Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5
CPU: Intel Core i7-950 3.06GHz Stock cooling
Memory: F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD
Power: 850w corsair
Windows 7 64bit Pro
GIGABYTE chart for this motherboard says this memory as working in triple channel
Im as a rule not an overclocker i usually buy better faster components and runs them at the stated settings.
So this is a new build i first tried default bios settings enabling XMP profile for the memory it loads into windows but BSOD after a few min.
Next i left everything at default but changed the multiplier to 1600 and dram to 1.6v rest to auto and ran a day or so but lockedup once.
Last ive tried 10x133 for 1333 timings at auto (shows 999241t with cpuz) dram 1.6v and this has run for serval days of regular use with this the cpu is set in bios as 23x133=3.06
but in cpu-z it shows 24x13=3.19. This seems fine running at 3.19 the cpu temps at idle run 39 and 55-60 with use.
So the main question is i bought faster ram to run at higher speeds 2000 would be nice if i can run the CPU around the 3.2 range since it seems fine atm with stock colling but anything stable 1600 or higher with alittle lower timmings would be good also.
i have read thru all the different post that have the same listed memory and have played with some of the settings recommended but most of them have CPUs running around 4.0 and im not doing that so im sure setting would be alittle diff.
