cant run 1866mhz ram with my fx 6300 at 4.5ghz

[soheil253]

i tried 1.55v and even 1.55v at 1866 and i get error. im at 1600mhz at the moment. my mobo is m5a99x evo r2.0. is there anyway i can make it work?

To this date i haven't seen anyone do this and there have been alot of people trying this and failing so i don't think this is possible.

oh the fx 6300 just doesnt support 1866? wow i wasted my money on the ram then lol

Yea I've heard that they do say that it supports 1866 but that they had to change that cause everyone who had tried that had failed.

It's probably because you're overclocking. It's harder to get RAM to run at a higher frequency when you overclock.

It's not really your fault that you bought the 1866mhz memory since there's so much website hype out there to sell the modules, it would have behooved you to have investigated the 1866mhz claims at AMD itself.

*1 = 1866mhz supported with 1 DPC (DIMM per Channel) in single memory slot motherboard designs

You were just a victim of AMDs fine print and that sucks!

You can run 1866mhz in single channel mode, so just run it as 1600mhz in dual channel mode as you already are.
