Can't get system to post with ram at 2000mhz

[shadevice]

Using

G.SKILL Trident 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD

with

EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI LE Intel Motherboard

I followed the guide exactly and the system won't post

I have managed to OC my Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920

Working config:

cpu clock ratio 20x
cpu host freq 191 -- target 4018mhz
target memory freq - 1530mhz
cpu uncore 3252mhz 17x


qpi - 4.8 gt/s

volts:

cpu vcore 1.35
qpi pll vcore 1.35
dimm volt 1.65

timings

8
8
8
19


soon as I raise cpu to 200 my system wont post.

if i raise uncore, system wont post.

I'd like to hit 2000mhz . the reason i bought this ram.

Thanks.

Your best bet may be to start out at stock setting, for these sticks that's 9-9-9-24, command rate 2T and voltage at 1.65.

You will however need an OC on the CPU to hit 2000, will probably have to adjust the advanced timings and some of the voltages. Depending on the OC, you may even have to relax the base timings, whereas you have tightened them with your 8-8-8-19 settings.

What stepping is your CPU? Try these settings:

CPU Clock Ratio - 16 X for 3.2GHz
CPU Host Frequency - 200
CPU Uncore Frequency - 4000
Spread Spectrum - Disabled

Memory Feature (submenu)
Memory Control Setting - Enabled
Memory Frequency - 2000MHz / 2:10

tCL Setting - 9
tRCD Setting - 9
tRP Setting - 9
tRAS Setiing - 24
Command Rate - 2T
The rest can be AUTO.

Voltage Control (submenu)
CPU VCore - 1.350V
CPU VTT Voltage - +100mV
CPU PLL VCore - 1.900V
DIMM Voltage - 1.65V
QPI PLL VCore - 1.550V
IOH Vcore - 1.300V
IOH/ICH I/O Voltage - 1.600V
ICH VCore - 1.200V

CPU Feature (submenu)
Intel SpeedStep - Disabled
Turbo Mode Function - Disabled
CxE Function - Disabled
Execute Disable Bit - Enabled
Virtualization Technology - Enabled

Intel HT Technology - Enabled
Active Processor Cores - All

QPI Control Settings - Enabled
QPI Link Fast Mode - Enabled
QPI Frequency Selection - 4000

Let me know how that goes.

Your guide at http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=1320

has

Command Rate - 1T

may be my problem.

[Tradesman]

Think so, or at least part of it. 1T is too tight (I think) for your mobo and even 1600 RAM let alone 2000

[GSKILL TECH]

Yea, E757 may not be able to handle it. Some of the higher models can which is why we state 1T on the guide. Sorry about that.

That was progress. It posted but did not boot.

What can I change now?

[GSKILL TECH]

Is that D0 or C0 stepping CPU?

Try these settings,

CPU Clock Ratio - 18 X
CPU Host Frequency - 180
CPU Uncore Frequency - 3600
Spread Spectrum - Disabled

This is my stable environment. I am happy with my CPU speed. Really just need the ram to preform at the mhz it is able to.

[GSKILL TECH]

Make sure you manually set timings. With those timings they will definitely be unstable.

Man I miss playing games all day. haha

Yeah I do manually set the timings to what you said but then system wont boot.

If I leave the timings alone the system boots and automatically adjusts them to 11/11/11/28
