[Solved] G.skill sniper 1866 speed

anyone?

I seen that I just figured 2000 oc i might be able to run in between at 1866

If you overclock and already overclocked ram you risk burning/melting your RAMs and/or your motherboard. I wouldn't suggest it but then again I don't have deep knowledge on the issue.

Well its working I adjusted those and its acually running at 1926 mhz somehow seems stable so far, the only concern i had was the TRC only went to 41 and cpu-z said 42 will that make a difference?

should i leave it on auto then? I noticed something else though my ram was higher but my cpu went down?

Correct leave other CAS Timings as 'Auto'. The only CAS Timings to touch are (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS & CMD) e.g. 8-8-8-24-2N leave the rest alone If the Command Rate is set to 1N {1T same thing} and you're having errors then use 2N which is best in most instances >= 1600 MHz.

Next run Memtest86+ for 2~4 passes, 8GB is best overnight take a long time, create a bootable CD/DVD, use the ISO/zip file -> http://www.memtest.org/

Good Luck!

If no errors for (9) Passes and you're first seeing errors in the 10th Pass - 9/10 RAM was running too hot; 4 passes is considered good.

If running F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR 1866 MHz 9-10-9-28 @ 1.50v you could relax the CAS by going 10-10-10-(28~30) OR RAM Fan OR DRAM Voltage -> +0.10v.

Otherwise, after 9 Good passes IMO it's nothing to worry about, you'd need to be Gaming or Rendering just as long to replicate the 'strain' on the RAM, but the above three choices will lower the error rate.

Let me know, we'll figure it out. There are more obscure settings to try if needed, but it's very 'trial by error.'

Think I have a g.skill fan found as well

gonna give this a try right now and my timings are 9-11-9-29 as per cupz again! my coolers in the mail as well get right back to u.

i havent installed any of those programs and the bios is staying as i set it, though sometimes when I change voltage the numbers turn yellow or green as a warning. I set those back myself

There's a few ways to skin a cat, let's try simply OC the FSB manually. You may need to play with both the CPU Bus Frequency & CPU Ratio to get a DRAM Frequency that will work. You wanted fast RAM now you get to have some fun with it and join the club of OC'ing.

AI Overclocker Tuner -> Manual
CPU Bus Frequency -> 240 MHz (try 233 MHz the CPU will be slightly under clocked 3.26GHz)
CPU Ratio -> 14
DRAM Frequency -> DDR3-1866 MHz {closet value; note 'Math Problem' above}
DRAM Voltage -> (spec) or +0.10v
CPU/NB Voltage -> (spec) or 1.25v~1.35v
DRAM Timing Control /Enter
Set the CAS timings per 'XMP-1866' as listed in CPU-z
//You may need to increase the NB Voltage if unstable//

ok so I set all that and stil get errors at exactly test 7? No matter how I set it up its errors at test 7. but while usuing the pc with any of those settings it seems stable. I'm gonna try auto which sets it to 1600 by defualt and see where the errors start, any more suggestions in the mean time?

OK so I ran this ram everyway I can, auto 1600, errors a test 7! I OC to 2000mhz 7 errors b4 test 7 then all errors after, and put it back to your settings originally and no errors till test 7. I'll check out that link but I think i'm just gonna let it ride as I have no probs with my pc so far, your opinion?

On a similar thread a GSKILL Administrator suggested to ignore Test 7 errors. You are exceeding the AMD CPU's IMC limits running 1600 MHz DDR3 and faster; as stated test 7 is not a RAM test as such "Errors from this test are not used to calculate BadRAM patterns."

Therefore to test the IMC Load Defaults in the BIOS and re-run the tests.

Next, I assume that you are running the latest non-Beta BIOS version 2001.

Lastly, you might want to report it to ASUS so they can look into a BIOS upgrade to correct the issue.
