What is this RAM Issue?

[haashim]

When inserting my setup to PC Part Picker, I get these compatibility issues:

Some Intel X79 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Ivy Bridge-E CPUs.

and

The Kingston HyperX Beast 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Ivy Bridge-E CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

1) Ask the seller which BIOS version is installed, maybe it will require a upgrade to work with your CPU.

Is this a build you already have? In that case, the BIOS is obviously OK otherwise it wouldn't work and the RAM is obviously compatible since it clearly doesn't crash all the time.

Is this one you want to build? Go X99 and DDR4.

for the first issue that a warning for you to ask the seller of the mb what bios rev there selling now and for you to check to see if the bios rev that there selling is newish so that it will post with the cpu you want. most mb vendor have a cpu qal list that will tell you the bios needed to post that cpu. on the second issue it a warning that the ram your buying runs over the intel memeory spec of 1.5v for haswell in the older cpu memory controller that built into the cpu. you can use that memory but it may shorten the cpu life. most overclock ram has stock 1600 speed at 1.5v. when you put the ram in xmp mode for the 2100 speed it go over to 1.65v. myself i would use stock 1866 ram at 1.5v you wont be paying extra for the ram and in real life slightly slower ram you need a diag program to tell your using it. in games your not going to get less frame rates.

This is already my current build. I was just wondering as I have issues with inserting 8 sticks of ram and not 4.

I found out that one of my Ram slots in my mobo is defective and whenever I put a ram stick in there it goes into a boot loop. However when I enter a 5/6/7th stick of ram into the other available three then there is no video output.

Currently I'm working off of 32gb ram.

check with the mb vendor to see if filling all the ram slots with that memory on there qal list. with the newer cpu the memory controller is in the cpu and bad ram slots show up as bent pins under the cpu or you can have outdated bios.

Sorry I'm not really that advanced in terms of computer hardware. If you could dumb that down then I'd appreciate it lol.
