Hi,
I have a P55-UD3R (BIOS ver. F5) and a Geil Value Kit 2x2GB 1600MHz 8-8-8-28 1.6V.
My problem is that the CAS latency is not what I set up in the BIOS, and I'm unable to run it at its rated timings.
There is always a difference between the CL set in the BIOS and the real value according to CPUZ and Everest. Here is what I have tested so far (voltage 1.6V):
6-8-8-28 in BIOS -> 10-8-8-28 according to CPUZ and Everest
7-8-8-28 -> 11-8-8-28
8-8-8-28 -> 11-8-8-28
9-8-8-28 -> 12-8-8-28
With SPD or XMP settings, it won't POST - rapidly repeating short beeps then restart at default settings notifying me that the system failed to boot last time. Also, I thought all I'll have to do is just set 5-8-8-28 in BIOS to reach the desired 8-8-8-28 timings, but it won't post with these settings either.
I had the similar issue with BIOS F4 and F5b... any ideas?
Thanks!
