1Quik7 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I've got an older system thats overclocked and the RAM I have right now is stable 80% of the time but I do get blue screens from time to time. Flamingblade Gti i7-920 @ 4.2 G.Skill Black Pi DDR3 1600 (which due to the increased BCLK is running near 2300) I'm tied with just upping to 1866 or 2100 RAM and also I've noticed a lot of RAM is only 1.5v whereas mine is 1.65v...a little confused about that. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I've got an older system thats overclocked and the RAM I have right now is stable 80% of the time but I do get blue screens from time to time.

Any suggestions? 1.5 is the standard for the dimm slot/memory specification. Almost all aftermarket high performance ram timing's are quoted @ 1.65V Go to newegg, buy some decent ram, and don't overclock it until it's already at 1.65 or 1.7.

mmrmnhrm Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Are you sure it's the RAM (tested at your settings with Memtest86+ or equivalent), and not the overclock itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Run Memtest86+ in DOS. It will tell you if the RAM has a hardware failure. This is for sure the best way to test RAM without buying a stand alone memory tester. I am only going to suggest Corsair because fanboy. Vengeance is good line if you are into normal overclocking and not trying to break the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Quik7 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Forgot about Memtest. One of my sticks is bad. Picked up 8GB of Corsair Dominator GT that was on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
