Ok I have an Asus 990FX Sabertooth AM3+ motherboard. I purchased
2 x CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9(XMP) 8GB (2 x 4GB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233144&Tpk=CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
Memory kits for a total of 16GB of memory.
I'm having some serious issues getting this to run at 1600 speeds. The BIOS and MemOK both detect it as DDR3-1333 and set it accordingly. When I check the SPD settings they list the DDR3-1333 as the default with an XMP profile for DDR3-1600. Seeing as AMD mobo's can't / won't allow you to use XMP profiles I'm stuck manually putting in the settings. Except when I put them all in (According to the XMP profile) the system won't POST and the beeps indicate a memory error. Rebooting again and it brings me to the BIOS saying there was a memory error and it had reset itself back to DDR3-1333 speeds.
I'm getting no where trying to get this to work, I relax the timings and bump up the voltage to 1.6 and still it doesn't help.
Does anyone else have this Mobo + RAM combo? What was done to get it to work at DDR3-1600. Also what exactly are the settings, the words / acronyms used in the XMP are different then what's on the manual memory setting page in the BIOS. Driving me crazy trying to set all the settings.
