F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL on Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4

[Sairo]

Is the F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL works fine on Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4.
The only motherboard listed on the G.Skill site for this memory are GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 and GA-Z68X-UD7-B3. Will it work on GA-Z68XP-UD5.
I will use it in for hackintosh and win7.

The memory works well in my Asus P8Z68-V Pro but the board is not that good in hackintosh.

Yes the Ripjaws X were designed for the P67/Z68 chipsets

Help please

I am trying this RAM stick on a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard but can't seem to run the memory at 2133 like advertised. As soon as i turn on XMP and adjust the correct timing (11-11-11-30), I can't load the POST screen. I assume that running at 2133mhz would require some voltage tweaking; however, I have yet to find the setting yet. The motherboard runs stable with my memory at 1800mhz on default settings voltage settings.

CPU clock ratio- 17x
BCLK- 180
Memory multiplier- 10
CAS- 11
tRCD- 11
tRP- 11
tRAS- 30
Command Rate - 2
everything else on default.

I tried running at 2000mhz with the following settings:
CPU clock ratio- 16x
BCLK- 166
Memory multiplier- 12
CAS- 11
tRCD- 11
tRP- 11
tRAS- 30
Command Rate - 2
everything else on default.

The system runs for about 5 mins and Ill get the blue screen of death with the following code 0x00000124. I tired to adjust the QPI/VTT voltage settings but the only setting that loads the POST screen however it does not load past the windows logo:

CPU clock ratio- 16x
QPI Clock Ratio- x36
Uncore Frequency- 16x
BCLK- 166
Memory multiplier- 12
CAS- 11
tRCD- 11
tRP- 11
tRAS- 30
Command Rate - 2

CPU Clock Drive- 800mv
PCI express clock drive- 700mv
CPU clock skew- 200ps

CPU Vcore- 1.3
QPI/VTT- 1.335
QPI PLL- 1.16
IOH Core- 1.2
everything else on default.

Any values I adjust will not load the POST screen.

Can someone help me load at least 2000mhz?

Try this:

CPU Clock Ratio - 17x
QPI Link Speed - AUTO
Base Clock Control - Enabled
BCLK Frequency - 167
Performance Enhance - Standard
Extreme Memory Profile - Disabled
System Memory Multiplier - 12

Uncore & QPI Features
Uncore Frequency - 4008

DRAM Timing Selectable - Manual

CAS Latency Time - 11
tRCD - 11
tRP - 11
tRAS - 30

Enter these for the other three as well.

Channel A Timing Settings

Advanced Timings
Command Rate - 2

Advanced Voltage Control
Load-Line Calibration - Disabled
CPU Vcore - 1.32V
QPI/VTT Voltage - ~1.30V (you will need to find the stable voltage for this)

DRAM Voltage - 1.500V
Rest to AUTO

Did you install in second and forth slot from CPU?

Thank you

The RAM sticks are required to be int he 2nd and 4th slot or else the motherboard will not boot the system. I followed you advice and was only able to load windows after bumping CPU Vcore to 1.375v and QPI/VTT to 1.595. Is it safe to be operating at such a high voltage? The difference in voltage between 1800mhz to 2000mhz seems quite large. Vcore at 1.32v and QPI/VTT at 1.355-1.415 will only boot to Verifying DMI Pool Data.

That's normal, you need an aftermarket CPU cooler for DDR3-2000 on X58.
