Hi, after requesting help from gskills tech support, i have done some test and i would need some external advices from you guys please.
This is the settings i have used, recommended by gskills:

Hi
You might want to set try this setting
*Dram Frequency set : 200mhz (1:1)
CPC: enable
TCL = 3
TRCD = 4
TRAS = 8
TRP = 4
TRC =7
TRFC = 14
TRRD = 3
TWR = 2
TWTR = 2
TRWT = 3
TREF = 3120
TWCL = 1
Bank = enable
DQS skew control: auto
DQS skew value: 0
DRAM Drive Strenght= 7
Dram Data Drive = Level 3,
Max async latency= 8.0nano seconds
Dram respnce tim = Normal
Read Preamble Time = 5.0 nano seconds
Idle Cycle = 256 dynamic
counter = Enable
R/W queue = 16x
Bypass max = 07x
32 byte granularity = disable 4 burst
Thank you

voltage 2.6v (ive also tried 2.7 and 2.8. didnt help)
Not memtest stable wit these settings at DDR400. Although it is rock solid 24hr prime stable at 200mhz x 11 but still cannot pass memtest.when the 2 sticks are in the yellow slots. if i move the 2 sticks to the orange slots, as recommended by DFI, i have booting issues like one time out of 2 i cannot boot, it hangs in the post screen, just before detecting IDE or sometimes just after backuping cmos. i need to shut down, and reboot, and then it boots.
with the ram in the yellow slot, i cannot boot at DDR500, only at DDR400. if im in the orange slot, i can boot at 250 x 10, and im 10hrs prime stable.
BUT *** in both cases (orange or yellow) i cannot pass memtest, reporting 1000+ errors)
So now, i have few steps left: reviewing the ram timings if somethings is wrong and trying to verify if it is not the board the cause of the problem.
the reason why i want to solve that problem is that even if im stable in windows, i feel that with a stable ram i could push it beyond 250mhz, something around 260 or 270mhz, so that it would help my ocing....
what you guys thinks? thank you
