I was wondering if someone could help me.
I have a set of 2 X 4GB (8GB) of Corsair Vengeance 1600 (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) ram. I'm having trouble getting my ram to run at its rated speed of 1600. My rig is currently OC'd to 3.9GHz (perfectly stable) with the following settings.
CPU Multiplier: x19.5
CPU Frequency: 3900 MHz
CPU-NB Frequency: 2600 MHz
DRAM Frequency: 1333 Mhz
DRAM Timing: 8-8-8-22-30-1T
HT Link Frequency: 2200 MHz
CPU Voltage: 1.477500 V
CPU-NB Voltage: 1.260166 V
DRAM Voltage: 1.525 V
NB Voltage: Auto
I've tried setting the DRAM Frequency to 1600 with Timings of 9-9-9-24-41-2T (as per SPD info). But as soon as I start Prime95 the workers will stop. I've tried setting the FSB to 240 and adjusted all the other variables to compensate. Prime95 workers will start stopping within a couple of seconds. I've tried increasing the CPU-NB and DRAM voltages all the way to 1.45V and 1.7V respectively but it didn't help.
My last attempt, on the advice of a memory guru on the Corsair memory forum, I increased CPU-NB Voltage from 1.260166V to 1.458766V and DRAM Voltage from 1.525V to 1.648V. When I started Prime95 all workers stopped within 2 seconds, like before.
I would appreciate any advice on what I can try to get my ram to run at its rated speed of 1600. Thank you
