Corsair XMS3 fails @2000mhz - Asrock Extreme4

[Kasraa]

Hi
I've bought one of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145325

They only run at 1866mhz max.
Any further the system won't boot. (system restarts and settings get back to 1066 default)
How should I get the advertised speed?

Motherboard: Asrock Extreme4
CPU: i5-3570K

Already:
- Loaded XMP Profile 1.2 (Only available memory profile)
- Updated BIOS to it's latest version. (2.8)

Thanks in advance.

You mean it's not possible to get above lets say 1866Mhz with 3570K?

Ok I think I see where your getting some misinformation or maybe not reading and understanding what's being read. You are convinced or worried that overclocking the BCLK will overclock the GPU and I'm trying to tell you that it won't , the quote that you posted earlier about it affecting the iGPU is correct but your not using the iGPU your usinG a dedicated GPU, there is a big difference. The iGPU is the Intergrated Graphics Processor Unit and it is build into the CPU so if you overclock the CPU or the BCLK it will affect the iGPU. To overclock the video card (GPU) You need to do that seperatly and it's not done in the bios, it's done in Windows with a program like MSI's AfterBurner or EVGA's Precision X. So please stop referring to the GPU being overclocked by raising the BCLK.

If you follow my instructions in the previous post you may be able to get your ram running at 2000mhz.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not questioning your knowledge at all.
I was wrong about the iGPU, but what about that post saying the whole motherboard including PCI-E and SATA will be overclocked? Or that one that said under ~103 is safe?
I'm not saying that you're wrong I just want you to clear things out, because I know only few basic things about these stuff.
Another thing is my poor English, I sometimes can't tell exactly what I want to say 🙁

I know about GPU overclocking software like MSI Afterburner or Sapphire TRIX (this one I used to overclock the GPU) and I also tried raising the BCLK to get 2000Mhz before and it was successful.

So what is the problem ?

Look I have a lot of experience with overclocking and have been doing so for a lot of years now. I have stated in many of my posts to you that it is not dangerous to do this, you are not adding voltage, you are raising the BCLK like you have already done, now you need to keep it there and if you can keep it there without adding voltage then there is no danger top your computer.

This is totally your call if you don't want to do it then don't but also don't keep asking for different ways to do something that we have already told you how to do it. There are only certain ways to do things and things can't be invented because you don't like what's been suggested.

Right now since you don't feel comfortable with what's been suggested then you should just run the ram at 1866mhz and leave it at that. There is nothing wrong with that clock speed it is a very good and fast speed and is not that much less then 2000mhz.

Excuse me if I was disrespectful.
Yes I've done it but I was worried about other parts being overclocked. If you're saying it's fine then it is

Now I tried again:

Is it OK?
I wish I could get it to run at exact 2000Mhz

Edit: I guess I have to set them @1600Mhz first, and then change the BCLK to 1.25

I did not say that you were disrespectful, I only stated that you were overly concerned with things being overclocked and people with experience were telling you that it is not something to worry about.
If your going to raise the BCLK then you will raise the CPU speed also so you will want to lower the multiplier and then raise the BCLK so that the CPU will go back to the speed that you have.
The ram should be set at what it will run at and if that is 1866 then set it there so you don't have to raise the BCLK as much.

Got it
No I had the cpu work @4.5Ghz , so I managed that BCLK to stay on 4.5 with 20001Mhz.

So thanks for being patient and great tips.
Cheers

Good job. I'm happy to see that you finally got to where you want to be .
