Ripjaws DDR3-1600 and p8p67 pro

[AzNPinkTuv]

My p8p67 Pro and sandy bridge rig has been pretty nice to me so far, no major upsets.

only thing that ive noticed is that in cpu-z as well as ASUS monitor, it shows the max bandwith of my memory modules to be pc-10700?

the model number shows as 12800 in the serial as seen below and I have manually set it to ddr3-1600 but only shows up as 800mhz in cpu-z.

is something wrong here or am i just being retarded?

It's a bios issue. I have the same memory and it comes out as 1333 for me. I had to manually force 1600 in one of the settings.

It's probably just that the P67 is too new for CPU-Z to detect or to display the info accurately. My CPU-Z always show 16x100 even though it's running 50x100.

ddr = dual data rate
800 x 2 = 1600
XMP profile on your RAM is the only 1600 (non JEDEC) setting
Without XMP you are only programmed to do 667 (X2 = 1333) max.
You either have to manually input all mem parameters to get 1600, or select XMP extreme mem profile
these dif settings are programmed into the 1/4" square SPD (serial presence detect) chip on RAM PCB
if you select XMP may not boot if actual voltage is slightly less than bios readout

I have the same issue and am wondering about that too as I am not able to boot without BSOD when setting XMP or manually to 1600.

At 1333 or Auto there are no stabiity issues.

Running Asus Bios 1053 at the moment.

Here is my screenshot.

you are gonna have to raise dimm voltage to 1.55 or even 1.6V which wont hurt anything and up the PCH PLL voltage a bit. 4GB sticks are a whole dif ballgame.

you can go to xtremesystems.org

they have dozens of threads on various P67 and what works (intel HW forum) - tho they go a bit overboard (but not for 24/7 use). What you especially need to look at is the screenshots from dif configs/posters so that you can use them like a template, like for what to turn on or off and what raised from default voltages are safe
Takes a while to get the hang of things - like anything else

As stated I can either set XMP and get my 7-8-7-24 rating 1600 on the BIOS or manually change it. I am also using Ripjaws X Series at 1.5v.

When using the latest stable bios, it worked great. Now a couple times with 1053 it has said Overclocking Failure when I had only changed the RAM to XMP. But for now it's been working good.
