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

Hey 8 Pack,

I'm new to memory overclocking, but am experiencing the issue with an MSI Z77A GD-65, where I can't post obove 1600MHz.

Are you able to provide a full breakdown of primary / secondary timings and I'll give them a try?

I would love to hit 2133MHz (which seems to be the sweet spot), but would take anything right now :)

Yes I will. I am at Body Power Expo in Birmingham at the mo. Back home Sunday. But I certainly can try no problem from here.

Right this is a 1.65v Profile, with vccio at 1.2 and VCCSA 1.15+ try the timings given then work down the volts and tighten if it works. Ivy Bridge CPU IMC.

Primary Timings 9-11-11-25 1T or 2T if necessary try 9-12-12-25, DRAM RAS to RAS delay 7 or 8, REF cycle time 214 or 147 Ideally 128, DRAM refresh Intrerval 10360, DRAM write recovery Time 14 (Try to tune to 10), DRAM write to pretime 10 (Tune to 6) , DRAM Four act wintime 30 (Tune to 26), DRAM write to read delay 10 (Tune to 6) Minimum Pulse width 5, DRAM write cas latency 8(Tune to 7). TRRD 5 (Tune to 1) TRRDD 5 or 6, TWWDR 5 or 4, TWWDD 4 (Tune to 1), TRWDR 6, TRRSR 5, TWRDR 4 ( Tune to 2), TWWSR 5 (Tune to 2), TRWSR 6.

This is my best educated guess from here. Give it a try!!!! and report back. Use memtweak in windows to tweak then make settings permanent after testing.

Thanks for the tips, i tried all you mentioned, and still SuperPi fails within seconds. I even upped the VCCSA to 1.275 and it will post windows (and played 5 hours of Diablo 3 no crashes) but if Super Pi isnt running, its obviously not stable :-(

Maybe you can't get 2133 with 32GB? Real shame..

Have you put the EZ floppy style connector in the board. Try DRAM voltage 1.65v to tune down 10-12-12-28 or 31 1T Mode 1 Clock Gen filter 20uf VTT 1.25, VCCSA 1.25 and make sure your not clocking the CPU while testing.

Post back with screen shots of your sub timings I will try and help. Oh and increase DRAM Current capability to 130% :)
 
I followed the recommended settings in this review (which I think 8 Pack also linked to) - passed 1 complete pass (1hr+) of Memtest86+ :) very impressed with this RAM

2133 @ 11-11-11-28 - TWCL 1.45V

this is for 4x4GB sticks - so 16GB

What review? As I do not see a link

Cheers
 
I posted on that forum and a Gigabyte guy said this -

"Reports on Z77 incompatibilities with this memory have been sent in, keep an eye on this thread for an update once I hear back with BIOS updates"

http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/48615-z77x-d3h-16gb-samsung-green-memory-issue.html#post427998

Hopefully it will be looked at soon then :)

I have a UD3H on F9 bios and the random freezes have decreased compared with running on earlier bios versions, but they still occur.
 
question please - especially for any other Maximus Gene V owners

as above 2200 11-11-11-28 @ 1.45 is totally stable

I tried 2200 10-10-10-28 @ 1.45 and memtest86+ passed a complete set, Superpi completed fine 32M, yet handbrake encodes stop/crash almost immedately, and windows is unstable (blue screens)

raising CPU Vcore didn't seem to help either - nor did a bump in the memory volts

any ideas please ?

Tried raising VCCSA?
 
no - thats one thing I haven't tried yet - good idea Rossi

currently set to 1.15V I think

Try 1.2 VCCSA and VTT then lower step by step if stable. If still not stable then maybe loosen the secondary timings a little? Ramp up the DDR voltage to 1.62v as well and keep it there whilst doing this then again start to take it down if found stable.
 
thanks for suggestions will give a try

was odd that passed over 1 hour of Memtest86+ fine and superpi

so seemed like it was something to do with the cpu under load
 
I just got 16gb of this ram. Having problems getting them over 2ghz stable. At 2ghz im running cas 9-9-9-22-1t 1.45v stable.

Boards an Asus Rampage IV Formula. Any suggests for 2333mhz? Tried cas 11-11-11-28-2t @ 1.6v but wont post. vcc at 1.2v. Idea's?
 
Whats the post code on the LED mate??? When your using 2333mhz your on the 1.25 strap I take it you have reduced the multiplier accordingly to ensure same CPU mhz?? VCC 1.25 and VCCSA 1.25 and work down from that at 10-12-12-31 1T. 1.65v Initially. Set rampage tweak to mode 1 and clock gen filter to 20uf.

Guys VCCSA is system agent, if your looking at memory stability VCCIO is the voltage to change on Z77 . 1.25v is what GSkill recommend for DDR 2666mhz TridentX just to give you an idea. Personally DDR 2800 - 2933 only 1.20v was needed. Obviously every CPU IMC is different.
