XMP not setting right speed and BSOD if set manually - please help

[jimbojames]

Hi All,

I have just set up a new rig and I am running a 3930K on a RE4 with 32GB of Dominator 2133 but the XMP only tries to run it at 1333. If I set it to 2133, I get a BSOD on startup in to windows 7 pro.

I have flashed the bios of the board to the latest release but other than that, I'm out of ideas? Would tweaking teh RAM voltage help?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

what ram are you useing its possible they were binned incorrectly in which case send em back

When it was running at 1333 what does cpu-z say it's running at in windows?

You will need to offset DRAM timings and possibly increase DRAM voltage to facilitate the higher operating frequency. First thing I would do is add +1 to CAS and tRCD in the DRAM timing section of UEFI and see if the board will POST. If it will not, you can try increasing DRAM voltage by 0.05V and see if the system will POST. If not. then move on to the third timings in the DRAM page and try offsetting those by +3 clocks. No POST there means your memory is "no good for overclocking".

also, depending on the CPU stepping the IMC does have issues above C1 stepping.
this should at least give you a bullet or two to fire back for an RMA..
