** THE BEST MEMORY DEAL IN THE UK: KINGSTON BEAST 2400MHz 8GB KIT @ £45.99 Inc. VAT!! **

No joy from tweaking Sa, ioa/d pch etc? Found theese yo help with my 8gb team group kit in sig, on xmp with the cpu oc'd i need 1.200 on the above voltages.
SA, IOA, IOD all ramped up to 1.2v with no joy, DRAM up to 1.7v no joy, will fiddle with PCH next, then its onto new F8 bios and then X02 LN2 bios, IF those don't help then the giga boards getting scrapped for an M6E.
On the plus side I've had a single kit up to 2500mhz C11 no problem.

For those that bought yours this week (from the 300 stock allocation) did you get black PCBs?

Mine arrived today and were black PCB, I'm pretty sure they were from the 300 that Gibbo mentioned as they were despatched on that day I think.
They look really smart, the pics don't do them justice. Can't wait to get the rest of the parts now.

Thanks Mark, I think I'll order me a couple of packs

Nice deal on the memory but they look horrid imo

Runs fine at 2133 on my MSI Z87M-G43

Would they not run at 2400?

May have to tweak, would randomly restart computer, had set it to Profile one for XMP, runs fine on Profile 2.

Bit worrying as PGI is having issues as well, hope it's a one off so to speak, rather than poor ram?

Some CPUs don't like higher speed RAM, my computer would occasionally crash when I had 2400MHz Trident-X RAM but worked fine at 2133MHz. I error checked the RAM multiple times to ensure that wasn't the problem. I'm not able to try my kits until next week but I realise I may have to run it at 2133 to get it to work properly. At this price though I'm still happy

I'm just hoping the 2 kits I've ordered will work at listed speeds is all, will be paired with either i5 Haswell, X79 i7 or the new Z97 refresh so hopefully those CPUs will cope with 2400MHz?

The IMC on a lot of CPUs will struggle with 4x4GB @ 2400MHz that some are going with.
I bought this RAM originally with the intention of running 2133 with tight timings which they do pretty well but have to chuck a load of voltage at the VTT/IMC(VCCSA) to get 2400 stable (I don't run them at 2400) and I'm fairly sure thats the IMC on my 4820 struggling. (They seem to have been designed to work on an older i7 chip than haswell/4xxx as the default profile has 1.3+v memory controller data embedded which would be waaay too much for current generations of i7).

So yours isn't working either! Great
Wouldn't say that.
I now have them running at 1600MHz with a 4GHz OC i5 750
Can't fiddle much more this evening as I want something stable for some gaming but I'm well aware my GENE III only supports up to 2133 which will be my eventual goal.
