why my ram work only with comand rate 3? i have qpi/dram voltage 1,65, dram voltage 1,65

@G.Skill Tech,

Thanks for the additional help. I am running the latest BIOS (1802) and I tried using your settings above, but the closest DRAM frequency choice is 2006 (next lower is 1720), there is no option for 2000 and the 2006 exceeds your specs and the RAM fails to POST (same as last time). Also, the UCLK frequency is 4014, there is no option to choose 4000 based on these settings. Please advise.

Thanks!

This setting is to run DDR3-2000 F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD on the ASUS Rampage II Extreme motherboard. In this scenario, the Intel Core i7 920 is overclocked to 3.6GHz which is perfectly safe for this combination. You can also check the temperature in your BIOS to confirm that it is not overheating.

AI overclock - manual
OC from CPU level up - auto
OC from Memory level up - DDR3-2000
CPU Ratio setting - 18 for 3.6GHz
CPU Turbo Power Limit - disable

CPU configuration
CPU Ratio Setting - whichever you chose above
C1E Support - disable
Hardware prefetcher - enable
Adjacent Cache line prefetcher - enable
Intel Virtualization tech - disabled
CPU TM Function - disable
Execute Disabled bit - disabled
Intel HT Technology - disable
Active Processor Cores - all
A20M - disabled
Intel C-STATE tech - disabled

BCLK frequency - 200
PCIE frequency - 100
DRAM frequency - 2000 MHz
UCLK frequency - 4000 MHz
QPI frequency - auto

Dram Timing Control
DRAM CAS# Latency - 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay - 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time - 9
DRAM RAS# ACT Time - 24
DRAM REF Cycle Time - 74
DRAM Timing Mode - 2N
All others can be on AUTO

EPU II Phase Control - Full Phase
Load-line calibration - enable
CPU differential amplitude - auto
Extreme OV - disabled


CPU voltage - 1.32V
CPU PLL voltage - 1.85V
QPI-DRAM voltage - 1.55V

IOH voltage - 1.35V
IOH PCIE voltage - 1.60V
ICH voltage- 1.20V
ICH PCIE voltage - 1.60V

DRAM Bus voltage 1.65V

CPU spread spectrum - disabled
PCIE spectrum - disabled
CPU clock skew - auto
IOH clock skew - auto

As a side note, this board is pretty nifty in that you can have different BIOS profiles saved. For example, if you have a setting for DDR3-2200 @ CAS 9 and DDR3-1700 @ CAS 6, you can save both complete settings of your BIOS and simply change back and forth when you want to instead of changing every single voltage and timing to operate at different speeds.

From when I have settato these formulations to make to work the rams to 2000 mhz and with comand installments to 3 and qpi/dram voltage to 1,65, because don't work fine and make blue screen at 1,55, because to 2 he/she doesn't succeed in setting out, when the computer is cold in the post of start he/she doesn't succeed in loading me the video card and I have to press the key of reboot.
do you know how to help me?
thanks in advance

Speed Racer,

The couple MHz over is fine. It is due to the locked multipliers. Our memory modules are made for overclocking, so +100MHz will even work with rated specifications.

pipes,

I will help you in your thread.

Thank you

@G.Skill Tech,

Got it, I will give it another try. This may sound like a noob question (it's been a while since I overclocked a machine), but you left out some settings in this second list (i.e. DRAM REF Cycle Time, CPU voltage, PLL voltage, IOH and ICH settings, etc.). Should I set these as you previous listed them or leave them at default settings?

Thanks again!

when I will return this evening I will post the setting of my configuration, so at least he can understand what it doesn't go, even if I repeat apart that from cold to the first start it doesn't load the video card, I am more stable.
thanks thousand

My problem this is: the computer make three short beep when I have start at the first time of the day, I switch reset button and after make a normal boot, this problem come out when I have a cold pc.
With this configuration I am very stable, cpu don't go over 75? stress for an hour with linx, northbridge max 51?, southbridge 49?.
What is the problem with that fault boot?
Thank you with this good Customer Service

sorry for my bad english

[GSKILL TECH]

SpeedRacer,

Simply leave them on default AUTO since the system will be able to configure them properly at that frequency.

pipes,

If you have cold boot problems, you will need to send the memory in for new replacements.

2 kits - 12GB

I am aware voltages have to be increased for recognition of 12GB. What are the recommended VDIMM/QPI voltage settings in order to have 12GB consistently recognized in W7 x64? I'm running i7-940 w/ modest overclock - 3.37 GHz. Even running RAM at 1604MHz, mobo only recognizes 10GB in BIOS.

I have an RMA request in. If you can resolve the issue here, it will save us both grief and time. The settings suggested on your forum thread concerning voltage adjustments and 12GB recognition errors did not yield positive results.

[GSKILL TECH]

There is no recommendation as it is different for each CPU, even of the same exact model. You would need to test for the stable voltages.

You may have a bad module, try testing the memory 3 at a time.

Thank you

i need some help over here

hi, i've been looking those settings for more than 2 weeks, but just not sure what to apply, i have the same motherboard and ram,cpu, just to make sure i don't want to run the cpu in an overclocked mode and make rams run in 2000mhz, please provide exact setting,

[GSKILL TECH]

Enable XMP, then simply find the QPI/DRAM Voltage that it needs. Should be very simple with this motherboard and memory.

Thank you
GSKILL TECH

[power_light2000]

i have already tried it, the first time the system boots but after that it won't, i have tried with the settings you provided, even then it won't boot.. please help
