    I've bought 2 kingston hyperx 2133 memory.If I set freq @ 2133,computer cannot even go into bios.I have to down the freq to 1866.
    I've seen some people run 2133 memory at m17x r3 2630qm,so the problem will not be the cpu.

    These are the official memory specs:

    Memory module connectors four internally-accessible DDR3 using JEDEC SODIMM
    sockets
    Memory module capacities 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB
    Memory type up to 1600 MHz, unbuffered non-ECC, single-channel and dual-channel DDR3 configuration
    Memory configurations
    possible 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB, 12 GB, 16 GB, 24 GB and 32 GB

    Any other configuration might cause stability or NO POST issues according to engineering. It might be that.
