Still not working...

Now I started from Optimized defaults again.
this sets uncore to 2667
and RAM to 1066.
If I only change uncore to 3200,
auto sets RAM to 1333.

but I`m not able to get the ram to 1600.
As far as I remember the only thing I haven`t tried
is to play around with voltages and latency settings.

I give it a couple of more tries then I leave it...
If anybody has any ideas I`d appreciate it!

Thanks for the replies!

If those settings by Andrea deluxe don't work, then your memory is probably faulty.
You can try switching places of your mem sticks (123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321) by marking them with numbers on sticky tape.
BTW, which memory slots on MB are you using, blue (1,3,5) or white (2,4,6)?

Good guestion.
I didn`t put it together myself.
I have 2 x 3 x 2 gig dominators so I think I use all the slots.
I tested everything with every possible test software,
and I`m using it for month without any problem on optimized defaults.
Can they be still faulty?

Does it help if I post CPU-z or HW monitor screenshots?
I`d like to be sure that bios settings are absolutely ok,
before I start tiering in pieces my pc or take it back with
warranty.

again, thanks for help!

*Sorry, I wasn't paying attention...
Try with only one memory kit, then the other, but don't mix them up. I presume that kits are in same color slots. Looks like that they just don't work together so good.
It could also be that you need more CPU VTT cause of more stress on memory controller due to all slots used.

I checked inside, it`s so overcrowded.
I have a big cpu cooler, the biggest thing I can put inside is eating stick.
I leave it for last.

What about CPU VTT?
I guess I go back to optimized defaults and
set uncore to 3200 and ram to 1600 and
try to lift CPU VTT until I`m stable.
What is CPU VTT called exatly? I find
CPU Vcore, QPI/Vtt, CPU PLL at load line calibration.
What is the highest safe value I should try?

Thanks for reply!

CPU VTT is called QPI VTT on GB boards. Intel's specs say 1.35V, but usually people use up to 1.45V for everyday use.
