F3-17000CL9D and Extreme IV Maxus

[TRDSpec]

Hello Guy,

I bought 4 sticks of 4GB memory for my Extreme IV MOBO.
They read on my bois as default for 1600MHZ and timing 9-9-9-28
What should I do to make it 2133mhz and 9-11-9-28 as the ram specification state.
Please note that I installed the fan and the voltage is 1.647.
I need to know which values should I change and very detailed reply would help me much as I'm newbie to pc building.
Thanks in advance

What CPU are you running

chances are he's got either a 2500k or 2600k. Regardless, just enable XMP under the overclocking option in the main BIOS screen for the MAx 4 extreme. Tell us how it goes.

Not all CPUs will run 2133 at 2133, depends on the CPU. May have to downclock the speed and if desired tighten the timings as Onslaught2k3 has done...also is this a single set of 4 sticks or two sets of two, if two sets od two may have to make voltage adjustments to the DRAM and MC

That's very true. However, I fixed my issues simply by putting the RAM sticks in proper order (such a noob overlook on my part - been working on computers for over 10 years since I was a teen) simply by putting the matching kits (serial #s, obvious are one after the other) in the two red slots and two black slots respectively. I think it's time to resurrect the old thread I hijacked simply to update. Tradesman/GSKILL TECH are good admins on this forum and are very helpful. Glad to see you got the admin acc't going Tradesman. But regardless OP, tell us how it goes.

Thanks guys for the overwhelming replies. I'm running 2600K and I bought two sperate sets.
The first set was installed to the black slots and the red to the red slots. So should I change any voltage number ?
I will try to find the XMP on my BIOS and see how it will go...

I just did that and the BOIS says its running @ 2133

what stress benchmark should I run to make sure that the memory is stable ?

[Tradesman]

There's Prime, Passmark has a testing tool, SiSandra, Memtest86....Prime Blend is used often to stress the DRAM
