I just installed 6GB more (12GB total now, 6 x 2GB sticks) of the same G.SKILL PI memory and the system won't boot correctly. On boot I get a long beeping sound, it shuts down, restarts then it pops an error saying "The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes of voltages. Last settings in this page may not coincide with current H/W states."
I'm overclocking. BIOS info below. Of course, the problem goes away when I remove the overclock and boot stock (but RAM still set to 1600). Any help is appreciated!
Edit: Adjusted the memory multiplier from 8 to 6 for 1200 rating and system boots. Also I put the memory multiplier back to 8 and loosened timings to 8-8-8-24 and system boots. Should I expect to have those loosened timings with 12GB of the PI memory?
Bumping qpi/vtt up to ~1.33 didn't help when timings were kept at 7-8-7-24 (thought it would) - perhaps dram voltage needs 1.66?
Advanced Memory settings
Multiplier = 8 (for 1600)
Performance = Standard
Timings are 7 8 7 24 - rest auto except Cmd rate is 2
Advanced Voltage Settings
LLC = Level 2
CPU Vcore = 1.325v
QPI/VTT = 1.275v
CPU PLL = 1.800v
QPI PLL = 1.100v
IOH Core = 1.120v
ICO I/O = 1.500v
ICO Core = 1.100v
DRAM = 1.64v
Advanced Freq Settings:
CPU clock = 20x (4ghz)
QPI clock = x36
Uncore = x16
BCLK = 200
XMP = disabled
CPU clock drive = 700mV
PCI Express Clock Drive = 700mV
