Memory under clocking @1333 instead of 1600

Hawkeye128 · Apr 16, 2014

As my title states, my Corsair Vengeance is clocking at 1333 in my bios instead of 1600, when I switch the profile to 1600, the system won't boot and Windows throws a boot error. I can't figure out the issue, as it works just fine on 1333. Currently running 2 exactly the same sets of Vengeance ram (I.e. 4x4gb). Any help is appreciated thank you.

Currently have the CPU clocked at 4.8 and the cpu voltage at ~1.45V (not home right now, can't give exact values). I can post pictures when I get home if needed. Thanks in advance for any help.

set the voltage to 1.5v

seems to be a problem with the board, see it in several reviews. even with bios updates.

this tends to be the form response they give on newegg... you could try that if you got it from there...

Not that this is an answer, but 2 sets of dual channel memory, even if it is the exact same model number, spec etc etc can cause large stability issues. The companies qualify memory sticks to work together and not all do with stability.

That's quite annoying. I hadn't noticed any complaints when I was going through reviews, seems I didn't go through enough. Any other suggestions?

@Danbuscus25 How will setting the voltage for CPU resolve the issue with the RAM (inquiring because I don't know enough about the intricacies)?

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

well, the ram is set to be at 1600 and 1.5v at stock, so set the ram speed to 1600 and the voltage to 1.5 volts, dont touch the cpu voltage.

Hawkeye128 · Apr 16, 2014

I set the RAM speed to 1600 and the voltage to 1.5. Failed to boot, hence why I posted here. Only boots properly at 1333

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

is the cas latency at its stock 9-9-9-24? and make sure it is in the first ram slot.

There's 4 sticks, all slots are filled. all timings are stock.

Danbuscus25 · Apr 16, 2014

huh, that should be fine.... i would test each individual stick 1 at a time, see if 1 of them is bad.

Are you using XMP profile in the BIOS.

Hawkeye128 · Apr 16, 2014

I tried that, still wouldn't boot up.

Hawkeye128 · Apr 21, 2014

Still haven't figured out a solution, any ideas?

vagrantsoul · Apr 21, 2014

Gigabyte get back to you at all / did you reach out to them?

dwatterworth · Apr 21, 2014

I'll say it again, some kits will not run in a stable setup together. This is why manufacturers make quad, tri and dual channel kits.

Hawkeye128 · Apr 25, 2014

Manually set all of the timings, and even cranked the voltage up to 1.66v. Still didn't boot. I decided to just keep them at 1333 and lower the timings instead, since the difference in the gains isn't noticeable. Also, saves me the headache.
