Hey guys,
After 5 years I'm finally getting around to OCing my RAM to 2400MHz, but I'm having quite a bit of trouble. I've done some research and made adjustments accordingly, but have a few questions.
At default speeds and settings (1333Mhz and whatever the default timings are) I had to adjust the System Agent (henceforth SA) to 1.1v to get 32GB stable. For OCing, I've tried both XMP Profile 1 and Profile 2 (both of which use the same speeds, voltage, and timings, so I'm not sure the difference) and neither was stable. So I've made some adjustments.
I'm currently using the XMP Profile 2, which set the timings to 10-12-12-31, at 2400MHz, with 1.65v to the memory. "Stock" XMP Profile 2 was not stable (neither is Profile 1) using memtest or gaming.
I have since incrementally adjusted the memory to 1.71v, and the SA to 1.175v. When I stability test with memtest, the test always fails at Test 7 [Moving inversions, 32-bit pattern]. With everything I've read, SA @ 1.150v should be enough to get to 2400MHz, so I'm leary about adjusting that any higher, though I have read that supposedly up to 1.250v is safe. But I haven't seen any solid numbers on the max memory voltage that I can run...which is part of the point of this post.
I tried to upload the latest memtest report, but it seems that HTML files aren't allowed. I can try to sanitize it and upload as a txt if anyone wants to see it.
What do you guys think is the problem? Lack of SA voltage, memory voltage, or both?
What should my next step be?
How safe is it to keep pushing the voltages?
EDIT/UPDATE:
2200MHz w/ XMP Profile 2 (10-12-12-31) stable at DRAMv 1.665v, SAv @ 1.150,
