I can't see any of those settings you mentioned, here is my dram timing page....

The fact is my machine won't boot at 2133mhz with swizzle on with 16Gb, but it does with it off. I'll do some benchmark tests and see what difference with it on/off, according to cinebench it's very little, but if it does I'll just call it a day and stick with 8Gb.

Ok mate I have some settings for you. I am at work now but when I get home I will post you some up.

I received a response from MSI, however they simply asked me to try removing two of the sticks. I have sent the following response:

"Hi,
I have tried each memory stick individually; unfortunately it does not make any difference.

I am able to boot at 1600MHz, however anything above that resulting in a failed POST. However, if I put the full 16GB (4x4GB) in an Asus Z77 motherboard it easily boots at 2400MHz!

Other MSI Z77 users are also experiencing the same problem with this memory, which makes me believe it is a compatibility / BIOS issue.

Please see below for more details:

Cheers,

Matt."

I'll keep you posted.

The reason for this is that when the CPU is memory training it slackens the timings a lot especially subs with full population hence the boot. With two dimms auto tightens them and then no boot!!! Use all your settings including subs for 4 dimms. Put them into your DRAM page and then it will boot with two dimms. Then tighten / tune from that.

Ok, bios applied and been playing with it.

A small improvement - but nothing to get too excited about, I'm afraid :(

My 4x sticks limit has now increased from 1800MHz -> 2000MHz.

My 2x sticks limit hasn't changed and is still 2133MHz.

They're happy with low timings though, at least... running stably at 2000 @ 8-10-9-28-1T @ 1.55V

what batch are the sticks?are they all 1205 (it will be printed on them) or 1150?? or a mixture please check,i dont think they run to well if they are mixed
 
So what are supposedly the best batches? I have 16GB of YKO 1205's, but I got them elsewhere.

Cannot test them until my MVG arrives.

I am guessing these batch numbers are YYWW. Mine are 1207 and 1210. I have kept them paired, though I have tried mixing them and I have tried individually.

I have managed to post at 2133MHz but it wasn't stable enough to run prime for more than a second, and 55 errored more often than not. This was at 11-11-11-28 1T @ 1.65v (iirc on volts).

I currently have all four sticks installed, at 1866MHz 10-10-10-25 1T @ 1.55v (again iirc) and have been running prime95 for towards 11 hours!
 
idk whether it affects anything,i have a mixed batch and they run fine,however i find i need a lot more voltage with 16gb compared to 8gb

1.55v dram voltage with either 8gb kit and 1.63 dram voltage with 16gb kit @2133mhz

im thinking maybe if i had a matched batch they would need less voltage? idk

Ok guys, your opinion needed.

2000MHz 9,10,10,24 1T
OR
2333MHz 11,11,11,28 1T

?

Edit: Sorry to rub it in LadFromWales :( :p

Thing is, is overclocking RAM on this platform makes no difference, at all!

I just want to overclock the RAM because it's possible!

I imagine an extra 166MHz on the RAM would make more of a difference than slightly tighter timings, though. Benchmark and tell us! ;)

EDIT:
Running Prime95 now, 2000MHz, 9-10-10-24 1T. Only been going a few minutes, which is longer than it lasted at 11-11-11-28 1T!

These things are just strange tbh!

1.225v CPU and 1.55v RAM, no other volts tweaked.

Hey there guys. A friend of mine bought 8GB of this amazing RAM, however he's run into an odd issue. Despite previously having 4GB of RAM, Windows is telling him that only 2.98GB is currently being utilised. His motherboard is the Asus P8P67. An odd issue for sure.
 
Okay, just read a very long thread at XS which shows results for multiple steppings. The stepping (manufacture date) is allotted as follows.

YYWW where YY = 11 or 12 and WW = 01 to 52. Batch 1205 (2012 week 5) seems to be the best so far, with some hitting >2900MHz, but nothing is guarenteed.

16GB of 1205 sitting here, waiting for a mobo that can use it:).
