    • Forgetting to reattach the front usb header to the motherboard after a clean out and not bothering to spend a few moments fixing it, it just stares at me through the case window.

    Sorting out playlists for my windows phone via my pc.

    Having issues with macro keys (sidewinder x4) and not fixing it correctly, so I have an UAC request each time I start up the computer.

  1. yes, you are, sounds like the RAM needs some question asking from MEMtest.

    also, these are done on a stock or overclocked CPU? if OC, save profile and go

    back to stock and re-do RAM.

     

    My CPU is at stock :)

     

    Should I run memtest on the values that I can boot from (1600mhz + auto) or the values that I should be getting (1866mhz + timings + freq above) and how many passes would you say ?

    Just a update on my situation. Ran memtest on the ram kit and all was well, but I couldn't pass on the multi-core mode. Decided to RMA and got a replacement kit. Couldn't get it to rated speed, ran memtest and got numerous errors. Got a full refund for it, much of been a bad batch or something ?

     

    Unfortunately since I when through this, memory prices have shot up, so I'm stuck for a bit on my corsair 4gb kit. Oh well :)

     

    Thanks for the guidance :)

  2. I have the same ram. Cant say i have had any problems and i have had them for years. What's your voltage at?

     

    Just the default 1.5 volts which was set by the uefi. I have read that increasing them helps ?

     

    i've kinda ran into the same on their sector 3 2133 RAM. manually correct the UEFI BIOS

    with the speed, timing and voltage and they are very unstable, unpredictable and pass MEM86

    testing. slap a set of vengeance 2133C9 and no issues. so i finally had to OC my RAM and go

    from 1.65 to 1.675v, 13-12-12-33 2T which is slower than 1866 10-10-10-30 1T at 1.5v

    the look of them are great, but stability-wise not for the 2133 price i paid.

     

    bypass XMP and go directly to UEFI and the DRAM section and enter the specs.

    timings: 10-11-10-30 DRAM voltage 1.5/1.55v and RAM Freq 1866. see how that fairs and

    save UEFI profile incase of changes.

     

    Cool, thanks for the suggestion. I'll had a fiddle and I couldn't get to post. I manually changed the ram freq, the voltages and the primary timings. Anything else I could do ?

     

    I have the exactly same ram 16GB in quad channel. Mine is running overclocked at 1866MHz with 1.5V (stock is 1600MHz at 1.65v). Never had any problems with it. It could be just a bad memory kit. A simple RMA would fix the problem. 

     

    The thought did cross my mind, thanks for replying. 

  3. Hello, I need some help.

     

    I've purchased this Patriot Viper 3 Series 1866MHz >>> http://www.patriotmemory.com/product/detail.jsp?prodline=5&catid=34&prodgroupid=232&id=1257 to run on my ASUS P8H77-V Motherboard.

     

    I've set the X.M.P profile, and the system fails to boot. However if I set the target DRAM Speed to 1600MHz, the system boots and is stable.

     

    I've browsed the Patriot forums; I've tried putting the ram timings in manually with no success.

     

    Is this a limitation with my motherboard (although my motherboard says that it supports 1866MHZ DDR3 and I've updated to the latest UEFI BIOS) or is there something I'm not doing which is causing this ? (Do you need anymore details)

     

    P.S. I know the difference between 1600MHz and 1866MHz is negligible, but it's nice to get the speed that the memory is rated for and/or working out if there is a issue with the ram. 

  4. I run a 128GB Crucial M4 and a 500GB WD Blue drive. The best comprised between speed and performance I could afford at the time, got the drives after the massive SSD prices drops in Europe months ago, and the hard drives after the price settled down after the floods. SSD has my OS/programs and all my personal data/games on the hard drive, pretty standard config.

     

    Run an old laptop with a 120GB Hitachi hard drive as my experimental FreeNas server, surprised in the performance I'm getting (in a good way)
