Hello.
I recently purchased an ASUS P8Z77-V LE, i5-3570K and 16GB of Patroit G2 series RAM. The RAM port number is PGD38G1600ELK, and I have 4x4GB of it installed on the motherboard. I'm planning to use this system as my "reliable system" so I didn't go to crazy with my motherboard selection. I'm planning to purchase an i7 with a higher end motherboard later this month for my crazier work.
I was under the impression that the RAM support DDR3-1600Mhz speeds, however whenever I try to run the RAM at that speed my system crashes while Windows 7 is loading. Everything is stable at DDR3-1333. I've tried running with only 8GB of RAM (one 4GB stick installed in each blue RAM slot).
Here are some of the settings of I've tried.
I used the load optimized defaults feature of the BIOS and then went into AI-Tweaker II screen and set the "Ai Overclock Tuner" to X.M.P mode. This sets the "Memory Frequency" to DDR3-1600Mhz automatically. That causes Windows 7 to crash while booting.
I've also used the above settings and manually set the DRAM voltage to 1.65V. That made no difference, my system still crashed while booting.
Does anybody have any thoughts on why I'm experiencing these issues?
I'm pretty new to overclocking so I would appreciate any help, and also pointers to any good guides.
