1. Re: 1600 mhz ram advice (DZ68BC)
Jaskis Aug 11, 2012 11:29 AM (in response to serdal aksun)The most important piece of information is missing in case of this particular motherboard:
What is the BIOS revision of your board?
If it is 035 or later you are "doomed". Rev.035, 036 and 037 have plenty of memory stability/ configuration problems.

Jaskis Aug 12, 2012 2:55 AM (in response to serdal aksun)1 of 1 people found this helpfulYou can only downgrade to 035 or 036. The problem now is that all these "ivy bridge" BIOSes are complete junk.
You wont get your memory to work perfectly before Intel releases a proper BIOS for this forsaken board.
There is a very long thread here called "Still no fixed BIOS for DZ68BC". You can find what kind of memory configuration problems people are having with this setup.
UPDATE
I have done some work with my test bench regarding DZ68BC:
With following BIOS 035,036 and 037.
All stability / configuration problems seems to be RAM related.
I ran several tests with different configs.
Stability issues occured only with higher speeds than 1333MHZ. I had no problems to raise CPU clocks. If I loaded XMP profiles and ran
memory demanding tests -> BSOD/errors.
Intel Management Engine seems to be out of order as well.
