has to be dual channel ddr3. This speed is oc'd on my mobo but the box says its capable of running that speed.

I have come Corsair xms3 stuff thats rated to run at 1600 but I cant get it that fast just to 1333.

Im getting confused by the stuff thats suitable for my mobo but says optimised for i5 or i3 etc.

Ta

I get random crashes. Its not stable in intel burn test or prime. It is rock solid at 1333 though

1.8volts.

Ive just had a play with the timmings and relaxed them a bit from 9-9-9-24 1t to 10-10-10-24 2t and ran at 1600 and that passed IBT.

On memory im totally in the dark is that a bad thing to do?

gonna have to try something. Was just browsing facebook and it crashed again.

How do I run memtest?

Cpuz states 1.5v but on the side of the sticks it says 1.8v. In the bios its running at 1.8v but on auto. Do you think I need to manually change the volts in the bios to get it to stick at 1.8v constantly?

These are the 2 screen shots I have from cpuz

Any ideas??

On the side of the sticks it says they can run at 1600mhz with 1.8v
