Crucial 16GB and AMD FX6300 on a Gigabyte Board

[Mike Tromayer]

Hy Guy´s,

The following components i have:

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P Rev 2.0 BIOS F1 - 08/06/2013
(Supports RAM 1866Mhz with an AM3+ CPU up to 32GB)
AMD FX 6300 (FD6300WMW6KHK)
(Supports RAM up to 1866MHz)
Crucial Ballistix Tactical (BLT4G3D1869DT1TX0) 4x4 GB
(Compatible with Mainboard, 1866Mhz)

Each Component supports Ram with 1866Mhz but the Mainboard
automaticly set it up to 1333Mhz and i don´t know how to set it up
for full 1866Mhz.

Can someone help me with this issue ?

thx a lot and i´m very sorry about my broken english !

It defaulted to 1333 because of 4 sticks of RAM.
Enter BIOS, find RAM settings, change to manual and change multiplier one notch up. May have to raise memory voltage a bit too because of 4x4 RAM.

ok thank you i will give it a try. How much up the voltage would you say ?

 

[CountMike]

Up to 1.65v but only if you must.

ok thank you very much !

Look in the BIOS for EOCP or XMP in the DRAM settings, enable that and select the 1866 selection. Might need additional DRAM or MC voltage would suggest 1.575 on DRAM and 1.25 on CPU/NB voltage (MC)

Hey,

i´ve tried yesterday many configurations but to get the Modules up to 1866 Mhz is not possible.
there must be a restriktion on the mobo or within the cpu. 2 modules on ban 1,2 or 3,4 are running at 1866Mhz,
4 Modules doesn´t. I used google to find out why but i only could find some threads where other users with
similar boards have the same problem.

so i go another way.

my setup now is the following

XMP aktivated
setup ram to 1600 Mhz
give it 1.6 V
and changed Timing to 7-7-7-17-26-1T

after that the Mobo posts without any errors so i used AIDA, Sandra and AOD to make stability Test and Stresstest, all Fine
The System speeds really fine up.

Back to Bios i changed the Values of my CPU, it is as said an AMD FX6300 unlocked, up the 4Ghz.

After Reboot (MoBo posts without Errors) and Back to Windows i started the stresstests again, again everthing works fine.

Then after an Stresstest for CPU, GPU, PCI-e and SATA thats running for 3 Hours (also to check temperature)
i´m also tune a littlebit on the Radeon Cards.

Some Tests again and also Futuremark Benchmarks my System runs really fine and i get more then 25% better score
on Futuremarktests (3DMark and PCMark)

I think that´s real great for an AMD System, what do you say ?

And i thank you all for your solutions to get my system running that fast !!
A great Community i´ve found here, thank you very much.
