I have been reading along on this fourm for quite a while to learn about overclocking and such while i had my old Q6600. About 4 months ago i was given an offer to sell that machine and i thought it would be a great opportunity to build a new i7. I have never had any problems with it and now i decided i want to actually get up and max my machine out. When i built the machine i went with 6 gigs of kingston 1600 memory and it was default clocked at 1333 and i didnt really care at the time because it wasnt much of a jump, but I reciently purchased some more expensive DDR3 2000 memory from kingston (KHX2000C8D3T1K3/6GX).
System Specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7 975 Extreme
MotherBoard: GA-EX58-UD4P
Current Memory: 12gigs DDR3-2000
This memory states its XMP compatable but on profile one it freezes at windows loading screen, and on profile two it wont post. This was true as well for the older 1600 memory i had before.
Right now the memory is running at 1333mhz with voltage at 1.5v. I hear this is the standard JEDEC speed or something. How can i get this setup to run stable at 2000mhz. I already spoke with gigabyte about this issue and they said the mother board is fine and it might be my processor, and i already spoke with kingston and they said their product is working fine and that this processor is only rated for memory up to 1066mhz (I dont believe that as its already running at 1333 which is faster than 1066).
Any help or input would be greatly appriciated.
