HyperX Fury DDR3 4 x 8GB 1866Mhz only runs at 1333mhz

[NJDFisher]

Just got this memory as the cheapest upgrade to 32GB I could find, only to find it didn't "auto" to 1866mhz.

 

On further inspection, there is no XMP profile for it.

 

Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero VI. BIOS version: 2.10.1208.

 

Setting it manually to 1866mhz doesn't help. It is just ignored. I checked the timings, they are at 10-11-10 as required.

 

I'm hoping a BIOS flash fixes it? Any other ideas? I've seen these issues cropping up a lot, hope someone can resolve.

 

Thanks.

Well do you have a stick in your pc that is 1333

Nah, full with 4 x 8GB 1866Mhz, bought as a single package, all the same brand make model etc.

Quick look on mobo's web page says it supports 1600 as standard, and 1866 as overclock. I have similar ram (4GB modules not 8GB ones) and I find it a plus they're not XMP but support 1866 as standard profile, as that works better on non-OC mobos, not that it helps here.

 

My thought for now is, try running the ram in pairs and see if the outcome is different. Mobos can be fussier running 4 sticks than 2, not that it helps if this is the case. Double check the bios settings in case there is something set somewhere that is causing this. Bios update might or might not help. I can't find something obviously the number listed but then again nothing recent says anything about better ram support.

I looked at the 3 PDF documents with explicit RAM support and mine isn't there. I'm incredulous.

This irks me immensely.

You would be better of getting a 1600MHz CL9 memory, as lower latency is for gaming and higher frequency aka bandwidth is for data pushing (as that gives CPU more room to breath).

Try disabling the CPU overclock and see if it then lets you OC the RAM.

Silly me, I stopped OCing my CPU as I need a new cooler, but didn't update my sig. I'm not changing the memory, the reason I got 32GB was for productivity - It's essential for After Effects and music production, and I'm already loving the performance boost. I am worried about the speed a little in some games however. I guess I might just have to live with it.

Watch this, and then you don't need to worry about it
