Ram Help


Recommended Posts

So i have 2x Kingston KHX1600C9D3/4GX (4gb), from my research it should run at 1600mhz, but for some reason it runs at 1333 and 1.5v. is it okay to turn it up 1600mhz and 1.65v ?

1.65v isn't bad for any chip. Back when ram ran at 1.8v or higher, Intel chips would burn out and AMD was the only one that could handle it. Now you can't find ram that goes above 1.65v if it works on Intel motherboards.

 

Once again, since I don't have the ram I would just check Cpuz SPD and see what the X.M.P profiles are. My guess it supports 1600 the ops board just down clocked it like they all do.

So i tried to up the speed on the ram up to 1600 and 1.65v and it was fine. But when i applied the new ram settings and the overclock my mobo would apply the settings but after I hit f10 to save my settings my pc would act like it loss power for a second but it would continue to reboot but my overclock would be throttle in occt  and the ram would be at 1600/1.65v. I double checked my power management settings in the bios. Then I lower the speed back to 1333 and my overclock was stable. any suggestions ? or should i just buy new ram ?
