new ram affect oc?

Something Else · 30 Jan 2013 at 11:00

Got my 2500k running stable at 4.7 with 16gb of kingston gyper x genesis grey 1600mhz with 1.55v
Ive bought some patriot viper venom red 2133mhz 8gb(2x4gb) will the new ram affect my ovrrclock at all?

I would retest your overclock as the faster RAM will put increased load on your IMC

It should be fine 16gb either 4x4gb or 2x8gb puts a high load on IMC too. If you just set XMP and 2133 with a touch of IMC/VTT volts all should be well.

went all funny when i installed it

i5 2500k
asus maximus v gene z77
patriot viper 3 venom red 2133mhz 1.5v 8gb (bought two of these)

installed the ram and tried to set it to 2133mhz using xmp profile but it would not boot. it would shut down and restart and then just not boot at all. had to reset the cmos for it to start up. i want to get the ram working at the 2133mhz not the 1600mhz it is now.

should i manually input the timings for the ram and see if it works at the correct speed?

i think you need more dram voltages for that frequency

its listed as 2133mhz with 1.5v on patriots website

just need to re apply the overclock and all is good. cheers for the help
