SolarNova, saddly the sabertooth at least dosnt apply xmp profiles and dosnt use standard naming conventions for its timings.

thats a post I made.

another useful thread is http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard

I use the 280buss 1866 ram option working great for me

the cure to get the ram to run at 1866mhz for 2×8gb sticks usualy is a slight volt bump on ram if you are after 4 sticks very few can get that stable but for starters bump voltage to around 1.6v if it is oem 1.5 then set the ram timing delay from 1t to 2t then try again if no go repeat and loosen timings a bit.

There are tonns of RAM kits out there than can do 1866mhz at 1.5v, even 2133mhz.
Corsair do their Dominator Platinum 16gb quad channel 2666mhz RAM at 1.5v.

rick, you dont need to do that with an 8100 or 8300, my kit does 1866 at below stock volts(1.5 vs stock of 1.55) if overclocking using fsb+multi method you need to bump the cpu/nb volts a bit, as show in in the guide I linked.

read the guide, click the spoilers and read them……if you want best perf out of your rig that is, if not, then dont bother.

i was just stating common things to do if your ram will not run at 1866mhz with 4 sticks options to try not set rules. hince set to 2t / loosen timings / last resort up volts to ram these are listed in order to try lol volts i dont like to raise on ram lol. The tweaks i just listed are very common practice to get higher stable clocks on ram.

the above tweaks also often allow you to run 32gb of ram on the asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 board . I know first hand lol i have 32gb of ram i know overkill but i said what the hell lol i had to change to 2t period to get any more than 2 sticks to run even 1333mhz ram on this board the 1866mhz ram i had to manualy set in bios to 1866mhz and then also had to loosen timings 1 number higher and bump volts a hair by 0.05 aka 1.55v to get it stable and able to boot.

i want to point out i am 6hour stable on prime95 with the setting to test ram as much as possible and trust me prime usualy will cause a reboot within a few minutes if there is a ram issue.

you seem not to notice what board/chip/ram im running……or what clocks im running at :P(cr1 is t1)

yes I know but generaly sets of rams wont do 1t with 4 sticks was why I had that in there about 2t if someone cant get it to post going down the list I made offers a fast easy remedy in most cases.

actually rick, its not the ram that wont do 1t, most times these issues are memory controller based, ask on XS for example, or the ROG forums, thats why, when buss clocking or ram clocking, sometimes you gotta give the cpu/nb a small boost(thats the memory controller)

i been at this a long time, and read alot about the fx line before i ever got one, and even more after I did, these chips memory controllers are alot better then the old phenom II controlers

yes I know I was just stating the simple solution to get it to post without any overclocking aka the poor dumb and sure way to get it to post I am a very heavy overclocker and have learned not all are the same and at the hint of you mentioning overclocking to fix an issue they decide to ignore you dumb on theyre part but happens alot

I also know that nb overclocking usualy results in the best performance overall and often stabilizes overclocks in other areas lol
