Overclocking - Rampage Extreme 4

[chougle_asif]

Currently i am using the following. I7 3930K, 8GB x 4 Kingston Hyper X 2133MHZ, Thermaltake Toughpower 1500Watts PSU, 3 x GTX 680's SLI EVGA, Corsair H100, Corsair 480 Force SSD Primary Hard Drive, Windows Ultimate 64 Bit and bios is updated to the latest.

The Problem, In Bios when i select XMP Profile 1 i am able to run the ram on full 2133 MHZ and the processor on 3800MHZ. But when i go XMP Profile 2 i am able to run the processor on 4.3 but the ram cant go more than 1600MHZ.

if i try to take the ram higher the systems crashes and the mother board gives me code 00. then i have to power off, power on, switch bios and re do the whole thing again.

Profile 1 which is 3800MHZ on CPU and 2133MHZ on ram runs the system perfectly fine and i get a rating of 18550 on 3DMark 11.

Is there something wrong i am doing with regards to Profile 2, which is not allowing me to have a higher processor and ram at the same time.

some advise would really help

Your not doing anything wrong. It's a problem with 2011 in general. Those chips for whatever reason are not very good at holding themselves and ram at pretty substantial overclocks. Honesty, I think you would best go with the 4.3 overclock and stick with the 1600 on the ram.
