Windows crashing when XMP profile is applied (Patriot Viper II Sector 7)

theplague · Nov 7, 2014

Hey there, I'm trying to apply the advertised settings of my 12GB of RAM but it's causing Windows to crash when I get to the desktop with several memory access errors.

Here's the memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220498

The settings that I tried to apply:

.

And my current stable settings:

.

Any advise is appreciated, thanks!

Your processor doesn't support 1600

Im a bit confused. Did you try XMP and not edit anything and it didn't work or are you entering the XMP settings manually...

CPUz screenshots would help... specifically the SPD and Memory tabs please (host at the site, not thirsd party if you could)

While that is true, those processors had NO trouble running 1600Mhz or greater. Look at the other platforms ratings and look what they can run. Rating doesn't mean much in this case.

Is your memory in the top 3 slots of the board? (the three blue ones)

The i7 930? I'm surprised in that case...

Technically it only supports 1066MHz.
That said, you should update your signature.

I just selected the XMP profile from the list, did not tweak it manually.

Yes, tripple channel mode.

Sorry, just updated it.

Again true, but it can easily handle the 1600MHz (not for you ATM, but for the OP and rayrays clarity).

You may need to add some voltage to the IO/SA...shouldn't have to but... its worth a try.

Ok. I was on my way out from the office that was a qquick post.

I've been well over 1600MHz on X58, just stating the spec sheet

1800MHz was easy with X58 for me. I wouldn't worry one bit about the spec sheet, OP.

I'd look at upping the QPI and Uncore voltages.

EarthDog · Nov 7, 2014

Well, slow or fast rayray, 1600MHz is not a problem for that chipset/cpu.

Again think of Intel... X99 supports 2133Mhz ram...I run 3000MHz. Z97 is 1600 as well.. does 3K no problems. 1600Mhz on that platform should be easy breezy.

@theplague, X58 should work fine with 12GB RAM but for this capacity you have to sometimes raise QPI/VTT voltage. Try something like +0.1-0.15V. It will stabilize memory controller.
When X58 was released there were no higher speed 4GB modules on the market but boards were supporting it. At the end all depends from memory controller. Your memory settings in the 1st post are fine for this platform.
