Let's start with specs:
Core i7-920@nominal
ASUS Rampage II GENE
MSI GTX 750Ti Gaming
Kingston 240GB SSD
WD Caviar Blue 500GB
PSU 450W Zalman
So, before spending my precious piastres on a new CPU I've decided to add some RAM to my rig.
Initially I had a 3x2GB set of OCZ Platinum I bought a while ago, and even though it never reached the claimed spec, I was still able to run it at 1333MHz 8-8-8-21 @ 1.60V, or 1600MHz with much higher timings.
Few days ago I got very "lucky" and bought exactly the same set of approximately the same age(~5-6 y.o.).
An attempt to install 12GB failed and caused HW freezes and periodic reboots. Separately both sets perform equally well, but when all 6 RAM slots are occupied I was only able to achieve stable operations at 1066MHz 7-7-7-16.
I had some success starting these sticks at 1333MHz and higher and they've passed memtest86+ and Prime95, but immediately crashed my PC after starting any kind of video game.
I can imagine there are many people who still has or used to have an x58 platform and had to deal with this particular brand of memory (OCZ had the cheapest crap on the market at the time ).
I've already disabled all virtualization and power management features in order to have 12 gigs working. Current memory voltage is set to 1.65V and I don't think I want to push it any further due to heat (unless you can prove me that it's worth it).
So, here comes my question: how do I make these suckers run at least 1333MHz without crashing my PC.
