Default Maximizing System for Adobe - Need RAM help

I'm taking some online courses with my daughter to learn Adobe CS6 (Photoshop and Premiere pro).

I'm bumping up the system RAM and not getting the speeds I want. I've never used more than 6GB RAM (gulftown) and need some tips before I hang up my hat and blame the IMC.

This is the main rig on air, so I can't go crazy with voltage. Particularly since I'm limited to a single 25mm thick fan on the CPU cooler in order to fit 4 sticks of RAM.

Up till now I've been running 2X2GB @ 2200 c7.

Picked up a set of 2X8GB sticks rated 2133 @ 9-11-11-31. Best they'll do is 1600 @ 8-8-8-24. Won't boot at 2133. Won't even boot at 1866 with CL11!

I'm RMAing them in case they are the problem, but I suspect my IMC is screwing me.

To test, I combined 2 different sets of PSC's I have laying around to see how it does with 8GB.

2X2GB rated 1600@ 6-8-8-24 and 2X2GB rated 2200 @ 7-10-10-27.

Combined into a 4 stick 8GB set these won't even boot @ 2133, even at C11 (remember, they'll do 2200 C7 in 2X2gb form). But they'll do a decent 1866 MHz C7.

Any special tweak or obscure voltage I should know about when using a lot of RAM and all 4 slots?

If my IMC just can't handle faster than 1600 when using 16-32GB of RAM, then I'd rather save some dough and get much cheaper RAM.

Notice you're on 1T. Have you tried 2T?

Yep. No help. Haven't tried 3T. BTW, mobo is gigabyte P67 UD4.

Also, can tighten the tRP up to 7 but it's less stable and a little slower.

My error. Yep, they are the 6-8-6-24 1600's.

Thanks for the offer Splave, but I'm just testing with them to see how this CPU/board responds to different RAM setups. They're an extra set already.

Ultimately, I'll be putting 16 or 32gb in this rig using 8gb sticks.

Oh dyude, 8GB sticks. Ballistix Elite have dropped a lot in price. They use binned (highly) d9-pcp. which is lowvoltage laptop Ics on unsinked sticks.

Shit was so impressive. I hated selling it. But I did. I wont link my review cuz of Kal's dislike for previous owner but it made me cream and RAM reviews are SOOOOOOOOOOOO lame. I mean like wow im on acid and still find this boring as hell.... Cant think of any 4Gb chip that clocked like this. TCCD, BH5, GMH, BASE, nope not that dense.

1600 8-8-8 at 1.5v check.

2133 8-8-8 at 1.63v -1T check

I pushed 1.7 but no immediate difference. And I did not try offset (9.10-9 timings for example) cuz that is lame
