**WANT 8GB 2400MHz FOR AS LITTLE AS £59.99 Inc. VAT? - THEN CHECK THIS THREAD OUT!!** (MV-3V4G3D/US)

You could try saving your BIOS settings then loading optimized defaults and re enter your oc and memory settings
 
I've just been digging through the MSI forums (specifically the beta BIOS section). It would appear that a future BIOS might help, as they have a number of memory references (although not specifically related to Samsung):

  • Fix some Dram OC fail(OCZ OCZ3RPR2000LV4GK,OCZ OCZ3RPR1866C9LV6GK)
  • Improve memory OC compatibility and stability.
  • Improve system stability when use G.Skill F3-19200CL9Q-16GBZMD and Kingston KHX2400C11D3K4 memory and XMP is enabled.
  • Improve system stability when use Transcend TX2400KLU-4GK and Team TXD34096M2400HC9N-L memory and XMP is enabled.

I think you can download the beta BIOS now (not 100% as this is my first MSI), so might be worth a shot.
 
So I spent all last night messing about with the ram on my new Ivy 3770k ... only to achieve at the best 1800 @ 10 - 10 - 10 - 28 - 1t.

I somehow managed to get it to boot at 2000 just now, seems stable enough to post this on.. thats @ 11 - 11 - 11 - 29 -2t though.

It literally refuses to boot any higher that that. Doesnt matter if im throwing 1.45v at the sticks or 1.6v.

In addition I've set the VCIO to 1.11 and VCSA to just below it at 1.1095 I think (gigabyte like to be different and call them by a different name just to make things difficult).

Haven't messed around with the sub timings much so perhaps its that? Or maybe a bios thing like some of you lot are having trouble with.

Slightly annoying anyway, if anyones got any input it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Flakey sorry to hear your having so much difficulty, I'm running at 2133Mhz in the Z77A G65D with no issues I have left VCIO and VCSA to auto.

Try these settings:

9-10-10-28 1T @ 1.6480V

Don't overclock the CPU.

Maybe you have a bad set but you could always send it back under the 14 day satisfaction guarantee and get another set.

Forgot to mention I'm running 4 sticks of it (16GB) so I'm betting that's got something to do with it.

Had the sticks a while now too, currently running memtest at 2000 11 11 11 26 1t anyway, seems good so far. Tried for cas 10 etc, but that threw up errors quite quick.

Best give 8gig 2 sticks a try first then to see how far you can get but also like Wazza says you might need a updated Bios when it comes out.
 
I'm running 2133mhz at 11-11-11-28 1.5v. Had it running prime95 on blend all day and has completed super Pi 32m without issues. Going to memtest it while I'm out tonight
 
@mswbull - Any luck? I can POST at 1800MHz at 1.35v, not at 1866MHz, even if I up the voltage. Thinking it was maybe an odd-multiplier bug I tried 34, 36 and 44, still no go.

Are you running four sticks? If yes have you tried two?

I find it odd that I can POST just fine at 1800 but another 66MHz and it kicks out all it's toys.
 
I just got some Samsung today from the shop.I am on the Gene with 3570K. I will post back my results and timings etc as soon as I get it installed and have a bit of time to play with the settings.

Hi,

Yep, I have four sticks (4x4GB). Unfortunately still no luck at my end. The MSI forum links have died (they were working yesterday), but I did get one response saying I should raise a ticket with their tech team (which I did).

I agree with your thoughts, I'm hoping a BIOS update will free things up. There is no way you could hit 1800 and not 1866, especially at that voltage.

Please keep me posted if you get anything working and I'll do the same ;)
 
I was able to get the memory out from under my K2 cooler, would you be able to do the same with your Noctua? See if you can get any further with just slots 2 and 4 populated :)
 
I'm struggling myself with 4 sticks of this on an Asus P8z77-v pro with the latest bios.
With 2 sticks I can hit 2400mhz 11-11-11-30 1.56v no problem, and 2133mhz 10-10-10-28mhz 1.5v, but put the other two sticks in and it won't boot past 1600mhz, it either starts then switches itself off immediately or the memtest light stays on. I've tried upping the vccsa which also controls the vccio (there's no separate vccio setting on this board) and upping the memory to 1.65v, but still no joy :(
