Today I bought two new sets of RAM for my pc to replace the old ones. So I now have 2x 2 sticks of 8GB whereas I had 2x 2 sticks 4GB. The new RAM didn't work at first. After a lot of reboots I've managed to fix it by manually lowering the bandwidth in the BIOS. Could you tell me if there is another way to get the sticks working?
Some info:
- I've got a AMD 970 Extreme3 R2 mainboard;
- The new RAM is Kingston HyperX Fury 1866Mhz 32GB total (2 sets of 2 8GB sticks)
- According to AMD the mainboard supports this bandwidth;
- The system booted with one stick and two sticks at 1866Mhz. It didn't matter which sticks were slotted or in which slot they were;
- The system didn't boot with all 4 sticks at 1866Mhz, but does boot at 1600Mhz;
- I've tried raising the voltage by 0.05V, but that didn't help (if it worked at all, because CPU-Z keeps mentioning it's at 1.50V;
- The system also boots when 2 new and 2 old sticks are slotted (so 24 GB total).
Is there a way to increase the bandwidth back to 1866Mhz?
