Hello everyone,
I decided to upgrade my PC as it's not had much love since I built it in 2013. Among other things, I upgraded the RAM from 2x 4Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR 1600Mhz to 2x 8Gb HyperX Fury 1866MHz. Unfortunately my PC refuses to boot with the RAM installed.
Are they incompatible? Or will some tinkering fix it?
My mobo is compatible with:
2 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 3000(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2600(O.C.)/2500(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Have I made a mistake by buying stock 1866MHz? I thought the Mobo supported 1866MHz but while troubleshooting I read that if the Mobo lists a RAM compatibility as O.C. it only applies to overclocked RAM. I struggled to find corroboration for this statement, and in actual fact found a few websites (PC Part Picker and digitech.ch) that stated this RAM should be compatible with the Z87i-Pro.
In my BIOS i can enable XMP, or manually specify the RAM settings. Could anyone tell me where I could find the settings to use? Or even just tell me that it's futile so I can return the RAM?
Thank you.
