Memtest Ran, Ram problem

Frontline · Jun 25, 2013

Ok, so I ran Memtest and CPUZ to try to figure out what was going on and I got a ton of errors during Memtest. How should I procede? The RAM I have has a lifetime warranty so should I contact the manufacturer?

I also wanted to know if running my 1600 ram at 1333 (CPUZ says 668 Frequency) would cause those errors on my Ram? How do I change my ram speed back up to the 1600 is suppose to be rated at?

Sorry for all the questions,
Front

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115215

Edit: The CPUZ CAS says its rated at 9-9-9-24 instead of the 7-7-7-18 on the RAM

Go into BIOS, enable XMP and select the 1600 profile, boot into Win and run CPU-Z, look in the memory tab - it should show a freq of 800 (it DDR - DOUBLE data rate) so take freq (800) times 2 for effective 800 x 2 =1600 and should show the correct timings underneath, if there are problems may need to raise DRAM voltage + 0.05 in the BIOS from it's current value

The highest value in the Bios was 1333. Do I need to increase the voltage to get the 1600?

I think it was running at 1.59v and the RAM says 1.65v on Newegg

Did you enable XMP and select 1600? Do you have the latest BIOS?

Frontline · Jun 25, 2013

Im not sure where to enable it, it should run just as the base speed right? the board and RAM are both 1600 without OC

Tradesman1 · Jun 25, 2013

You have to set it 1600 , check CPU-Z (free downloadable utility) in the Memory tab, if running 1600 it will show 800 if the frequency pane

I know, I have cpuz and it says 668... There is no option in the Bios for 1600, highest is 1333

Can you post screen shots of your BIOS settings, if the mobo you linked to is what you have, I've run 2133 sticks in those

Heres some pictures, sorry if its not what you need, I dont often mess around in Bios.

Imc voltage up to 1.16, DRAM voltage to 1.64, then into the DRAM Timing Control on the Tweaker page, see if that area lets you adjust freq

I think I got it, does this look right?
