Cold boot failures x58A-ud3r Rev2 bios FB

It is a little more complex than that but that would be the inference. Do the modules have a XMP attached?

[hello people]

No...these modules don;t have XMP.

And here is the screen shot of cpuz having flashed bios AND cleared VMI

Can you post a pic of your SPD tab?

[hello people]

Here you go...



Oops...it's a bit big...what do you make of it?

[Dark Mantis]

Right well your RAM will run at 1333 which is JEDEC#4 settings as long as it isn't faulty.

[hello people]

As an experiment to see if I could make it run at 1600....

... from default bios settings....to get my ram to run at spec (1600) I changed to these settings in bios:

memory multi - x12
uncore - x25
ram voltage - 1.66
timings 9 9 9 24/ command rate 1
qpi/ vtt - 1.315v

This is my cpuz:



The ram looks like it is running at the right speed now...but the 'Clocks core speed' is 1598.9mhz......shouldn't it be running at 2.8ghz/ 2800mhz?

[Dark Mantis]

It should be changing all the time depending on load. If it is in quiet mode then it will be down to 12x. It is recognising the CPU correctly as 2.8Ghz

[hello people]

wtf??

[Dark Mantis]

I take it that you didn't understand what I was talking about from your previous post. The BIOS power saving modes regulate the processors speed etc depending on what is called for. EIST (speedstep) etc cuts the CPU power back when it is not being used heavilly and boosts it when it is doing a lot of work.

[hello people]

So I wanna cut that?

Sorry I'm pretty drunk right now....but I'm trying to keep up

[Dark Mantis]

No need to do anything unless you want to overclock your system and then you have to set everything manually. Just have another drink and enjoy life.

[hello people]

I dont want to OC it

[hello people]

The settings came with an armed guard

[Dark Mantis]

Nice one! I agree with you in general, I prefer not to overclock as I hold reliability over speed any day.

[hello people]

If I buy new ram do you think I should buy 1600 again?
