I have been running Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz CL9
I recently purchased 8GB (2x4GB) more of the exact same RAM ( Corsair V. Pro 1600 CL9) but with BLUE heat spreaders (first ones were SILVER)
Had issues getting my rig to boot, then trouble getting the new RAM recognized. After much switching of slots with all the different modules, got it all playing nice together
So before doing stress testing to make sure it's sound I check CPUZ... It appears my new sticks have looser timings at 1600MHz than my original set (at lower Freg. they are the same)
Just wondering if that is something the mobo will do automatically, maybe I have gotten bad sticks or if I should set the timings manually in BIOS. So far have only enabled XMP profile to achieve 1600MHz, otherwise they will only run at 1333MHz
My complete rig is in my profile but quick points
Motherboard: GA-Z87X-D3H
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY8GX3M2A1600C9A(2x4GB silver heat spreader, made 12/13)
Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY8GX3M2A1600C9B(2x4GB blue heat spreader, made 15/13)
Corsair TX750M
Timings of note(different) tRC 33 (on the BLUEs) and tRC 41 (on the SILVERs)
The tRAS was also different 24 and 33 but those seem to have matched up and both are at 24 now)
Thanks in advance for any help/ advice, I'm really puzzled about this
EDIT: for more specs and to add - Could this just be the Motherboard having issues reporting or possibly CPUZ?
