    2133 RAM wrong timings

    I recently installed a set of Quad 2133 mhz ram with timings @ 9 11 10 28. After two sets of 2133 ram i realized my mobo just doesn't work with the xmp profiles the ram has. Without the XMP enabled I had to manually set the everything for a stable boot. My question is: Should I play with my...

    I have played in game for a few hours now with the timings at auto and everything feels much faster than the dual channel g skill 1600 mhz with lower timings. What would you recommend considering the w/o the xmp profile I'm @ 14-14-14-38. Seems high to me but it feels much cleaner than the 1600...

    I'm not very knowledgeable on timings with ram but I believe it means milliseconds. Is leaving it at 14-14-14-38 bad or would I even notice it in gaming?

    Yeah the voltage and vssca were manually set to get it to boot since xmp wouldn't boot. vsca @1.2 as you told me and voltage @ 1.65.

    Well the RMA is still being sent in but I had already ordered the G Skill. Sure hope it does work out cause I would have to have 2 sets of ram. Anyhow I got the G Skill set earlier, played around some and got it working @ 2133. The XMP profiles do not work though, wouldn't boot with either set...

    Sorry for the long pauses but some nights I don't post or just am beat from work. @ Saint: Two sticks work just as well as all 4 ,but 2 sticks or 4 sticks never work with XMP enabled. I read a bit more into XMP and realized that the corsair ram only supported 1.3 which is 3rd/4th generation i7...

    not sure if this helps or not but with XMP there is no "profile" it's either enabled/disabled.

    I truly have come to the conclusion at this point that my mobo only supports XMP 1.2 . The g skill ram i have is 1.2 and the corsair is 1.3 . The g skill boots every time with xmp enabled, the corsair never boots no matter what settings with xmp enabled. I tried every setting combination I...

    Alright. So I decided to take one last night and go all out and try everything. Spent about 2 hours trying everything. Same conclusion.

    also, what does setting the vccsa to 1.2 do, I have tried but I have no idea what it does. does it affect anything else when I change it?

    Yeah Tradesman helped me in another forum before purchasing the ram. The problem I faced with the Corsair set is that it won;t boot when I enable XMP. I also did try raising the vccsa to 1.2 but I didn't see any change with that, still a no post. The reason I thought about the g skill option is...

    I recently tried to upgrade my dual channel 1600 ram to quad 2133. After plenty of troubleshooting I realized it just wasn't going to run @ 2133 but does run @ 1866 in quad channel. Not sure if it is just a compatibility issue or if the motherboard on the Alienware Aurora R4 just has a...

    Quad Channel Memory

    I upped the VSSCA to 1.2 Didn't see any change in the ram that I can tell. Only thing I noticed was was the clock speed multiplier seemed to be at 12 from 10.

    Quad Channel Memory

    well it was already oc'd to 3.8 from 3.2 that second screenshot showed the multiplier at 38 and speed at 3799.11 I can try higher. I'll also look into the voltage you were talking about.
