problems with F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH on ASUS P9X79 Pro Motherboard

[muhkuh]

Seems to be that I made a mistake... after running prime for more than 5hours the errors still occur.

So until now I tried different VCCSA and VTTCPU combinations and also the power saving options (C1E, Speedstep) but nothing worked...

btw. the 16GB kit (F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH) is now also included in the QVL list of Asus for my motherboard... the 32GB kit not but if I am right that?s just twice the 16GB F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH kit. Actually I bought that kit to use XMP and that I don?t have to adjust any settings so I am very sad about the current situation (I invested now hours and hours of time). I just don?t get them working with 2133 Mhz!!!

Didn't see GSkill out today, prob tied up with the email/phone support, hopefully Wed

I updated yesterday to the new asus bios version (1010). After running prime tonight I had for the first time a bluescreen...

Post pictures of your best settings and I can see what's going on.

actually the only setting with no error is default (no xmp activated).

I made of almost everything now screenshots:

You show the VCCSA voltage as auto, might try manually setting that to 1.20 and trying that

VCCSA standard is shown as 1.25V. Do you really think that my problems could be solved by undervolting?

[Tradesman]

It might be worth a try, VCCSA (System Agent voltage) is touchy and the BIOS developers are still getting a feel for how much is needed, too much can cause unstability as well as to little, could try and always go back, other off hand option is a little more to the VCCIO or the DRAM

[GSKILL TECH]

VCCSA is not 1.25V standard nor default..

Never ending story...

VCCSA 1.20V doesn?t make any difference...

I tried also what one in the asus forum told me: "I haven't tried the XMP profile. I set the RAM frequency and timings (9-11-10-28) manually in the BIOS. The voltage was automatically set to the correct value." --> on my first test run I didn?t had any errors!!!... after a second try I again got the old errors...

[Tradesman]

How is it now?

[muhkuh]

I still have the same problems.

[GSKILL TECH]

Have you tried XMP with one or two modules at a time? That can help us determine if it is a voltage problem.

Thank you

what I tested now is using XMP in 1866 MHz mode which seems to be working perfect... so do I still have to try using only one or two modules???

[GSKILL TECH]

You should try each one to make sure they can do DDR3-1866 or DDR3-2133.
