Hello all,
Important specs:
Intel i5 2500k
2x2GB G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600mhz CL6
ASUS P8Z68-V
I have a strange problem... once again.
Last night everything in my pc was running fine. When I turned it on this morning, it would not post and the "DRAM-LED" was red. Turns out I can only post and boot with running 1333mhz. After testing a few things I have established this:
1. Any timings or voltages at 1600mhz will not post.
2. I can run my XMP voltages and timings at 1333mhz without problems.
3. The RAM is not faulty. (At 1333mhz CL6 I've tryed individual sticks, different slots, 4 passes of memtest, some prime95...)
I have reseated my RAM and CPU, I have played with X.M.P versus manual settings, VTT voltages, and I think my RAM isn't at fault here....
FYI: I had my CPU overclocked to 4ghz but now I brought back default clocks hoping to rule that out.
Whats strange is that its not "faulty" in the traditional sense, it either works or dosn't work....
Any ideas? Faulty mobo?
