I can only get my 4 stick of 8gb memory to run at 2200mhz.
Yes I understand the difference is negligible but darned it if i'm spending more than $1,000.00
for a computer upgrade, I want perfection. If it says 2400mhz I want it to run at 2400mhz.
On the advise of Asrock I tested each stick individually and they all ran singly at
2400 mhz.
Then I tested them in 16gb Dual Channel and they also ran flawlessly at 2400mhz
But when I try to run 32gb, all 4 at 2400mhz OCT detects a CPU Error after 6 seconds.
I've tried everything with timings and voltages so let's not get into trouble shooting
I believe that there could be three causes
1. The Mother Board Simply won't do it.
2. The Modules which were bought as 2 16gb packs are slightly out of tune
3. The fault is with the memory compatibility with my motherboard.
So these are my options
1. Buy a 32gb set of the same ram. Since sold as 32gb set they are going to be less variations
in timings
2. Buy different Brand available to me is the PNY Anarchy 2400 or PNY Anarchy 2666
both sold in 16 gb packages made up of two 8gb modules
I'm limited in options because these are available at my local Frys and it's easy to return if I have issues.
Well not so easy, I have to travel 40 minutes each way to get to Frye's.
So which do you all think is the best choice.?
System Rig
Asrock Fatality Z97x Killer Motherboard
I-7 4790k CPU
Gigabyte Gamer1 GTX 980-TI Video Card
Corsair Veangance Pro Series DDR3 2400mhz
