I have this kit (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/8gb-(2x4gb)-corsair-vengeance-blue-ddr3-pc3-12800(1600)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-xmp-15v) and I've tried using the XMP profile, it does the same thing.

That desk looks real nice, what's it like for space?

OK, so I have a bit of a problem. I need a new Ikea desk but it has to be one that can be purchased online via the Ikea UK site and it needs to be no more than 130-140cm wide but I need a desk that can hold the following: LG W2361V Logitech G19 keyboard & G500 mouse PC tower Xbox 360 Logitech...
