4x4gb @2133Mhz
Hi all, I have an Aurora R4 bought on september 2012 and I want to upgrade from 8GB ram to 16GB configuration
Actually I have 4x2GB module Patriot Viper extreme (provided by Dell) set at 2133MHZ.
I know that some people have 4x4GB working @2133mhz, so I need to know exactly what module is compatible with Aurora R4 to have working 2133MHZ config
Anything like Gskill, Patriot, Corsair with exact part number.
Thankyou

Lot of people tried updating to 4x4GB and 4x8GB at 2133, but with no success: excluding some exceptions all of them working at 1600mhz or not working at all
I need advice form people that had success in 4x4GB 2133 config about what module part number is able to achieve those speeds.

You could also try posting this on the Notebook Review and Alienware Arena forums for this information.
Hi there,
I have aurora r4 i7 3930K. I wanted to upgrade to 4x4GB and bought G.Skill 4x4gb 2133mhz quad channel sticks. It took me a week and lots of trouble to get to where I am now. I got them working but unstable at 2133mhz so now they run at 1600mhz until I find a better solution. I mismatched first so that the bios would go to xmp mode but it went unstable. I do not understand why does dell not give us tested profiles so we need not bother with manual experimenting but overclock easily!

16GB 2133MHz PC3-17000 was never validated by Dell. We only validated 8GB PC3-17000 (4x2GB). We tested/validated our Dell OEM memory below =
6CY34 2GB, 2133MHz, PC3-17000, Non-ECC, DDR3, 256x64, XMP, Kingston
9W02G 2GB, 2133MHz, PC3-17000, Non-ECC, DDR3, 256X64, XMP, PatriotFor our 2133MHz XMP ram, you must go into the Bios -Advanced -Frequency/Voltage Control -Extreme Memory Profile and choose Profile 1.
