New to overclocking

[draconisprime418]

OK, so I just got my rig set up and running at 21x191MHz (4GHz) woohoo!!!
The only problem I have is that I have Kingston RAM that is said to run at 2000MHz and I can only get it to go to x8 (1528MHz). If I set it to x10 (1910MHz) it won't boot. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

what's your DRAM voltage? Did you loosen up the timings?

 

[draconisprime418]

QPI/DRAM core voltage 1.2
I have the timings on auto

You should have another voltage setting for just the RAM. Check the manufacturer specifications for running your ram at 2000 MHz and manually set those parameters in your BIOS. It might be like 9-9-9-24 at 1.65 volts. Don't set QPI/DRAM to 1.65, 1.2 is probably fine. Just make sure not to set DRAM above 1.65.

The only way I can get the RAM to run at x10 is to set my QPI/DRAM voltage to auto. Even if I set the voltage to 1.4 won't run. I am concerned about running any voltage in auto while overclocking.
