G-SKILL F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM and ASUS P8H77-V

[hiruma21]

Okay, I have been scouring the internet and forums to find a way to do this but no good thing so far

My setup is
i5-3570
ASUS P8H77-V
G-SKILL F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM

I have updated BIOS for the motherboard to the latest version

I want to get my memory to run in 2133 MHz but everytime I try to do so it says overclocking failed. I have played around with VCCSA from 0.925 to 1.1 V but it does not help. DRAM voltage is fixed at 1.65V.

Please help me! I will really appreciate it

Put VCCSA back on Auto, and instead try raising VCCIO to 1.100V. You may also need to bump the DRAM voltage slightly from the rated 1.65V. Also manually adjust the four primary timings to 9-11-10-28, w/ all the sub-timings left on Auto.

How strange-- Have you talked to g-skill? All I had to do with this exact same ram on my intel build was hand set the voltage and timings to what g-skill reccomends -- Had no problem booting from there.

You shouldn't have to set anything but the DRAM voltage @ 1.65 (Mine actually stayed quite stable when I uv'd it to 1.6 for giggles). Does it run stable at lower frequencies?

It seems there is no VCCIO setting on ASUS motherboard. I did bump VCCSA to 1.1 and DRAM Voltage to 1.66 V and it did not work. What is the save range for DRAM Voltage?

You shouldn't need to mess with VCCSA. Try setting your voltage to 1.7. It will probably show up in red, but this is higher voltage RAM, and will be quite fine (I have set it much higher than this for MHz pushes in the past)

If you can't get it to post or even boot at the RAM's rated frequency, you should run it one setting lower and see if it is fully stable.

Sure there is... if it isn't showing up, then you may need to update the BIOS to the newest revision.

ASUS P8H77-V BIOS version 1103 (release date 10/12/2012)
I tried all frequency between 1600 and 2133 and none works. "bad motherboard"?

Below is the screenshot of DRAM Timing, I did not understand why the value of CHA and CHB stays the same even though I have set it to be 9.

I did contact G-SKILL and followed their method but did not work as well.

Post pic's of CPU-Z open to both the Memory and SPD tabs. Under the SPD tab, make sure to take a pic. w/ each of the two slots selected in the drop-down menu (assuming your kit consists of 2 x 4GB modules).

If no frequencies work-- Then you may have a problem with the RAM.

Have you tried testing one stick in every slot on your board, then boot it @ 1600 9-9-9-28-2T with 1.5-1.65 voltage?

If one works, and the other doesn't, you know right away what the problem is. If neither works, it could possibly be the board, or both sticks.

Set VCCSA back to Auto, DRAM voltage to 1.66-1.67V, and adjust the timings to 9-12-11-30 w/ Command Rate set to 1.

DRAM Freq 2133 MHz? Tried to do as what you said but failed to boot up

 

[redduc900]

Remove one stick of RAM, the remaining one installed to the 1st DIMM slot. Reset CMOS, enter the BIOS and manually adjust only the timings (9-12-11-30-1T) and voltage (1.65V) at DDR3-2133. Or just enable the DDR3-2133 XMP profile. If the PC POSTs, then boot to Memtest86+ installed to a thumb drive, and check the one DRAM module for stability. Then repeat with the other module.

This memory should run without problems on auto settings.

Probably all was already in this thread, just to be sure make all steps again.

1. reset BIOS / apply default settings
2. enable XMP profile in 1st BIOS tab
3. change memory clock to 2133 ( auto will be 2000 )
4. change memory voltage to 1.65V ( XMP should set it like that )
5. change VCCIO and VCCSA to 1.1V
6. check if its booting

Also try memory in slots 1/3 and 2/4 and if it still won't boot then try each stick in each slot.

If you make it work then run memtest. If no then contact ASUS support as this is standard Hynix BFR/CFR memory that should be working the same as other kits from their memory QVL list.
