G.Skill F3-17000CL11Q-16GBXL memory modules at 2133 Mhz ( or higher ??)

[G.SKILL]

Hi,

Please raising the CPU voltage(VTT/VCCSA) to 1.25v and the “TRFC” adjust to 208 for another shot?

[fiatuno49]

I can run @ 2133 mhz but the main problem stays.......

I have been getting a weird issue with the current 2133 clocking. So basically , if I use the settings you provided to me and the computer is already powered on, it will successfully boot, but if the computer fully powers down, then the initial attempt at booting fails. If I simply go into bios, and exit without changing anything, it will boot since the computer is already powered on.

What's next please ??

Hi

can you running the Memtest or test the RAM individually, ensure all the RAMs is fine.
if still no luck, will suggest contact the RMA department for the replacement!

[fiatuno49]

The 4 memory sticks are tested by memtest for 10 steps separately........no errors found

Thanks

TC

Note: I'm from Belgium...how en where RMA the modules to (eventually)....... http://www.gskill.com/rma.php is that correct ????

Might contact GSkill at rma@gskill.com, think they are working on an rma center in Europe

[cyde]

Hmmmm, starting to wonder if maybe one of my sticks are defective as well since I'm having the same problem as fiatuno49.

[Tradesman]

It's a possibility

[fiatuno49]

Back to report

Hi all concerned ,

Now it's sure it is a bios problem.........i rma'd my memory real quick and without any hassle but that did not solve the problem.Thanks G.Skill
Today i looked at asrock's website and found a

"beta" bios L2.01 8/23/2012 Support Windows 8 "

Instand flashed it and guess what...........with mostly the default bios settings my computer booted 2133 mhz memory without any problem.....it's no question anymore if the computer is already powered on or not

Thanks Tradesman,

I have de latest bios 1.90 ,enabled XMP, 2133 profile and VTT to 1.156 but ..........I have been getting a weird issue with the current 2133 clocking. So basically , if I use the settings you provided to me and the computer is already powered on, it will successfully boot, but if the computer fully powers down, then the initial attempt at booting fails. If I simply go into bios, and exit without changing anything, it will boot since the computer is already powered on.

Any suggestions ???

Greetz TC

Case solved and thanks to Tradesman and GSkill for their help

[Tradesman]

Glad to hear it, sorry it took so long. Wish the mobo makers would put a little more time into their BIOSs and have them ready to go

[fiatuno49]

With mostly the default bios settings I now run them @2200 mhz
