  • Gskill Flare 1800 CL7 help!

    Hi all, Ive been having these problems for the longest time. I havent really posted this here since ive been trying to find solutions for myself. But so far I've had no luck.

    Im using these Flares (F3-14400CL7D-4GBFLS), and I have no problems running them on their rated speeds and timings, at 1800 7-8-7-24 2T. I can SuperPi 32M and Prime95 (on blend for a few hours) without any errors. However, the problems appear when I go beyond the stock speeds. Running the same timings on 1T in particular can have me pass SuperPi 32M but gives me either a ROUNDING ERROR or a BSOD that says "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" on Prime95 within 20mins. I tried upping the DRAM Volts to as high as 1.70 (stock is at 1.65) and the CPU/NB volts as high as 1.45v, but still I get the same errors with no clue if im doing it right because the errors happen within the same timeframe. Within minutes only. I also tried tightening my timings to 6-8-6-24 on 2T, but I still get the same errors.

    So my questions are the following:

    1) Am I doing anything wrong? Im certain that tightening my timings on 1T is possible because I've seen it done with the same setup. Im just not so sure if I have bad sticks or not.

    2) What are the steps I should follow when tightening my timings? I might have just overlooked a minor detail or two. Im not so sure if Im doing all this right, because as far as I know there is no definitive guide for setting up timings on an AMD platflorm, or ive just had no luck looking for them if ever there is one.

    Hope to hear from you guys soon.

    Cheers and thanks!

    BTW my PC's specs are the following:

    AMD 1090T
    ASUS Crosshair IV Formula (BIOS 2002)
    Gskill Flare 1800 CL7 F3-14400CL7D-4GBFLS

    If there's any more info you'd need to answer my questions/s let me know!

    Diff between 1T and 2T does have boost at 1T, though not all systems can run it, even with identical setups, sometimes some can others can't, may want to look at boosting DRAM and/or CPU/NB voltages a hair at a time when tightening down on the timings, say + .01 at a time


    Pls offer comments on support I provide, HERE, in order to help me do a better job here:

      I understand that some setups have preferences for the command rate, but my problem is im not able to tighten up my timings for both 1T and 2T. Even on 2T, i get errors

        Post some pictures of BIOS. What settings are being used? CPU-NB Frequency ~2700MHz?

        Thank you

          Im currently not able to post a picture of what my BIOS looks like since im at work. But i pretty much have everything remembered.

          Yes, NB freq is at 2700mhz.
          CPU/Nb went as high as 1.44-1.45volts
          RAm volts as high as 1.7v

          1090t was OC'd to 4.0ghz, 225x18 just to get 1800 for the ram freq.

          What other info should i supply you with? I wont be home by tonighght, so i wont be able to post any screenshots.

            CPU-NB should only need around 1.20V-1.25V

            I would like pics to see all settings, in case you or the motherboard configured some settings incorrectly. Otherwise, that kit should work fine. It is a great fit.

            Thank you

              I will try to post pics as soon as I get the chance, but that wont be for another 8 hours.

              I'll try my best to recall everything right now.

              CPU ratio: 18
              Base Freq: 225
              Turbo core disabled
              Dram settings 7-8-7-24-1T (everything else was left on auto, including drive settings)

              CPU and CPU/NB load line calibration are both set to auto

              cpu vcore: 1.45v
              cpu/nb volts: 1.36
              Dram volts: 1.7
              nb volts: 1.25

              everything else was left in auto.

              c1e disabled
              spread spectrum disabled

              everything else is pretty much at stock setting

                I couldnt find my camera as of the moment, so I took down everything in my BIOS instead.

                    The Flare kits are great when running at stock speeds but offer little overclocking headroom.
                    Mainly because of the tight timings and higher memory with the Flare IC.
                    I have two sets of the 2x2GB DDR3-2000 Flares, rated at 7-9-7-24 (1.65v).
                    Try these timings when going above 1800MHz and set your HT voltage to 1.25v.
