990FXA-UD3 (f6f bios) with Kingston KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX memory.

Bought a set of KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX (2x4GB) memory kit from Kingston. Previously I had Kingston HyperX blue installed in the computer set to 1600mzh and de speccs Kingstons specified and all worked fine. I took those out installed the new, powered the computer on only to be met by a blackscreen and fans spinning but sounded like it rebooted at times, but no post at all. Tried removing one of the new memory sticks to only run with 1, same issue. Only way for me to get around this was to remove the new memory place the old memory back, then the computer booted. I set all the memory settings to auto. Removed and installed the new memory again, computer booted. Went into bios to change it to the settings specificed by Kingston rebooted and... blackscreen and fans spinning no boot at all. Tried to do a power down and wait for a few no change. Only got the computer booting again with the old memory installed again. I bought an 8GB kit to replace my 4GB kit with has a higher voltage req. But as soon as I try to run the computer with the new memory at the timings and volt specified by Kingston I can't get the computer to boot. I was planing to sell the old memory so I can't have it like this, I wan't the new memory to run at its set speed not 1333mzh. Even if I try running the sticks one by one at 1600mhz and at auto timing which is like 11 something when its supposed to be at CL9 does the PC boot. What can the problem be?! All out of ideas.
Noticed something called DQS Training Control was enabled in bios despite manual stating it by default should be off, could this have anything to do with it?

Hi

Glad to hear that you managed to solve your problem but would you mind sharing how you did it to help anyone else who might have the same problem.

All I ended up doing was to reset my bios to default, noted that DQS Training Control was disabled (I still do think this was the problem). Changed the memory timing and voltage to the Kingston specs and restarted and it all worked. All the things I did before was with DQS Training Control on for some reason, but as I stated in my earlier post I though it might been the problem. I still belive it was the cause of my problem.

In order to get my ram to run at 1600 rather than 1333

From the bios go into MB Intelligent tweaker

I had to pick the speed 1600 on Dram E.O.C.P ( dram easy overclocking Profile) ( bios F6f )

Then I had to set the memory clock to manual and change it from x6.66 to x8.00

Then go into the dram configuration and change the timing to manual no need to change anything, just set to manual , save and exit and reboot and memory running as required.

This is exacly what I did with the memory I removed to install the 8GB kit, but for the 8GB kit this didn't work. I did stat this is my initial post.
