I wonder if with the 5520 chipset with it's greater latency if it can't handle the memory at near it's max..

Yea, well my knowledge of memory timings is only slighly ahead of my knowledge of brain surgery!:rofl:

:shakes:That makes two of us!:shrug:

I know how to open a skull and I know how to open a computer case. I know how to "poke around" a bit in either; the computer will probably survive... the brain? Eh.

Exactly :p: :rofl:

Not likely.. the board may need a few bios fixes to run high Dram frequency, my guess is that it's just the CPU's IMCs not being capable of running 2+Ghz stable. I've experienced a similar thing with the X5650 and X5660 on my Gigabyte Board.. can't do more than 1800 without the use of excessive VTT/Vdimm.

What you can do is run CAS7 or even CAS6 with those sticks.

+1 on lowering the CAS. That should drop your Super Pi times and maybe even show more points on the grid.

That is correct Dave :)

At the 890MHz you're currently running, you should be able to run CAS 7 easily...even CAS 6 shouldn't be hard :yepp:

Thanks guys, I'll try the memory settings tonight but first I played around with vantage and got it to work.
I don't know if this is good,bad or mediocre but this is what I got.
Machine was at 4352mhz,HT was off,vid is a EVGA GTX260-192 card at 600/1200

I sure hope this group buy thing comes about Dave because that CPU score at those clocks is just ddddrrrrrrrooooooolllllllllll worthy!!! :slobber::slobber::slobber:

After I posted that I went to Futuremark and the top score overall has a cpu score of 48,000+.. Yes, I did laugh.:rofl:
Now to beg borrow or steal some good video cards but I still won't get to the top as they will be on air, not going to freeze someone elses high end cards.

Faints at the CPU score
i did a 5.9Ghz Gulftown run and got like 52.4K :rofl:

Now you need a GTX480 on LN2 and you are set to go :up:

Dave, that CPU score is absolutely insane. What was wrong with Vantage... why didn't it feel like running?

P.S., card posts fine, haven't stressed it yet, though. :)

Let's just say that I had to offer Vantage a choice: Work or I call your boss!
After it screamed it worked!:rofl:
Thank GOD on the card.. That was bothering me.:up:
Also made a change:
