Kingston 2x4Gb 1600Mhz RAM issue

bvdub · Dec 20, 2011

Hello guys!

First of all, sorry if my questions are obvious, I'm not really familiar with this field yet.

So I have a little issue with my computer.

I have a P8P67 mb, with an Intel 2500k processor, and a Kingston 2x4GB HyperX XMP Blu DDR3 1600MHz CL9 KIT memory.

My problem is that the system runs only in 1333Mhz. As soon as I change it to 1600Mhz, the system become completely unstable, and it freezes in different intervals. I tried to use the recommenned timings (9-9-9-27), which are set up automatically when i turn on XMP profile in the BIOS (i tried to set it up manually, didn't help). In 1600Mhz the DRAM voltage is 1,65, in 1333Mhz it's 1,5V. The CPU voltage is around 1,2V in both settings.

Do you have any ideas what's wrong here?

Edit: I updated my BIOS, nothing changed. I also ran memory tests, but nothing revealed.

Thank you in advance!

With the timings set to 9-9-9-27 and the DRAM voltage set to 1.65V at DDR3-1600, adjust the VCCIO voltage to 1.125-1.15V.

I also ran memory tests, but nothing revealed.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but does Memtest86+ pass without errrors?

That's what I meant.

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try that out when I'm at home and I will post the results

I did what you told me. Prime95 was running for an hour without any problem, but as soon as i started playing with a game the system freezed, and the motherboard gave me a large, continous beep noise

Any other suggestions?

Fill out this BIOS template for the P8P67 w/ all of your current Prime stable settings. Replace the settings in the template w/ your own...

... and w/ CPU-Z open to the CPU tab monitor the Vcore while running Prime, and the core temp's using either Real Temp or Core Temp. Then post the results in this thread.
