I recently built my system with the following specs:
G-skill sniper 2x4gb (2 kits) with 1866 speed rating:
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
Timing 9-10-9-28
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V
i7 3860 CPU
MSI motherboard (the one with 8 memory slots) with 2011 CPU slot
MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) LGA 2011 ATX Motherboard
670GTX NiVIDIA
The system was working great and stable with XMP profile enabled with the 16gb sniper memory running at 1866 without any changes in any other settings. I don't overclock my CPU.
Then G-skill Ripjaw memory kit 4x4gb (with 1866 speed rating) went on sale and I couldn't help myself so I bought it.
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL
DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
Timing 9-10-9-28
Cas Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V
I put the Ripjaws kit in my system for a total of 32gb of RAM. Everything runs stable without any tweaking at 1600. However, when I try to set the XMP profile to 1866 (without any other setting changes) the system crashes.
I know how to access manual settings for memory in the bios but have very little experience of ever changing voltages. Please give me your experience on mixing sniper and ripjaw and how to get them to run at 1866 on my system. Thanks for all your help.
