RAM: G.SKILL F3-12800CL9T2-24GBRL (6 x 4GB)
Mobo: ASUS Rampage III Formula (bios version 0505)
CPU: Intel Core i7 980x
Hi,
I'm having trouble achieving the rated specs for my ram. The motherboard defaults the ram to 1333MHz at 1.667v instead of the ram's rated specs of 1600MHz at 1.5v. When I attempt to change the settings to achieve the rated specs, the computer won't start (won't POST). What are the bios settings I should be using to achieve 1600MHz?
Furthermore, I've read that I shouldn't use voltages over 1.65v or I risk damaging my CPU. Is that correct? Also, how do I make sure I'm running in X.M.P.?
Thanks,
Brad
