Memory [ Perfect Storm] F3-17066CL9T-6GBPS
Maiboard Gigabyte ga-ex58 extreme
Processor I7 950 (d0)
Windows vista x64

Hi, i'm having a lot of issues with this config, is related with the memory. Basically i'm not able to make them work at the stock speed and timmings, (2133@ 9-9-9-24).

I've tried enabling the xmp profile: The computer it's not able to boot, black screen and the mainboard's lcd shows the "c1" code (the manual says Detect memory auto-detection of dram size, type and ecc)

Setting up all the settings manually, memory multiplier, timmings, advanced timmings, voltages..., same result as enabling xmp profile.

Using the settings for the F3-16000CL8/9T-6GBPS + Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R BIOS config from the DDR3 BIOS Configuration Guides in this forum, same result.

The memory just work fine at 1600mhz-1830mhz, i've tested it with memtest and seems to be fine.
Any recomendation?

In my opinion it's a problem related with this mainboard, i saw more problems with other memories at 2ghz or higher speeds, should i change the maiboard?

Thanks.

Try the following settings:


In MIT (MB Intelligent Tweaker):

CPU Clock Ratio - 14x for 3.6GHz
QPI Link Speed - AUTO
Base Clock Control - Enabled
BCLK Frequency - 200
Performance Enhance - Standard
Extreme Memory Profile - Disabled
System Memory Multiplier - 10

Uncore & QPI Features
Uncore Frequency - 4000

DRAM Timing Selectable - Manual

CAS Latency Time - 9
tRCD - 9
tRP - 9
tRAS - 24

Enter these for the other three as well.

Channel A Timing Settings

Advanced Timings
Command Rate - 2

Advanced Voltage Control
Load-Line Calibration - Disabled
CPU Vcore - 1.25V
QPI/VTT Voltage - 1.40V or 1.50V
CPU PLL - 1.900V

PCIE - AUTO
QPI PLL - 1.300V
IOH Core - 1.400V
ICH I/O - 1.600V
ICH Core - 1.300V
DRAM Voltage - 1.640V
Rest to AUTO

This motherboard simply needs a high QPI Voltage to run a high BCLK. Let me know how that goes.

Do you have the latest BIOS?

Thank you

I'm testing your configuraton right now, the pc was able to boot correctly and now is running a prime94, so far no errors.
