first my basic system info
Big Bang Xpower II bios rev. 1.2
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (8 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9Q2-32GBZL (8stick matched kit)
Intel I-7 3820
XFX 7970 Black Edition Double Helix
Samsung 830 256 GB
Using the above listed ram this was a new system build. Everything runs great together @ default speeds(1600mhz). When/IF I attempt to run the ram at it's advertised speeds(1866mh) via XMP Profile or manual settings system fails to post and just reboots itself a few times before finally dieing and then I have to reset the bios.
It should be noted that while I feel I am a competant computer person having built quite a few systems, OCing and messing with RAM timings is definatly not somehting I am educated about, moving along here is a short list of things I have done
- Windows extended Memtest on each ram module individually - pass
- XMP Profile on single sticks - passed for every stick in the set
- since the prior worked, figured lemme try 2 modules in XMP -FAIL
- attempted with some tech help over the phone from gskill manually setting mem profiles (I have no clue what voltages should be what for a stable 1866 profile and the gskill guys seemed uncertain of MSI's bios) set frequency to 1866
MSI Phone support said they would get back to me but alas, they have not..........
I have seen people reporting "OMG 32gb @ 1866 with xmp set, it's greeat" soo am I setting or failing to setup somehting wrong in manual mode? or is it more likely despite memtest that I have a bad kit OR that something is wrong with my MB?
Any Help greatly appreciated
Side note, I am not overly familiar with manually setting up ram timings/voltages
