I've got 4 sticks of F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH memory (total of 8GB). According to the specs, this memory should run at 6-8-6-24-2T timing with 1.5V. However, those settings seem to give my 2600K processor w/ Asus P8P67 Pro m/b fits.
If I leave things on Auto or use the XMP profile, then the board keeps "bouncing" (restarting, blinking the red LED lights by the memory and CPU), sometimes endlessly. I've tried forcing the settings to DDR3-1600, 6-8-6-24-2T, 1.5V and had instability (crash Prime95, not blue screen). Increasing to DDR3-1600, 6-8-6-24-2T, 1.6V still has some instability, but not as bad. Increasing to DDR3-1600, 8-8-8-24-2T, 1.6V is stable enough to benchmark. I paid for CAS6 memory that runs at 1.5, but it seems I have CAS8 that needs 1.6V. What do you recommend?
