Hey,
Last month I got myself some new components based on Haswell I7-4770K.
Complete rig specs:
Intel I7-4770K @ 43x100 1.25v, won't do 44x100 even at 1.3v (custom WC)
Corsair 850W PSU
Asus Geforce GTX 680
Gskill RipjawsZ F3-19200CL11Q-16GBZHD (4x4) rated at DDR 2400Mhz
Win7
Asus Maximus VI Hero (Z87)
On to the issue.
At first I concentrated on the CPU leaving everything in the BIOS to Auto except for CPU multiplier and some voltages. The memory posted at DDR3 1600 Mhz, which already puzzles me.
I'm very confident that the CPU is now stable at the settings listed above so I went on the get the memory up to its rated clock frequency and timings.
Firstly, When setting the memory to DDR3 2400Mhz while leaving everything to Auto I couldn't even get into the OS without seeing a BSOD appear. So OK, I decided to look up some advice and started to play around with voltages such as DRAM Voltage, System Agent Voltage and even upping the CPU vcore. I also tried using the Asus XMP presets. None of the settings had much of a stability impact on anything. At best I could get into the OS, but when I open a browser the BSOD appears again. It's rock solid at DDR3 1600Mhz but that's far below the rated spec, obviously.
The content of the BSOD screens varies a lot except for the SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION message. All the rest of the BSOD content appears to be rather random, AFAIK.
I'd really like to get this running at its rated spec so any advice is welcome.
