GA-X79S-UP5-WIFI RAM issues

[Scracy]

Never have got a straight answer from gigabyte i ended up on the corsair forum to get the right answer in my case. Since upping the vram to 1.6v and having xmp enabled i havent had any bsod etc caused by the ram. Though dominator ram in my case is rated at 1.5v you can apparently quite safely run a vram upto 1.9v without damaging the ram only thing to really be wary of is to be careful with the memory controller voltage. Officially 3930k only supports 1600mhz ram but a few people have managed 2400mhz seems to come down to silicone lottery to some extent. Also keep in mind its harder to overclock both cpu and ram together it is a bit of a balancing act cpu at 4.6ghz and ram at 2133mhz seems to be the best compromise i can achieve with the components i have.

@X79s

Yes your CPU supports ECC Registered memory, but the board only supports unbuffered ECC memory.

That could be the problem. Do have other memory you can try.

i saw on the giga website
there is a new beta bios for e5-2680 v2
my cpu is 2660 v2
i thing i must update to date bios to f5b

Support for non-ECC memory modules.  It is unbuffered not Registered.

What I meant to say is you have to use Non-ECC unbuffered memory sorry.

Here is a link to the board. http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4049&dl=1#dl

Just click on the CPU/Memory - Support & Download tab. Then click on the Memory support list.

Plus this is the kind of memory you need. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231180

One other thing is that if you are going get memory get 4 sticks too.

That way you will be running in Quad Channel. If you only use only 2 sticks you will be in Dual channel.

That CPU 2660 v2  is not supported on that board too. I don't know where you were looking. Can you give us the link to update.

Why would Gigabyte do something like that. As the saying goes you are in a rock or hard place.

Your CPU isn't in the list. Now looking at the spec from that site it could be the CPU that is the problem.

You might need to do that update to get it to work. Can you bring back to where you got it and see if they can update it for you.
