    Tweaking Memory, suggestions please

    Been playing with memory timings/speeds a bit and can't seem to nail down a stable OC on the RAM past 2133, where it's rated. I would really appreciate any suggestions you guys could give!! I just don't reallly know enough about memory timings/2nds/3rds to know where to start tweaking to stabilize it at higher speeds. Adjusting the primary timings doesn't do the trick, wont go stable at 2200 with 10-12-11-32-2T

    R4G
    Mushkin 993997, kitguru.com was able to hit 25xx mhz with the kit.
    The rest is in the Screen Shot:

    Thanks in advance.

    Well I found the answer for myself, hopefully this helps someone in the future. I enabled Rampage mode 2 in the RAM timings area and bumped the CPU VCCSA voltage to 1.225v and VTTCPU to 1.225, then set the 20uf option in the bios and resulted in this stable:

    Here is my ram for the moment..

    I dont mess so much with this machine ( i am at now ), the stability is a key factor, because its my "work-computer"

    i play it safe with the OC..

    1866mhz , 1,5v 16gb (4 sticks) (stock)

    1960mhz 1,6v 16gb (4 sticks) Mild OC

    44512 points in memtweakit..

    The combined power between the 3930K, and the ram, is awesome..... Great value for the cent..

    I think the quad channels is great, and perform superb.. dont you?

    Thanks for the confirmation, when experimenting with a new setup it's nice to have even after making educated guesses about settings :P

    Claviger now you have your settings I would manually input each one in bios then you dont get system instability during memory training. You could also try tweaking the settings further if you wish in Windows using memtweak testing and then again moving these settings to Bios. Great effort so far!!!
