    Using RAM faster than 1866 MHz with an AMD FX-8350. Possible?


    I have an FX-8350 and some DDR3-2400 Mushkin RAM. I have found that running the RAM any faster than 1866 MHz makes the memory controller cranky and I get memory errors. I have tried the RAM at the recommended timings and voltage for 2400 and 2133, as well as using looser timings with those speeds and no luck at all. Past 1866 MHz and I get memory problems.

    So my question is this: Is this a limitation of the FX-8350's memory controller? Or am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have experience running faster RAM with this CPU?

    :)

    Internet Connection Sharing causes "Failure to display security and shutdown options"

    So for some reason, whenever I enable ICS from my computer to my Xbox, I eventually (may take awhile but eventually) I will be unable to start any programs, I will not be able to use Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and trying to do so will give me the error "Failure to
    display security and shutdown options", and I cannot click on the Windows search bar to bring it up. Any suggestions?

    Things I have already tried:

    Reinstalling Windows

    Changing network card

    Restarting

    netsh winsock reset

    Checking for Windows OS corruption

    Googling

    Any other suggestions?

    Specs:

    Windows 10

    AMD FX-8350

    GTX 970

    Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 Mobo

    1 TB HDD

    16 GB of RAM at 1866 Mhz

    Using RAM faster than 1866 MHz with an AMD FX-8350. Possible?

    On the AMD FX series the max ram speed is 1866Mhz , this is according to the specification I read when I first setup my AMD PC's.

    Your best bet is to reset your settings in bios then downclock your ram to 1866Mhz (& don't touch any voltages or other ram settings), this will give you better latency & keep the CPU Ram Controller Happy...

    I thought that a speed limitation might have been the case. Thanks for confirming that for me.
