Hi Babdi,

I would strongly recommend that you pull your RAM back to 1333 MHz.
Like you I can get my RAM running at 1600 MHz and everything seems all right but it is a big chance you are taking with the Memory Controllers on the CPU and AMD have themselves stated that everything can seem to be running fine only for the system to suddenly become unstable and then fall over requiring the CPU to be replaced.

You can add me to the list of peeps that lost their cpu do to running the ram at 1600..Fortunately it was only the 95$ x720..I just replaced it with the 1055T..the 50$ savings instead of buying the 1090T went to adding a second set of Adata 2x2g 1600g..all 4 sticks happily running at 8-8-8-24 cr1T 1333

Yes it is not an unusal occurance and often people wont take any notice and think we are just scaremongering when we advise not to run at over 1333Mhz.
