2400mhz RAM problem

[nokturrduk84]

My friend has MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard, i7 3770 (non k) & he just got these RAMs: Kingston HyperX Beast 8 GB Kit (2x4 GB) 2400MHz, but problem is, he can't make them work on 2400mhz. They work only on 2133mhz. Any thoughts what is the problem? Why they don't work on that speed?

[Ryan Leech]

He need to raise the voltage to 1.65v

 

Also, why does he have a non-K i7 on a Z77 board?

enter all the settings manually: clock, latencies, command rate, voltage

Could you explain exactly which settings to use? like what timings & voltages?

Try 11-12-12-31 at 1.65v

[nokturrduk84]

When he sets profile 1. timings & voltage sets automatically & speed sets to 2400mhz, but after this PC keeps restarting continuously.

for that kit its 2400 mhz, 11-13-13, command rate 1, 1.65V

Try 11-12-12-31 at 1.65v

Thx, will tell him now.

That means that the setting aren't going to work so he need to increase the voltage further, maybe 11-12-12-31 at 1.675v

[skullbringer]

also, try updating the bios

gonne end up frying the ram. obviously they dont know what they are doing.

 

Tell him to be carefull!

[mgsstar]

Ask him to set an XMP profile as Kingston usually advertizes their speed in XMP. The manual should say how to set up XMP. Refer to 2-13.

Thx, will try this too.

If there's a sticker on the side of the RAM, it should have all of the tested latencies, timings, voltage and frequency (my Corsair ones do) so I can take a picture of them and manually dial in all of the necessary stuff, though the X.M.P profile should fix all of that up for you.

Is XMP enabled?

Yes, he enabled it

I think maybe cpu is limiting it? As it's not k version?

Possibly, though chances are it's the motherboard/BIOS settings.

[nokturrduk84]

one more question: Now he has such settings: 2133mhz, 11-12-12-31 at 1.675v & if he leaves those settings, will it be okay?

dang.. I was planning to buy that same Memory stick next week.

 

Oh well, I guess I'll just stick to Crucial Memory sticks

We don't know. Maybe it's because of his non k cpu...

No, no. This ram is clearly crap. Look at this one person who is having trouble out of the 1000's of people who use this ram with no problems.
