Memory not running stable at xmp

I guys!

I have a kit of patriot viper 3 in my system that makes my computer bsod just in windows when running at its xmp, it is stable at base though.

Specs here: http://www.patriotmemory.com/product/specs/PV38G213C1K.pdf

What timings, voltages etc would you recommend i set?

I'd very much like to avoid taking the kit back for a replacement as that would cause down time.

PS: My motherboard is a msi-z77-gd65 and my cpu the 3570k @4.2ghz with auto voltage (memory unstable at stock cpu speed as well)

you overclock with auto voltage ?? I'm starting to doubt its your ram, cause that's pretty n00b.. either way reset all setting get all clock's to standard.. set your xmp profile if it still bsod's

you got something thats broken, though (it is most common) it doesn't have to be the ram..

use some kind of bsodviewer (there are several) post a screen, we'll probably be able to pinpoint your problem

How do you know it is the RAM? Indeed, as LOLPhilips stated, post the contents of the dump file so we can see why you got a BSOD.

Have you tried manually inputting your memory settings? Remove the XMP profile and have your RAM sitting at base values. Stable? Yes, proceed to MANUALLY setting your frequency, voltage and timings as Patriot listed. If it isn't stable at the base settings, you're probably looking at getting a new kit. However, what you have said doesn't necessarily mean it is the RAM at fault. It could be anything at this point.

As an aside, what voltage is your CPU running at?

I clocked it at 1.21v to get stability but with auto volts I've found that during idle it will keep my cpu at 1.21v and then under-volt from that to 1.15v to keep my temps lower than locking is at 1.21v constantly (all whilst at 24 hours stable).

The ram is rock solid stable at base frequency regardless of my cpu overclock which is why i came hear to find out what memory settings i could try to get stability at the speed advertised on the box :P

+ my bois is up to date :)

Have you tried manually entering the memory values instead of using XMP profile? I don't know whether its placebo or coincidence or whatever, but I feel like I get overall better system stability when I manually set my volts to 1.5, punch in my timings myself and set my frequency. What about running your kit at 1866 instead of 2133 or the base 1600? Any BSOD?

Also, use a BSOD dump file viewer to post the error here. It might be something unrelated to the RAM.

I don't think we're on the same page guys. The bsod is caused only by the ram when set at xmp, otherwise with base it's rock solid 24 hours stable in prime 95 small fft.

The bsod error code will vary because of whatever program is occupying the flipped bits changes from boot to boot :P

BTW I will try manually changing the timing and voltage to what it's rated for but I don't think that'll make much difference because that's all the xmp does.

There are logical reasons to use auto for smaller overclocks because it lowers the voltage when under load making my temps better

Well if you're so certain about then just go and get new ram yours is faulty its that simple
All a want is some advice on memory timings memory voltage etc to experiment in finding stability in non stock settings to avoid system downtime

then load the xmp profile, and add a little to the ram voltage might solve your problems if not, run it at normal (1600mhz) speeds, you wont notice any changes anyway, and might be able to lower your timings.. But again if the ram refuses to work at the advertised speeds you should traid them in

i have exact same issue on my corsair vengeance lp rams they dont wanna run at XMP profile with stock voltage (which they used to run no problem at 1.34v volts) i have to increase the voltage to 1.44v to get them work properly without no errors you can set timings and voltage manually and have same performance it really wont matter

all xmp does is sets CAS,RAS,RAS TO CAS,tRAS,CR and dram voltage which you can do it manually leave rest of them in auto nothing will change

Hazar! I have stability with 1.55v thanks for the tip Lavent :)
