RipjawsZ F3-19200CL10Q2-64GBZHD with Asus Rampage Extreme IV ?

[Tenchi]

Hi!

Maybe i want to upgrade my RAM because Adobe Premiere and After Effects can use this amount easy.

The thing is:

i'am not shure if my 3960X with the Asus REIV can handle this RAM @2400Mhz


The thing is:

i use Corsair XMS3 Dominator GT DIMM Kit 32GB PC3-14900U CL9-10-9-27 (DDR3-1866) (CMT32GX3M4X1866C9)

this is a very good Kit and it should run @2.133Mhz with higher timings.

But i can't run the Kit @2.133Mhz CL10 or CL11.

So i'm afraid that the 2.400Mhz never work.

Is the Problem my 3960X CPU (memorycontroller)?

with loading the xmp profile the alreading run @ CPU VCCSA Manual Voltage = [1.250]
(but i can lower it to 0,85V and it runs stable @default speed 1866Mhz CL9).


Another Question is:

can i run the KIT @DDR3-2400Mhz without extra overclocking?

Has the mobo a ram/clock divider for 2400Mhz?
(i want to use 2400Mhz with default speed or only the Asus OC (Asus Boards runs Turbo Mode all cpu Core @3,9Ghz (insted of 2 core @3,9Ghz)


Thank you very much for your help!

Ok i can run my mem (now) @DDR3-2133Mhz @CL10-11-10-32-298-2T

i did the following changes:

Set AI OC: manual
Set Tweak Mode 1
CPU VCCSA Voltage: 1,250V
DRAM Voltage: 1,53V


What did you think:

can i give the RipjawsZ F3-19200CL10Q2-64GBZHD a try ?

Which timing can i expect when i run the Kit "only" @DDR3-2133Mhz ?

EDIT:

Are the two fans needed for installation !?

[Tradesman]

That's the only mobo GSkill has certified for this set, thus far, so they should have the settings to run them, would think they should run under XMP with maybe a VCCSA adjustment, at 2133 think you should be able to run CL9 (i.e. not the same but I've run the 32GB/CL9 Z and X 2133 sets at 2400 with CL10) would think 9-11-11-31 at 2133. Not sure what exact OC might be required, but with your CPU I'd be running it faster than needed anyway would guess maybe need 4.2 or so

Hi!

here is a picture what i mean:

http://www.gskill.com/news.php?index=531

the cpu (here a 3930K) run @default speed 3,20ghz the memory runs @2400Mhz with 1:18 (FSB : DRAM).

[Tradesman]

Well, seeings believing, I haven't worked with the mobo/CPU combo which is why I referenced the set with the mobo as GSkill certified, have to tag this in with my reference posts

[Tenchi]

I will give it a try, i ordered the Kit hope it works without problems.

Hope it will works without the fans too..
and hope to lower the voltage a little.

[Tradesman]

Let us know when you get them in and running

[Tenchi]

A few hours ago i got the Kit!

it was recognized very well by the bios, and shows the whole 64gigs .

Loading Profile 1
rebooting
Win7 starts

BUT, Prime95 wont run stable a few sec. a worker stopped!

I checked the Bios setting again:

CPU VCCSA 1,25V
RAM Voltage 1,65V

loading Profile 2 doesn't help


Edit:
BIOS 1404

[Tradesman]

Can you post your BIOS settings

[Tenchi]

These are my DDR3-2400 settings:









I tried to run the mem @ DDR-2133Mhz CL9-11-11-31-2

it seems to be stable with:

CPU VCCSA 0,865V
RAM Voltage 1,535V
But have to run Prime95 much more.


I'am a little bit concerned about the heat of the mem. The Kit runs very hot (ok we have @home 22-25 degrees).

But the anoying thing is:

i cant use the included g.skill memory fans on the Asus Rampage Extreme IV!
Because i have a GTX 680 SLI - and NEED - the first PCIe Slot.

So i remove my prolimatech megahalem cpu cooler and replace it with the Noctua NH-D14 (this one have a 14cm fan in the middle). Then a have to isolate (hope its the right english word) - the fan brackets because the have contact with the GTX680 in the first PCIe Slot. I think the mem temp is better with the noctua, but the memory will run hot with prime95.

BTW:

this is my Case Lian Li TYR PC-X2000F:

I think it have a very good cooling solution (replaced the 140mm cooler wit BeQuiet Silent Wings).

On the fans, would actually have to have the rig in my hands to offer a suggestion or two, I seldom even run the fans that come with some of the sets (which is why I have some lying around), haven't really had a need for them, I normally stick them in builds just to add some color or for a WoW factor for some clients

Hi!

I sent the Kit back,
in my opinion the RipjawsZ heatspreaders are to "fat", so they getting hotter as a kit of dominators (they have high but slim heatspreaders).

I will waiting for a 64GB DDR3 2133-CL9 Kit @1,5V.
(Corsair will release such a kit).

One Question:

are the heatspreaders of the Ares-Series slim as the RipjawsZ ?

Are there plans for a 64GB Kit Ares memory?

[Tradesman]

On the Ares, I'm not GSkill, so not sure what their plans are, I wouldn't bet on it, but who knows, I know I've been hoping to see 32 or 64GB in the Snipers, but apparently nothing is planned there, which is why I went 32GB in both the Z and the X models, and interestingly enough, I think the Zs dissipate heat a little better than the Xs
