RAM - F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM
MoBo: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
Setup will not boot using XMP settings for 2133 MT/s RAM settings. I have attempted to manually configure the UEFI settings to 9-11-10-28-2N as indicated at http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=403 with no luck. I have also tried manually increasing the Voltage slightly with no relief, on both "Auto" and Manual settings, with and without the XMP profile loaded.
I have managed to get it to boot at 1866MT/s, but it proves to be unstable through either use, or 30 seconds of stress testing with "Intel Burn Test".
Boots and runs just fine at 1600.
I would like to ensure that I've fully exhausted all possibilities for configuration before RMA'ing what otherwise appears to be defective memory, as the hassle of the return, as well as the prospect of being without my computer for a week or more are highly unattractive options for me.
The settings I have available for tweaking, as well as their current values, are as follows:
tCL - 9
tRCD - 11
tRP - 10
tRAS - 28
CR - 2N
tWR - 12
tRFC - 128
tRRD - 5
tWTR - 6
tRTP - 6
tFAW - 24
DRAM Voltage - 1.650v
PCH voltage - 1.059
CPU PLL Voltage - 1.832v
VTT Voltage - 1.051v
VCCSA Voltage - 0.925
As the XMP settings do not seem to work, returning a Dr. Debug error indicating "Memory initialization: Programming memory timing information", could you please advise on the exact manual settings to try at 2133MT/s before I give up and assume the product to be defective and returning them?
