Memory holding me back?

[ocme]

Setup is:

i7-920 @ 3.988ghz - voltage 1.32, multiplier 21 x 190
Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1333 Memory (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145220)
Asus P6T Deluxe V2

I cannot for the life of me push passed this setting. It will boot at 4.2ghz but not stablize.

Why dont you lock the memory at stock, and test it?

 

[ocme]

It was set to auto. I have bumped the voltage to no effect, I have underclocked the memory as well and still nothing. Right now I'm just chillin at 3.990 because it refuses to handle a 200mhz BCLK.

Maybe the core will not do 4.0 GHz.

What temps are you getting on your cpu?
Have you tried a burn in test like linpack, prime95, or OCCT ye?

 

[ocme]

Yes, its prime95 and intel burntest stable. I'm guessing it just wont do over 4ghz either.

Temps under prime95/intel burntests are 75c, idle at 40c.

what BSOD error are you getting?

try 195x21 (if it post) then try
201x21 (up to 205) if it still wont post then you are limited to a 200blck.

imho your volts is enough (mine is fine 4.2ghz with 1.25v)
try to set the max volt of your mems (ie 1.65) and set it to auto.

i have an r2e that can only post up to 220 blck.
same with my new r3e too post up to 220 (others have passed 225-230)

as what blu3phoenix said tell us what bsod error you get (usually i get 101 - not enough vcore, 123 then you need to up your juice for the mems.)
