ASRock 870 Extreme3 + Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

Try it with a Command Rate of 2T.

Did you run memtest on each stick individually?

Ok.

Have not had a chance to let memtest run yet. Been busy.

Whats odd is that I *think* i get it stable, then BOOM, BSOD. Yesterday, got one and it was a memory corruption error (something like that).

Grrr....

[thecoffeeguy]

So I think I got the system stable. ::fingers crossed::


So if it is stable, my next step is to get the memory to run at DDR3-1600.
Right now, in the BIOS, its set to DDRE-1333.

Best way to get it to 1600 speed?

Thx

Try it's rated 2T

[thecoffeeguy]

Try it's rated 2T

Ok. That is easy enough to set.

But how does that get me to DDR3-1600?

Also wanted to add, been memtesting my memory.

Just got done with another stick. Passed 8 memtests 100% success as well as the Windows 7 memory diagnostic test. I have a pretty good feeling my memory is all set.

With that, my settings are:

8-9-8-24-40-1T at 1.604v

Trying to get things stable as they are and then can move on, NemesisChild and I have suggested go to 2T about three times now, for us to help , we need your help too, leaving it at 1T defeats you trying to get help

Alright, I will do that and test.
It seems pretty stable at 1T lately though, that is why i did not change it.

I recently had to switch my new RipjawsX (in sig) from 1T to 2T.
Every stress test (Everest & HyperPI) passed with flying colors at 1T, even overclocked at 1907MHz.
However, I would get random BSOD's while playing BFBC2, even at 1887MHz.
Switching to 2T (as rated with my CL9 timings) solved the problem, no more BSOD's.

Cool.
Thank you for the info.
I just changed the settings today from 1T to 2T. So far so good. Rift and BFBC2 running great.

My timings are thus:

8-9-8-24-40-2T

1.603 volts

So the trick is now, assuming this is stable, getting the memory to run at DDR3-1600.

[Tradesman]

If stable now, then go ahead and try to kick them up, stable now is indicative that the sticks are good so it may be finetuning the BIOS - and actually now at 2T, may just pop and run at 1600

[NemesisChild]

If you bump them up to 1600, remember to change to CL9 timings.
But there will be little performance difference between 1333MHz@ CL8 versus 1600MHz@ CL9.
So it's your call, may just give 1600 a shot and if successful, call it a day...lol
