RAM issues when overclcoking CPU

[KettyKoala]

Hi there,

 

Im currently in the middle of overclocking my CPU (6600k) on an ASUS maximus viii ranger, i have it up to 4.9ghz on 1.33v, then I get a BSOD that gives me an error which windows tells me is primarily a RAM issue. I have my RAM set on XMP at 2400mhz 14-16-16-31. Is there anything i need to alter RAM wise to get it stable?

 

Thanks!

Could we get, like, all your bios settings?

This is not much info...

 

It could be something really simple, but is hard to pin-point if we do not have the whole picture.

Ive just checked my settings and it looks like i over volted my ram by accident while changing my core voltage haha! Maybe this has something to do with it! I'm re-running the stress test, if i have any more problems i'll be sure to ask! My mistake

 

Thanks anyways,

I've got everything stable at 1.34v, for 4.9ghz that seems pretty good! And im getting temps of around 60-65C on my H110i GTX. Ive tried going to 5.0Ghz but i just cannot get it stable, even when going up to 1.4v, which ran a bit too hot for my liking (75-80C).

Sounds like 4.9 is your max for that CPU. Not bad at all, you're on the high side of the silicon lottery. It's not unusual to get a RAM error when overclocking. RAM and CPU stability are related in a lot of cases.
