Hi,
First off, here are the details of the rig:
Asus Rampage V Extreme/U3.1 running bios 3202
32GB Ripjaws V 3200 MHz at 16CAS
Intel i7 5930K
Samsung MZVPV512HDGL-00000 M.2 PCIe NVME
2x Gigabyte GTX 1080 Founders in SLI
The problem: I can't get the RAM to overclock to 3200 MHz reliably.
What I've done:
1. I followed Chino's guide - went from 0.8V to 1.3V - couldn't get the ram to work.
2. I tried to enter the XMP data manually, but that got me the bF QCODE.
3. Tried Asus' EzTuning option in the bios - it did overclock the ram to 2400 MHz, but even then it wasn't exactly stable (some errors in MemTest and HyperPi).
4. I loosened the screws a bit on the CPU block just to be sure I didn't bend the PCB - didn't help.
5. When I run on stock settings, I can get MemTest to do 400% coverage without issues.
I know the XMP profile for the Ripjaws is not meant for X99, but I was hoping I could replicate what Chino did - I would be able to make the RAM work.
The most common effect I see is that the machine only sees 24GB of RAM once I start overclocking.
I am only getting into overclocking and a lot of the things still are very new to me, so this might be a nub question.
I can still return the Ripjaws and try to get Dominator Platinums. I need to make that decision by the end of today, but quite frankly, I don't know if that will help.
I understand Dominators have their XMP profiles tuned for X99. But is this enough? For now, I just want the RAM to work with the advertised overclock.
I'll start learning more about manual overclocking later on.
So the questions I am hoping you can help me answer is: should I return the RAM and go for Dominators in hope that they will work with XMP out of the box? If yes, which ones should I get?
Or is there still anything else I might try to see if the Ripjaws will work?
