Ripjaws X F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH sticks problem
Hi there,
My name is Christian, hailing from Poland - and I have a problem.
About year ago I bought nice pair of G.Skill memory sticks, 4GB each. Everything was all fine and dandy until recent when my online game I use to play started to crash like every hour.
At first I thought it's my SDD fault because game client were reporting corrupted data files but scan disk was not finding errors. Then my clan mate suggested it might be memory problem and suggested that I run Memtest86+ to check if everything is fine.
Memtest reported hundred of errors between 7th and 8th GB of memory pool on both sticks.
Now I just don't know if the sticks failed or I have wrong memory settings in BIOS. I thought I will share my settings so you guys can comment on them and tell me if I did something wrong that caused my Ripjaws to fail or the sticks just failed.
So I was running on this setup:
CPU: i7-2600k
Mobo: GigaByte H67N-USB3-B3
Advanced Memory Settings
System Memory Multiplier (SPD): Auto [13.33 - which gives 1333MHz]
Profile DDR Voltage: 1.5V [unchangeable]
Profile VTT Voltage: 1.05V [unchangeable]
Channel Interleaving: Auto [can be either Enabled or Disabled]
Rank Interleaving: Auto [can be either Enabled or Disabled]
Channel A/B Timing Settings
1. Standard Timing Control
CAS Latency Time: 7
tRCD: 7
tRP: 7
tRAS: 21
2. Advanced Timing Control
tRC: Auto [33]
tRRD: Auto [4]
tWTR: Auto [5]
tWR: Auto [10]
tWTP: Auto [21]
tWL: Auto [7]
tRFC: Auto [108]
tRTP: Auto [5]
tFAW: Auto [20]
Command Rate (CMD): 2
3.Misc Timing Control
IO Latency: 1
Round Trip Latency: 35
I don't know what most of these mean, I only knew that I have to change standard timing from 9-9-9-24 to 7-7-7-21 and command rate from 1 to 2 - so I did. Other timings I just left on auto and I don't know if those are OK or wrong.
At the moment I had to change from 7-7-7-21 to 10-10-10-30 and I increased other timings too just so I don't get so many errors at Memtest86+.
I would appreciate some insight on this.
Thanks in advance.
