Hi guys,
My build is so;
ASUS F1A75-V EVO
AMD A8 3870K 3Ghz (No OC)
Corsair 1866 DDR3 Memory (Serial: CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9)
60GB SSD
Since day one which has been a few months now the PC has been unstable even at stock settings (Except for memory). SPD rating on memory is 1333mhz but corsair Tested at 1866mhz so I always had the memory set to 1866 1.5v and not 1333.
Well after screwing around past couple days I decided to bring the memory down to 1333mhz 1.5v and the system seems stable according to intelburntest and prime95. Though it CAN be stable with the memory at 1866 as well but for some reason it still finds ways of crashing (BSOD) and rebooting in extreme cases. Minor cases are programs crashing. This is with no CPU or GPU OC'ing and everything set to AUTO. As soon as I bring the memory back to 1866, intelburntest and prime95 will usually fail and produce the unstable msg.
Am I using the wrong memory? I bought the ram on Amazon, they said it was compatible but when I received the ram it said AMD Phenom II, Intel i3,i5,i7
This could be why I can never get any stable OC for long periods of time of 3ghz. Even with temps around 50-55*C at 3.3ghz
