Hi!
I recently built up a new pc and I have problems with enabling the RAM's XMP. I know this has been questioned many times but since I didnt't find a solution I'll post this one last time.
So I have a 2x4gb Corsair 2133MHz kit. And it is running at 1333Mhz default. I can manually set it to 1600Mhz but not above. My motherboard is an Asus P8B75-V and my CPU is an i5 3470. I updated bios, put the sticks to other slots, still nothing. However I found this in my motherboard's manual:
4x DIMM, max. 32GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory Dual channel memory architecture
Supports Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
*DDr3 1600MHz and higher memory freq is supported by Intel 3rd generation processors.
Due to the CPU behavior, DDR3 2133/1866 Memory module will run at DDR3 2000/1800 MHz frequency as default.
Now I am a bit confused. This means I can only run at 2133 MHz if I overclock my processor???
Thanks
