ASUS P8H77-i - RAM Issues - Kingston HyperX FURY - Don't get 1866 MHZ

oliveru · Feb 2, 2015

Hello there,

I have a problem with getting 1866 MHZ on my Mini ITX Board ASUS P8H77-i.

I've bought 16GB Kingston HyperX FURY schwarz DDR3-1866 DIMM CL10 Dual Kit.

The Mainboard automatically set my RAM to 1600 MHZ. If I change it to 1866 MHZ the PC won't boot. If I change it to 1866 MHZ (and 1800 MHZ) and raise it to 1.6V it doesn't start either. I tried 12 - 12 - 12 steppings (bad ones) and it doesn't work either. Just 1600 MHZ with different or auto Timings. Why? This RAM is said to be 1866 MHZ and the board seams to support it.

I don't have any XMP settings whatsoever.

Thanks for your help.

make sure your motherboard has the newest bios file loaded. on asus the xmp profile is under advace mode of the bios under the ai tab. on dram speed it say xmp then profile one.

I have the latest BIOS and under advanced there is no XMP settings.

on my asus Z97M-PLUS mb, on the basic UEFI Bios page, there's an option to enable XMP, on the left hand side. enabling it there changes some of the settings in the advanced and AI tweaker pages

if i leave it dis-abled which is default in my BIOS, my G.Skill RipJaws 1600 MHz memory runs at 1333 MHz, enabled it hits 1600 MHz

on dram speed under the ai tab when you click on it will say xmp profile on/off and profile one.

As I said there is no XMP for this RAM and there is no XMP settings. This is a fact. That's why I tried it manually and can't understand what's wrong. I could take a screenshot if you like.

I think you need 3rd gen. cpu for memory above 1600. what cpu do you have. Also, don't you need Z77 chipset for XMP?
You may have to set timings manually.

i'm not a guru, by any means, but there were a couple of issues (overheating was one of them) that clearing the CMOS cleared the issue. The Asus bios seem to have some conflicts built in - you might try clearing CMOS and trying again - all it will mean is having to reset the time and date in BIOS before you fully boot again.
if that doesn't do it, and i would clear it as a basic step, then try re-installing the latest bios from Asus

My specs:
Intel Core i7 3770 k
Asus P8H77-i http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H77I/specifications/ (It says it's supported)

As I said: http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150202/2xc5nffw.jpg
This is wht it looks here for me. (sorry German UI, but you can see the difference)

I don't have the options. I read that the Hyper X don't need it because they o.v. automatically, but I don't think it works, don't have the best benchmark results.

smorizio · Feb 2, 2015

on the first line switch it from auto to xmp.

smorizio :

Nope there is no XMP: http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150202/m6fp5uqt.jpg

And not on the other lines too. Normally CPU - Z would show XMP profiles too, but there are just other sample settings. (watched some youtube vids)

oliveru · Feb 2, 2015

Any help? The RAM doesn't have XMP - as the screenshots show there is no option in the BIOS because it doesn't exist.

oliveru · Feb 3, 2015

Simple as that:
Intel 3770K (even 4770K) and higher processors don't support >1600MHZ.

Just a few ones:

The Furys don't use XMP, they run off PnP - they automatically set themselves to whatthey figure is the max, can try manually setting to 1866 - will prob take additional DRAM and MC voltage

oliveru · Feb 3, 2015

Tradesman1 :

I tried, no luck - PC won't start. It's because the CPU doesn't support it I think.

Tradesman1 · Feb 3, 2015

What CPU, that's prob the problem

oliveru · Feb 3, 2015

Tradesman1 :

Already wrote down - 3770k and I posted a link where it shows that just a very few ones support >1600MHZ

Tradesman1 · Feb 3, 2015

The 3770K should handle 1866 without a problem, it's native to 1333 but 1600 is well in it's range. 1866 may take a small OC of the CPU and/or can try adding a pinch of voltage to the VCCSA (+ 0.06 or so)

I called Kingston about this problem with my motherboard and they said it's because of the CPU. On this page there is also said, 1600 MHZ is max for it. I tried to increase the Voltage of the RAM, didn't work, tried 12 timings because they are said to be a good starting point, didn't work. Sure OC of the CPU itself ( currently 3,5 - 3,9 GHZ (Turbo)) could work?

Can try it
