Hey everyone, I recently upgraded my computer; and I'm having some problems with some of the new/old components.

Firstly I have 8GB of patriot 2133Mhz RAM, and when I try to set the timings & frequency in the bios to overclock it, it keeps setting back to 1866Mhz (I'm using a MSI Gaming 970 AMD motherboard), I have tried lots of things including setting different timings to what my RAM manufacturer recommends, using the AMD & Intel version of XMP & setting different voltages & frequency's. None have worked so far & I can't seem to find a solution so If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Secondly my desktop has been having strange glitches recently, they are small anomalies that appear in the same place & are exactly the same size everytime I see them; I added 2 MSI Gaming R9 270X's in crossfire to my system with a 750W PSU & since then these problems have been occurring. I have tried upgrading to the beta drivers & down grading to the older ones, which again hasn't worked. Another thing is everytime I try to screenshot them to add them to this forum post I get an image that doesn't contain the glitches. I am looking for advice on anything I can do to solve this problem, anything would help.

Crossfire has been causing me alot of problems recently, so I think I'll sell the 2 cards and by a single one in the near future, so if anyone can recommend a card for around £300 it would be appreciated; but until then I would like to try and solve the problem.

Thanks for any help that you provide.
Callan.

No I'm using the 6300, it's not overclocked at the moment; but plan to on the weekend when I have the time. Why's that?

First of all don`t touch your ram, focus on the crossfire set-up 1st.
I think it is another driver issue.

1. Download DDU (search the internet)
2. Run DDU in safemode
3. Uninstall your GPU in the device manager
4. Run CC cleaner to clean files and fix registry
5. Reinstall your drivers
6. Wipe your a** and smile :)

I've fixed the crossfire issue, for some reason when I loaded steam up the anomalies started to occur, so I re-installed steam & set in to use 1 GPU in CCC; and since then the problems have faded away. Any idea on how to fix the RAM issue, I've flashed the bios to the latest version and that didn't help at all so I'm stuck?

I have done to achieve the rated clock of 2133Mhz, however there must be some kind of restriction as it always stays on 1866Mhz, I'm just trying to find a solution as I've tried everything

Try to revert on default settings and repeat the installation/uninstallation process.
