Default OCZ Gold DDR3 1600 Help!

I recently bought OCZ3G16002GK which is OCZ Gold Series 2GB (1XGB) DDR3 1600, but apparently it won't run at advertised speed. It is unstable anything above 1066MHz. Right now running 1066MHz with timings 7-7-7-20 @1.65v. It is stable for 1 hour 25 minutes so far. I have tried to run it at 1333MHz with timing 8-8-8-24 @ 1.8v before with stability issues. Please help! Thanks

Well, if it passed memtest, all I could really suggest would be to try manually increasing the voltage a bit extra, above 1.8v. Although, have you OCed your processor at all? I've had experiences with inability to run memory at the advertised frequency after an overclock.

Try 7-7-7-24 @1333 and 1.75V. If that wont work, try it with the NB V bumped up 2 slots and if needed try setting the NB clock and HT-Link to 2200.

How much should I up the NB V since my motherboard don't have a drop down list for this. User had to key in the number.

Um...if stock is 1.1 then try 1.2-1.3. But try 1.2 first. You want to get a stable overclock with the lowest V possible.

You did memtest on 2048MB of ram and it passed with 0 errors for 100% coverage? And you did Prime95 on Blend and it failed? You dont have the cpu overclocked at all do you?
