Windows 7: CML8GX3M2A1600C9W how to set them working at 1600

fireillusion · 05 Aug 2012

Hello.
I just bought a new set of ram (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W) because i had bsod issues with my previous set (two sets of the same memory different versions).
When i set them at xmp profile1 i get bsod (error 0x124).
Any ideas on how to set them up to work at 1600 without problems?

What Dram volt have you picked? according to corsairs site there are 1.35 volt ones and then there are 1.5 volt

But the 0x124 usually refeers to to little IMC/VTT

Assuming that the bsods root is the ram settings (99% sure) mine are rated for 1.35 volts on xmp at 1600 MHz and for 1.5 volts at 1333 MHz.
How much do I have to set the qpi/vtt voltage n order to be safe and stable? I tried 1.2 but no luck.

1.2 seems like a bit high and there should not be any need to increase it that high either, have you been overclocking your computer?

You could try to set the motherboard to default settings and see if the BSOD stops

The only setting that I overclock is the xmp for ram in order to work at 1600 MHz. All other settings at default. No other overclocking.
Yesterday I had two sudden restarts while playing bf3 without a bsod and the ram working at normal 1333 MHz.
Maybe there is a problem with my m/b.

To me it seems to be the motherboard is this motherboard old or new? and maybe there was no problems with your other rams, did you try them in a different computer? or have you tried moving them around, like for instance my computer refuses to even boot if I put my ram sticks in s2 & s4, if not maybe someone else can pop in and give some other advice

As per your other trend. RAM upgrade My post #19. Did you try this?
Set ram speed manualy (no xmp).

I know, I did the same as you. Check my specs. Your i860 chip is rated by Intel at 1066/1333 and you hav 1600 ram. In my case and maybe yours XMP put the setting even faster and Bingo BSOD. No two chips are the same but with proper cooling you could problably run the ram at 1600 if you set things manualy. Your memory controler is built into the cpu if I remember correctly so watch your cpu temps

I tried every possible way manually and automatically. The problem remains. I also tried different combinations. The only one that seemed to work is only with 4 GB of my original xms3. But I want to use 8 GB. My pc is 2,5 years old. I think it is time to start researching for a new one. I already opened a new thread asking for opinions.

How many trends do you have going on this one ram problem. It make it very hard to help you chasing you around. The last I understand is the bsod is gone as long as you don't use XMP. Is that still true.

fireillusion · 06 Aug 2012

With the new modules without xmp it runs more stable but still with some sudden restarts.
One thread I started when I had only my original ram and this one for the new ram. You are right. I have to close the other one.
