because you bought a major POS motherboard! Never skimp on the motherboard and NEVER buy ecs. I say by another Mobo. The memory voltage isnt the only problem your gonna have with that board

Non-sense.
I built my niece a Celeron and ECS board with some Corsair RAM 3 years ago, and that system is still up and running. And I've used ECS on two other occasions, so far, so good.

well i got the ecs because fry's got nice sale. e7200 and ecs board for 119 and to buy e7200 without the board costs 125 bucks there. so i should run it 5-5-5-18 and 2.0v?????

Well...........I must say I'll have to change my mind.
As for the RAM? Well, try the specs first, if not? Stick with the 5 cas and 2.0v.
And for the ECS? Unfortunately, it comes with an nFarce chispet, so don't try anything crazy with it, just the regular/standard stock settings and as recommended by the manual.
BTW, next time, try and get an ECS board, but! with an Intel chipset.
