Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my new RAM from kingston (savage 2x8 GB 2400mhz). Did a cmos reset. After installing the ram, I got 4 beeps, the pc rebooted 3x and started. I went into bios and saw that the ram is running at 1600mhz, 1,55V.
I activated xmp profile 2 (2133mhz), saved and rebooted. again 4 beeps, two reboots and boot. in bios I saw that the ram was again running 1600mhz.
When activating xmp1 (2400) the pc booted and 2400 was indeed running. I accepted the initial hiccups and went on working with my pc.
tested the ram with memtest for 2h and it ran stable.
However, after round 8 days the pc suddenly beeped 4x at boot and after 3 reboots booted. I went into bios and I saw that the ram voltage is at 1,425 while running at 2400. That was weird so I tested the jedec and the xmp profiles again.
I managed to boot into bios with 2133mhz running and was shocked to see that instead of 1,6V dramv was as high as 1,725V. When I booted back into 2400 the dramv was at 1,875V, after reboot at 1,425V and 1600mhz ran at 1,55V.
I have no clue what is going on, either the ram is not compatible with my motherboard, the 8 days fried my memory controller (which is unlikely) or the ram is broken.
I removed the ram for now. can you help me please?
