I never had such good Corsair, and I also never liked those 256MB sticks w/chips on both sides ;)

:D Sure, KINGSTON BH-5 is also a good choice - but now back to topic, let's wait for some more people reporting positive experiences with the DFI....... :toast:

Got my SLI-DR on 2/28. Got watercooling set up, board set up that day. 3/1 tried booting up...one of my RAM sticks wasn't working...luckily was just a tiny bit of something on one of the traces off the PCB..wiped it off, plugged it back in, booted straight into BIOS. All great (I have the A.01 revision).

Then, one of my two raptors gave problems..sometimes wouldn't detect, would lock up the system...finally, when trying to format it on the way into windows...it died and started clicking. RMA time. Other one worked like a champ. Installed windows in record time.

Installed drivers, used winflash to update to the 2/18 bios. Started my quest for OCing. Since all is virgin in the system started with RAM.

Hit a wall with errors at 250 FSB 8x multi. (240 no errors in memtest 5). Upped voltage...still errors. Used OPPainter's settings...no errors :) Started getting errors at 255 again. Now burning in at 3.6V with uwackme's burn-in to see how much this baby's got. Wish me luck :)

This board is bloody marvelous :)
