I'm pulling my hair out here.
I've had this memory for over a year and while my system has been mostly stable, it's also had periods of really bad performance. During that time I only had one of these DIMMs installed and now I've put my second one back in, and again I'm wondering: WTF timings am I supposed to be using?
Motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD80v2 (just updated BIOS to most recent)
CPU: AMD FX-8150
BIOS auto-detect: 11-11-11-28-2
Stated Spec: 9-9-9-24-2
XMP: 9-9-9-25-2 (found via CPU-Z)
In all cases it's reading as 1600 fine.
I haven't tried the XMP stated setting yet, but everything else I've found has lead to memtest eventually freezing.
I've never actually used memtest before so maybe this is a common problem, but I hate letting my system sit in a state where it seems less than stable. It's gotten me tempted to buy new memory altogether, but I'm hoping not to have to.
Anyway... pointers?
Thanks
