Hi all
I'm in need of help with my recently upgraded system. I suspect my ram may be faulty.
Specs are:
Asrock Xtreme9 x79
i7 3930k
ARES F3-2133C9Q-16GAB
Gigabyte gtx 680
Corsair H80 Cooler
Seasonic 1000w platinum PSU
Firstly I am unable to get the system stable when running the ram at it's advertised spec (2133mhz 9-11-10-2N) 1.65v). When running prime95 i get rounding errors, sometimes within 10 minutes other times after an hour, seems completely random when the errors occur. This happens when processor is at stock clocks or overclocked. I tested today with xmp setting in bios set to 'standard' as oppose to 'xmp-1' 'xmp-2' or 'auto', and was prime stable for 11 hours with no errors.
Also occasionally while playing bf3 the game crashes (game freezes and a weird, short buzz sound comes out of speakers, then crashes to desktop). The application is still running in task manager but the system is unresponsive until close the application through task manager. Could this be ram related?
Thx in advance for your help
