... why is your QPI/DRAM Voltage so high? haha the red is trying to tell you something.

OC From Memory Level Up - DDR3-2000
CPU Ratio Setting - 16.0
BCLK Frequency - 200
DRAM Frequency - DDR3-2000
UCLK Frequency - 4000Mhz
CPU Load Line Calibration - Disabled

CPU Voltage - 1.31V
CPU PLL Voltage - 1.86V
QPI/DRAM Core Voltage - 1.55V
IOH Voltage - 1.36V
IOH PCIE Voltage - 1.61V
ICH Voltage - 1.21V
ICH PCIE Voltage - 1.61V

Save and exit. This setting should work, if not let me know the results and I will be able to further assist you.

Thank you

I tested but not work, GENE not boot at 1.55v QPI/DRAM !!!
At 1.57250 QPI/RAM the LCD POSTER say DET DRAM !!!

[GSKILL TECH]

What is DET DRAM? QPI/DRAM Voltage should not need to be that high.

Thank you

LCD POSTER show DET DRAM (DETECTION DRAM).
My motherboard or processor is bad or dead because he not support this speed and voltage ?
At 1600Mhz and 1800Mhz that work fine QPI/DRAM 1.45v and 1.55v !!!

[GSKILL TECH]

You will need to ask the motherboard manufacturer about that one. If it just says DETECTION DRAM, I don't think that's an actual problem though.

So it boots fine and works OK at 1.45V QPI/DRAM Voltage? Let me know where you're at, I'm not sure what your progress is.


Thank you

I'm back with a good news !!!
I ghange my processor this afternoon by a revision DO stepping (i920 DO)
and all work fine with just QPI/DRAM at 1.55v and DRAM Voltage at 1.65v !!!

Thanks for your support GSkill !!!!!

I had the same problems with the 3x2gb F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD at ASUS RAMPAGE II GENE nothing want to work, but if i set the ai overclock to x.m.p. mode, it sets the orginal settings of the ram and he boot with right timings.
I hope it will be help other user to bring this rams to work.

I also have Rampage II Gene
Bios 904
F3-12800CL8TU-6GBPI 3x2
i-7 co Dark KNight cooler


I have followed the settings in two of these GENE threads and have some stability.
It even freezes with the ram at 1066 but not as often.

My system freezes and I notice the USB mouse and keyboard Quit.(Lights go out on them)

I am calling Tech support today.. I'm thinking this ram is not the best suited for this MB

cpu change to D0 revision the C0 have probs with all rams and overclocking settings
