Hi.. did you have to raise the voltage to 1.65 or did you achieve the 2400MHz speed at 1.5 V itself? Mb+proc is GA-Z87X-OC i74770K at 4.1 GHz..Thanks

I have two machines running i7 4770K chips on an Asus Sabertooth board. I could not get close to 2400Mhz on either one. I Regardless what board you are using, I would imagine you will be upping the voltage.

My DDR3 memory is currently using 1.512-volts running at 1333MHz. I commonly buy faster memory and run it slower for more reliability. This also lets me switch the faster memory to an updated memory board at a later time. Happy computing, Superticker2

Sorry but I am unable to identify your mother board! Is it GIGABYTE a GA-970A-UD3 AM3? If so the Gigabyte site indicates it needs 1.5V DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules. The Kingston units are 1.65v and may not operate successfully!

Kingston 2400 memory modules are great. I'm able to oc my Sabertooth x79 to almost 2400. No problem with compatibility and can be lowered to a lower speed if you wish. Great memory even if it is not listed in QVL.

Can't find your MoBo, but it runs a 24 pin connector, just make sure your MoBo runs on that and you're good, it runs voltage and frequency runs just about everything as well, don't see a problem

No, that does not sound right. I typically use 16xxMHz RAM with no problem. never wen higher than that on these boards.

this board is rated to DDR3-2400 so you are fine... I don't know where those other answers are coming from, it will clock correctly for your CPU / Ram combo then you can OC to wherever you want.... these other answers are completely wrong... it won't crash anything... it's completely automatic and works great... jeez

Your motherboard only supports 2400 as an overclock. That said, it could work, but it would be hit or miss as to whether you would get the full 2400mhz speed.

This would consume 1.8v instead of 1.6v. Technically it depends upon motherboard/ pc spec what ram they allow/limit. Going down from 1.8v to 1.6v was easier to assume. If there is no limitation from motherboard then then ram should work with slightly more power consumption.

I initially tried the Crucial 667MHZ RAM in my 1000he, and experienced a bunch of DLL initialization errors when shutting down. I believe they were tied to power management and overclocking. I replaced the memory with 800MHZ, no problems since.

It helps if you're doing any significant overclocking. I run mine at 1.1GHz and some high voltage level that I don't remember offhand, and without heatsinks I couldn't do that with stability.Even at lower clock speeds, the 10-20 celsius difference can make you "feel" better, although I don't know how much of a realistic difference it will make in terms of functionality and useful lifetime.

I'm running an Asus H97M-Plus Motherboard and I'm thinking I'll have to up the voltage to the Ram to it to run higher 1600!

I've got mine in a mini itx rig with a gtx 660 superclocked, i7 3770 3.4ghz, 1x160gb ssd, & 2x8gb corsair 1600mhz dimms... no power issues whatsoever. evga mobo.

The mobo description say yes, however, if you already have the mobo, make sure that you are able to set Latency: 11-11-11-27 and Voltage: 1.5V. Otherwise, you will find the blue screen of death all the time, running the memory at 2133.

I've overclocked 2 of these processors the first would do 4.6 and the second will do 4.7 with vcore at a max of 1.4 under full load. Your results might be better or worse, I'm using custom watercooling to keep temps under 70c and an Asus Rampage IV Black.

You need to check the specs on the mobo. Most commonly the motherboard will slow the speed of the ram down initially to boot. You can go into the bios an alter the speed after. Hope this helps. I run this ram on the maximus pro vi. It's fast.

Just remember not to exceed the 10a limit, I really don't recommend running it at 10a if you dont have to, and if you do, try to get more cooling. Make sure the plus and minus are the correct polarity, and (not neccessary, but recomended) put a little voltage moniter on the output, to make sure that it is not going above 19.5v

Yes, I can confirm the above specs on this memory. It's the only reason I paid so much for this stuff. Many memory claim to have specs like this, but this one actually delivered. On my Asus motherboard, some other memory, when put into XMP memory mode would give me a message that it failed to "Overclock". But this one has never given me that message. All the memory testing utilities show the voltage and timings to be these specs. It's the real deal. Enjoy.
