Enable the XMP profile.

If this is the 1.50V rated Vengeance then leave it at that.

If it's the 1.50-1.65V rated Vengeance then still enable the XMP profile but try setting the DRAM voltage manually to 1.55V.

Already have XMP enabled its the 1.5v version should I try high voltage to 1.55v?

Just want into bios and set voltage manually, instead of auto to 1.5v xmp enabled and manually set timings 9-9-9-24.
What I noticed windows started faster :confused:

normally I would wait at welcome screen for say 15secs this time I never seen the welcome screen.

shankly1985 · 27 Mar 2012 at 20:28

Memtest still showing the errors tho

shankly1985 · 27 Mar 2012 at 22:25

Question about VTT Voltage and VCCSA Voltage What should theses be set to? Mine are at VTT 1.051v and VCCS at 0.925v.

Reading on another forum at post recommends 1.10v on both? what you guys use.

Thanks

Ran windows memory diagnostic and found no errors. But I haven't had any BSOD yet. Last one was about this time last night.

will this run the ivy bridge cpu's ?

As the Extreme 4 Gen3 is a Z68 board, then with a bios update it should support Ivybridge.

The mobo states its compatible with XMP 1.3, but I only have the option of 1.2? does this matter?

I'm running Corsair vengeance 1600Mhz, 4 x 4GB Low Profile. Set at 1.5V and changed to 1600Mhz.

You need to update BIOS to 1.20 version.

I always update with the Windows version, find it easier than the other options.

Thanks for your reply Nightglow. I've updated but I'm still getting this

Or is that normal?

MVP Lucid Virtu Utility 2.1.110a for Windows 7 x64

Installed it on my Extreme 4 Gen 3, no problems. Not played with it yet, so i don't know if it all works, but it didn't crash my PC when playing games.
