I'm really sorry to revive an old thread! But I have good reason.
I left this issue out because it was driving me nuts for months, but now i have the Fx-8350 on my board.
I'm still having the issue where the clock speed is still set by memtest to 1333, if i choose the 1866 option (which was not there before) I can get to the windows boot screen then I get the lovely BSOD.
I have not changed any timings or running any manual overclocks though this is something I want to do in turn with getting my Memory to run at the advertised speeds.
What timings should i use with this memory?
What overclock is good but stable to achieve this?
New system specs:
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth 990fx rev 1
CPU: Amd Fx-8350
GPU: HD radeon 6870 triple slot
HDD: 2x 1TB WD black
Artic cooler accelero rev 7 (covers up DIMM 1) if this is a big issue, I am moving to water block soon.

I have a Asus Sabertooth 990fx motherboard, And Corsair vengeance 1866Mhz RAM
but I cannot get the RAM to clock at that speed, in the BIOS settings there is no option for 1866, only 1333, 1400, 1600
My system specs are as following:
AMD Phenom II 965 FX-8350
XFX Radeon 6870
Asus Sabertooth 990fx
XFX 750w PRO Power supply
Corsair 1866mhz 2 x 4GB
I am only able to use DIMM 2,3,4 as my headsink Artic freezer 7 pro rev 3 covers the first DIMM
I'm not sure if this could be the reason, but when i first built my system i had the stock cooler on and had the ram in DIMM 1,2 and still had the same problem.
currently my motherboard is overclocking the CPU. it is not a black edition, it is at 3.5ghz instead of the stock 3.3
I used to have a Phenom II 955 on an older Mobo and i could get that to hit 4Ghz. but i cannot seem to get the 965 to hit 4ghz.
If anyone knows how to overclock well with this UEFI bios and can tell me how to get the proper speed out of my ram and also get my CPU as close to 4Ghz as possible.
I will be so greatful!
Thanks in advance.
