Wow so slow 32m runs with such a memory speed :D It's a MASTERPIECE

There is a reason I am asking for help. Nobody seems to offer any advice on here at all. This is DDR3-1800 rated ram that will not run any higher than 1700 mhz stable on my board.

Increase FSB and Mch voltages ;)

I have already tried that. No changes in stability at all. I mean come on man, im no newbie. There is something apparently wrong here with either the board, or the bios.

Ahh sorry :)
Try different ram slots on the board, then strap options in bios , then 1/2T , then Atuto turbo extreme options and so you have to figure out , what the problem is ;)

LOL. Youre gonna kill me but, every strap was tried. Only 400mhzD and 333mhzB are bootable at any speed. Both 1T and 2T were tried, 2T is less stable than 1T. I tried swapping sticks, individually, and running dual configs in both ram slots. I have always kept standard as my performance mode choice in the bios, never tried turbo or extreme.

Also, to top it all off. I have tried two completely different sets of sticks:
Patriot 1866
Corsair Dominator 1800

They both run stable to 1700mhz but anything higher is completely unstable. :(

you ever have tried to find max fsb on your board? (aka multi of cpu to 6 and crank it up alle the way)

when your again limited around 425, your board cant go any faster. If that happens... well you had bad luck with the board, get another one.

This is the last time I'm gonna say it. I am not a newbie.
In the beginning of my thread you will see that this board does up to 535 FSB with no voltage adjustments at all. I ran it for 2 days at 7 X 520.:shrug:

Hi, I am considering building my own rig and was looking at p35 vs x38. I am a relative newbie and want to build a high spec future proof system hence my interest in the x38.

Question I have is if it is stable and simple enough to manage as newbie?
