Title: GA-X79-UP4 (rev. 1.0) with 2400 Memory
Post by: johanbar on January 05, 2013, 01:17:01 am

Hi guys

Has anyone been able to run the GA-X79-UP4 (rev. 1.0) at 2400 MHz on the RAM.  I have 2400 Kingston in my mobo and it detects it under "Profile 1" but alas even with Extreme Memory Profiling it fails to boot.

Has anyone been able to tweak the bios for this to work?

Thanks
J

Hi i have the same mother board as you do. I have Corsair Dominator GT 2133 ram and like you i havent been able to get the ram to go any faster than 2133 whicjh acording to the mother board spec is as fast as the mother board will support. Even at 2133  i have some stability issues in particular when i launch media centre and sometimes sidebar. Have you achieved a higher clock speed than 1600 completely stable? If so what timings etc?

I had things running at 2133 for a time as well, but after adding a second 7970 it had a lot of stability issues.

I think the problem is not with the UP4, but the Sandy Bridge E's memory controller, its simply not as fast as the performance counterpart, but it's quad channel so it more than makes up for it. Perhaps when the Ivy Bridge E's ship, we will be able to unlock our 2400Mhz DDR3s.

I have had my board for about six months and I have never had a problem with my 32gb - 2133 memory.

The board only supports DDR3 - 2133/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules.

I don't use any profiles all, I only set the speed at 2133. Leave everything else a lone.

Like I have said in the past if you run 1066 to 2133 most people will never see the performance difference.

Will the board work with 2400Mhz memory. Thus will it just scale it down to 2133Mhz but work with the 2400Mhz? Is there a BIOS Setting that needs to be changed or will it auto adjust?
