Hi... I have the following:

motherboard: DFI X48-T2R (BIOS: 0725)
memory: F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ (2 sets = 8GB total)
cpu: Intel C2Q Q9550

I currently have my system running at 3.4GHZ stable. That's 400fsb x 8.5. The memory divider on the motherboard is set to 333:667 (1:1); timings are 5-5-5-15 @ 2.10v. A couple of changes to the memory settings:

Enhance Data Transmitting: FAST
Enhance Addressing: FAST
T2 Dispatch: DISABLED
Channel 1 CLK Crossing Setting: More Aggressive
Channel 2 CLK Crossing Setting: More Aggressive
CH1CH2 Common CLK Crossing Setting: More Aggressive

My system will run stable (using Prime95 and IntelBurnTest) for hours on end.

But I can't go over that. At first I thought it was the cpu/motherboard, and that I needed to play around with those settings. BUT, if I leave the above settings as is, and just change the memory divider to 333:400 (5:6) to try to run the memory at DDR2-960 speed, I start failing both Prime95 and IntelBurnTest. I left the timings the same (5-5-5-15 @ 2.10v) and changed the other memory settings back to 'AUTO'. Still can't get the pass either test.

If I set everything in the BIOS back to default values (running the fsb at default 333mhz), I can pass both tests running with a memory divider of 333:667 and 333:400 - but not with 333:1066. SO - my question is: "What do I need to do to get my memory stable over DDR2-800????"

It might be because your filling all four slots? Some motherboards don't operate well in this configuration.

Try increasing the NB voltage, the boards chipset may be capping out since you are using all 4 slots.

Clock Crossing: More Aggressive :nono:

I did DDR1100 while ago on this board, all timings set in BIOS, vDIMM: ~1.900v via DMM, vNB: 1.41v via BIOS, 8/20 BIOS ver.

Weakest stick is closest to the CPU.

I'm running the ram at 1ghz no problem with 4 sticks... chances are he needs to up the NB voltage.

These sticks are VERY testy about setting subtimings manually with certain boards. My 4GBPQs hate my Biostar I45 much over DDR2-900 on any divider combo, and letting the board configure timings by SPD is a bad, bad idea. All the NB volts in the world won't help you unless you can get ahold of the complete subtimings for these sticks and set the values manually. I finally ditched them and got some Kingston.
