X58A-UD3R (2.0) - A few questions and problems (Please read inside)

Personally I don't like any of these included programs but I expect that ET6 just bumps up the whole freqency range of everything and if that's the case then the memory will fail before the processor. If it is already running faster than normal and then you apply the OC it will put it over the top.

I have tried to clock separately aswell.
At 1333MHz, it hangs, same as 1600.
However, if I only clock the CPU, the comp works good. Strange huh?

Does  the memory have an XMP attached and if so have you tried using it?
Are you sure the memory works at 1600? or even 1333? I take it that it works fine on the JEDEC standard setting of 1066?

The funny thing is that I cannot find the XMP anywhere on the Mobo, alltho, its written in the manual.
Also the support told me to go there but there is no such option.
However, my other memories worked good at 1333 and even 1600, however, the bluescreen came by then.

Tried an hour back to clock to 1600mhz @ 1.64v but failed.

If you have an associated XMP setting it will be accessed from the "MIT" section of the BIOS and under "Advanced Clock Control" youn will find a setting for Extreme Memory Profile.

I have been searching for XMP several times, It doesnt exist in my BIOS.
Also the support told me to check it and at the same time, It didnt exist.
So I dont really know how to access it, it seems like ET6 is the only way to manage the memory settings?

Can you post you motherboard, revision number and BIOS version please?

[absic]

It's mentioned right at the start of the thread DM. Do you need some glasses?

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, X58, Socket-1366, DDR3, ATX, USB3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, 2xPCI-Ex(2.0)x16, Revision 2.0

Actually funny you should mention that.....

I must admit I didn't look that far back anyway I still need the BIOS version(or did I miss that too?)

Only joking.

Hehe
However, Its lunchtime and I'll be back in a few hours.
I hope you come with some kind of suggestion I could try
Thanks!

Well the bad news is that your memory can't support XMP then as according to the manual it only shows up as a BIOS option if the installed memory supports it. Page 39  http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-x58a-ud3r_v2.0_e.pdf

If absic isn't around maybe it's safe to ask what memory you are currently running. Exact model number please.

I suppose It's "TR3X6G1600C9 * PC3-12800 6GB Kit 9-9-9-24 240pin DIMM", and I provide the link to the webshop:

Well there is a bit of a weird situation here. The Corsair website says that this particular memory does support XMP and yet the BIOS on your motherboard can't find it. That leaves us with two alternatives

1) The SPD on the memory is faulty or not programmed right
2) The BIOS is faulty in not reading it

Is there any reason you can't flash back to BIOS version FA?

Hmm ye, Then I got the same problem as before, missing memory.
