MSI P67AGD65 and Sniper 2133 memory issue

[Tradesman]

You sound a lot like me, while I build based primarily on what clients want, their budget, etc....for myself I go for the bang for the buck also, after a number of IB builds and mobos for my own I picked up an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 and paired it with a 3570K. I love the mobo, for me it fits the bill and might for you also

While I run a 3570K, I've had a 3770K in it a couple of times with no problems and OCs well, I run my 3570K at 4.6/4.7 and have touched 5 w/ it (too warm/needs to much vCore, but that's typical w/ these CPUs, though 4.7 equates to about 4.9 with the 2500K (the 3rd gen seem about 10-15% faster at equivalent GHz. I've worked with ASRock on the BIOS for higher amounts of DRAM so (at least with a 3570K) it's handled everything I run on it up to it's current 32G 2400/Tridents....with a 3770K should be able to run a min of 16GB at 2800

WELP. 2nd pass memtest 1 error, I booted up. then ran prime 95 instant worker stoppages 100 errors max...OOPS.

I dropped mem speed in bios to 1866 and fire up Prime 95.....runs....cranks out several units...zero errors

So at 1866 its happy, memtweakit is not letting me change settings though...how tight can i run this at 1866 ya think? 10-10-10-26?


This combo has hit 5200 on air at 1.48v....I bench for Overclockers.com....

At 1866 try 9-10-9-27 (maybe CR at 1T) and if that flies drop CL to 8 (8-10-9-27, if 1T worked these may have to go back to 2T, but the lower CL will over-compensate for the rise to 2T)
