AMD 7870K, D.O.C.P Memory problems.

[KasperJah]

Hello again. 

I got my PC up and running.. 
But now my problem is, then i try to set my RAM from 1333Mhz to 1866Mhz (Wich they support) my PC wont start and i have to do a BIOS reset ( taking out battery). 
I get really shit performance with 1333Mhz.. My RAM is Corsair XMS3 1866MHz 8GB Vengeance CL9. Its dual-channel 4x4. 

In my BIOS, there is an option called D.O.C.P. and an option called Profile 1#. 
Then i select Profile 1#, my PC cant start. If i select 1866Mhz DOCP, my PC cant start.. 

I can try provide with pictures, if wanted. 
My motherboard is Asus A88XM-A.

[KasperJah]

My BIOS is updated to the latest.

My motherboard is Asus A88XM-A.

Does the motherboard support it? If yes then buy 2400MHz ram?

[KasperJah]

Does the motherboard support it? If yes then buy 2400MHz ram?

I cant even run 1600Mhz? 

And yes, my motherboard supports up to 2400Mhz.

And yes, my motherboard supports up to 2400Mhz. 

2400MHz is best for max performance.

[KasperJah]

2400MHz is best for max performance.

Please, read my problem. 

I CANT get my RAM working... Buying new RAM dosent solve my current problem. 

And i can just OC my RAM... I dont need to buy new. 

My problem is, i cant even get 1600mhz profile working.

But maybe the OC is the problem? Also try to reset CMOS?

[KasperJah]

These RAM is 1866Mhz( Corsair XMS3 1866MHz 8GB Vengeance CL9) . They arent OC.. I did reset CMOS like 5 times.

Ouch... The I am out of ideas...

Ouch... The I am out of ideas...

Thanks anyway..

Have you tried only running one stick of RAM?

my 7870k runs 1600 and 1866 just fine. Unfortunatly, you REALLY should get 2400MHz RAM... the diference between 1866 and 2400 is night and day with a APU, even from 2133 to 2400 you can clearly see a notable increase in performance.

Yeah i know the 2400Mhz RAM with AMD APU is crazy performance boost.. I cant even run CS:GO medium with 1333Mhz RAM.. 

I just dosent have the money for 2400Mhz right now. But im deffiently gonna upgrade.. 

I will try the single-channel then

2400 is pretty cheap, if you sell those 1866 ones, you should easily cover half or more then half of the 2400Mhz 2x4GB set....

 

I dunno about that motherbaord, but the ASrock FMA88X FM2+ micro ATX board can support up to 3200MHz DDR3.... i am tempted to get that board with my own 7870k and get some super high speed RAM. I know the MC on the APU is only made for 2133 nativly. BUUUUT, if i can just add some voltage and pray that it will run 2800-3000MHz RAM, then fuck it... it got to be awesome

Well... My motherboard supports 2400Mhz... I just dont know why 1866Mhz shouldn work...

it may not support the version of XMP your RAM is using. Yes, there is several revisions of XMP over time, its almost impossible to find anywhere which says WHICH version of XMP your stick of RAM is using. Albeit with motherboards, you CAN find out which ones they support.

 

Have you tried to just manually force 1866, without using the profile?

XMP is for Intel CPU's... My RAM is XMP profile.. 

Do you think thats the problem?

Well, i have tried to set the clocked MHZ speed to 1866Mhz in BIOS.

No, XMP is a function that is either supported by the motherboard, OR NOT.

I used Kingston Fury 1866 CL 9 4x4GB kit with my 990FX Sabertooth and AMD FX 8320. For me, XMP worked just fine (the FX Memory controller however, good fucking grief that is shit).

 

Ive also used XMP with every APU build ive set up. It works with AMD, no worries there.

Are you sure? Because its an Intel brand. 

The Intel Extreme Memory Profile. 

Its not for AMD? It was made for the Xeon.

Doesnt matter, it WORKS.

 

It is up to each individual motherboard manufacturer to add support for it. It has nothing to do with AMD.

Iv'e used XMP for 5 different systems spanning 4 years (thats how long ive been tinkering with bios stuff). IT WORKS ON AMD BOARDS IF THE MOTHERBOARD SUPPORTS IT.

Dude i fixed it!!!

I just had to set Memory Profile to D.O.C.P!!!

It converts XMP into AMP!!  

Thanks for the help! Am running 1866mhz now!!!

[Prysin]

uhm.... you cannot convert from XMP to AMP. They are two different standards

 

DOCP only lets you manually tune shit with partial automated support. Instead of forcing you to dial ALL settings manually...

http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/A88XMA/specifications/

Your board doesnt support XMP.... shoulda looked that up way earlier.... Dunno why it works, but unless the RAM supports AMP, you jsut magically made a non XMP mobo use XMP

 

either way, gratz for getting it to work

My RAM is XMP. 

This guy from Asus says, DOCP converts XMP into AMP.
