anybody have any suggestions for my problem . cant get memory to run at 1866 tried xmp tried manual settings , cant even use simple cpu up . always crashes the bios to 55 on the board and must clear cmos just to post again . other than that system working fine and runs games ok but would like to play around with overclock as i spent a lot of money building this system . not much help from asus . told me to rma memory but i dont think anything wrong with the new memory or maybe i should buy another set , something different
OK so that's a single kit at a frequency that should work no problems. Have you tried updating the BIOS of your board? If you do and you still have problems...i.e. the kit will not run at XMP...try one stick at a time in the red slot just to the right of the CPU but really the RAM should run at spec and if it doesn't you should probably return it.
i5 3570k and i guess maybe the rog tech was right , just need to rma the memory or i will buy one stick of small memory from the vendors list and see if that will work .
Well the CPU does a lot of things these days and the IMC (memory controller) is on the CPU so it would be good to test another stick of DDR3 RAM with the CPU if you have the possibility...but you said the PC runs fine with the RAM at default (1333) right...which does make me suspect the kit more....but the mmore you can test before having to send stuff back the better...
