Yes in theory it would just mean an incompatibility but usually that is only what we are talking about. There are many different  spec memories around that will work with one board and not another. It doesn't mean they are necessarily "faulty" but not to the correct specs.

I’ve now tried it 9-9-9-27 @ 1600mhz and it gave me a bsod again.

I have not changed the uncore or QPI/VTT as I would not know what to change them too.

I think the memory is good because I put it in my brother’s comp which is newer then mine and it worked fine using the xmp profile, he played a few games for a couple of hours without issue.


If you are trying to run 1600Mhz from 133Mhz currently, you may need 1.25-1.4+ QPI/Vtt, depending on your CPU, uncore settings, and the memory timings.

If you set memory multi to reach 1600, you must also set the uncore multi to 2x the memory multiplier or 1-2 above.

Oooo!

Setting QPI/VTT to 1.4 and setting uncore to x25 I now have 1600mhz without errors or bsod \o/

Thanks, shall use these setting for a little while and see if anything goes wrong after extensive use.

Nice to hear you got it going!

Now, you can test for a while, then see if you can use less QPI/Vtt or not.   If you can't, but you want to due to temps or otherwise, you may have to lower the Uncore multi back to only 2x ram multi.

But you are fine with using 1.4 QPI/Vtt if you want, just thought I'd drop some more thoughts here for you.

Glad to hear you got things going smoothly now!

Also, these may come in handy for you to while you are tinkering around with BIOS adjustments:

BSOD Error codes and what they mean:
0X00000050 << Incorrect Memory Timing/Freq or Uncore Multi
0X00000124 << Incorrect QPI/Vtt Voltage (To Much/Not Enough)
0X00000101 << Not enough Vcore Voltage
0X00000109 << Not enough or too Much memory voltage
