I have these sticks, well the 2x2GB, for 1600FSB voltage (OCZ site) has to be1.9V and 1.95 for 1600+ i have them currently running on my GA-X48T-DQ6 on 7-7-7-24 timings 1600FSB stable.

Hi all
I had these sticks today, and i must of had a bad stick, one stick is fine and will pass mem test and vista mem test but the other stick fails straight away and i get bsod of death on vista start up, been testing all morning and afternoon no luck, time to give up and set up a RMA...
i've just had a kit of these delivered...
now i'm not sure if i should send them back straight away (to save any problems returning at a later date) as i don't have a board to test them in just yet :shrug: :(
Asus boards that have Skew control... play with advancing the skew up to 300ps as you clock the ram up. It may prove to stablize the board. Start low and increas skew on both channels.
Boards that say they support 1600 MHz ram do have a tough time doing so with 2x2GB and a Quad Core CPU.
You can send them too me.... I'll test them for a few months.....lolQuote:

What DDR3 4GB kit would you recommend for the 790i
thanks
How far will these sticks steretch on X38 boards?
Finally my OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC3 12800 “OCZ3P16004GK” Kits Stable @ 1600 7-7-7-24 ---- Had to RMA a few times....
Bios Settings: 24hrs Prime - 100% Stable w/ Q6600 & Asus PE53 Deluxe WiFi

Please – If you have the same setup and your results are better – Post your results – Thanks in advance….

the most important thing i dont like about the rog boards ive used so far tho, is the high price, and the instability/flakiness
the propper asus boards seem very robust and stable compared to the rog boards.
Can anyone recommend a 2x2gb ddr3 kit that works well in the P5E3 Premium? Sorry for the hijack, but I too am having difficulties getting the OCZ Platinum kit to run at rated timings in my board. Mine is the EB kit with 7-6-6-24 @ 1600mhz timings. I am nearly ready to give up on this memory, but will lose bigtime if I sell the kit and move to another brand of memory.
An Update: Re-flashed Bios with v1203 - Was able to reduce the CPU, DRAM & NB voltage... Stable...

I have it stable at 7-6-6-24 2T 1600FSB on a X48T-DQ6 1.85V 31 hours orthos on a E8500 on 1.300V
4 or 8GB is going to need skew delay...you can force the modules and NB to work with juice but both will die over time. Also 4GB and 8GB using 1600EB is having a spec change due to board issues, 7-6-6- is moving to 7-7-6 as its far easier on the board and chipset.
8GB also adds a ton of load to the NB, voltages over 1.4 create to much heat, 1.35 to 1.375 V is all I have needed for 8GB at 7-7-6-24 250ps delay on A and B DDr3 1600 with 9650 at 3.6 and now testing 4GHZ. PF7 rest of timings AUTO, NB GTL 61%
The more load you add the more Jitter the board sees, the harder it is to clock the ram. X48, X38, P35, P45 all need skew with 4 and 8GB, NB GTL tuning also with FSB below 1600, over 1600 add CPU GTL also if you have a quad.
The days of easy overclocking are gone if you have either 8GB, a quad or both.
This with a P5E3 Premium, 8GB of 1333 Reaper 6-6-6-24 dimms @ 7-7-6-24 DDR3 1600

In bios you may have 2 options for skew, just A and B try setting 200 to 250ps delay for both
I can run Prime95 all day long but OCCT is a different story. Then after OCCT is stable I try and run COD4 cranked or Stalker.. etc and that is the real test. I find (on the Maximus Extreme #1 in my sig) that gaming is by far the hardest stress test on my rig. Prime95 is butter.
Lol... My OCZ kits unstable again.... I was able to keep it stable for a few days... I'm not having any issues with my other brands... I'll give the OCZ kit one more day - then its off to the trash bin...
EDIT:::::
Its possible that the Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi MB hates (Compatibility Issues) 4GBs of OCZ RAM…. 2GB kits work fine…… Regardless I’m done with OCZ….
your ram is Micron JNL based, setup is everything and making sure the CPU is 100% also helps. make sure the CPU is 100% stable by downclocking the multi and ram and use the PC for a few days,then bring the ram speed back and retest.
Finally try the CPU on the multi you need for the OC
Has anyone here tried running 8GB of this RAM on a P5E3?
If so what is the most performance you can get out of the RAM?
I'm still kicking around @ 1333Mhz.
Thanks
