I recently built a new pc and am having a lot of problems getting my ram to run at 2400Mhz. When its set to 2400 and any cpu clock speed (even default) It fails Prime95 within seconds and causes BSOD when I try to play a game like BF3-4. At 1866Mhz + 4790K oc to 4.7Ghz it passes Prime95-Memtest86 no errors and is rock solid playing games. Here is what I'm running :
Asus Z97-A
i7 4790K
Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 2400 (2x8gb) 16Gb
I have used the XMP in combination with default stock cpu clocks with no success. I have set it manually, no luck. The DRAM voltage is good at 1.65 auto shows it as 1.68v. The timings are correct for 2400 speed. I actually RMA'd the first ram I got thinking it was bad mem and ordered the Corsair sticks. So I know the ram is good. Am I missing something, could my board be faulty or is that normal for 2400Mhz ram not able to run full speed on this board? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
