Hello! I left a review on newegg.com and was told to come check out the forums for some tips to help get the most performance from the F3-10666CL7Q-16GBXH kit I purchased. I tried looking up my memory model and motherboard, but I didn't get helpful results, so I made this thread.
My current setup:
Intel Core i7 2600K @ 4.5GHz 1.260V
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H - F10 BIOS
F3-10666CL7Q-16GBXH running @ 7-7-7-21 1.512V
I was happy to see the tight timings working with no problem. Looking to overclock, I went ahead and did a few simple memtest86+ runs to make sure everything was up and running. Had a few errors that were fixed by increasing the VCCIO voltage from 1.05V to 1.10V (+0.05).
The timings scale: I get 1600 CL9, and 1866 CL10 with no errors.
Now, the only issue is I can't get my system to boot at 2133 no matter what I try. Also, I haven't been able to tighten my timings at 1866 to anything under 10-10-10-30. 1600 CL8 causes the motherboard speaker to continuously beep and never boots.
Tweaking the DRAM voltage hasn't helped. I've been having the same luck at 1.5V, trying up to 1.65V, but to no avail. Hoping someone here can shed some knowledge/advice
Thanks in advance!
