Just got my rma back. Got error 52 with both sticks to start. Tried them 1 at a time and each one worked. Put both back in at the same time and it booted. Running at 1080@1.87 volts.
I have a pair of these on my LANPARTY LT X48-T2R and I have a few problems.
System:
LANPARTY LT X48-T2R
F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
Corsair 750W PSU
Xeon E3110
I've been trying to OC this chip to 4ghz stable and can't seem to get it to pass Orthos blend and most of the time it locks up during initial post or halfway through the loading of Vista.
Just for the hell of it i put my brothers 2x1 sticks of Corsair in the board and it's completely stable at all the same settings and passes with flying colors.
I have tried setting my RAM to 5-5-5-15 52, upped NB volts from 1.91 (default i think) to 1.40v, and have taken the RAM to 2.2v for one run just to see if that would work.
I have setup 9x multi, 445fsb, 5-5-5-15 52, RAM is showing at 1069 speed in the bios and failing miserably. It's also very odd that i can't boot at different strap speeds at all other than the AUTO that puts it at 1069. I'm not sure why that's happening.
Any help would be appreciated and if there is any info that i left out or should try please let me know.
E8400 @ 4ghz 24/7
DFI LP LT X48-T2R
G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
BFG 9800GX2
2 x 150GB Raptor X in RAID 0
Just wondering if you have tested these on the Asus P5E yet?
I'm getting a kit of these for my dfi p965-s, will test soon.

G.S Technician,
Is there by any chance that I can get my hands on your new heatspreaders for my recent purchase of 8gigs worth of G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBP.
I see that the new heatspreaders already have the same exact kit listed as "F2-8500CL5D-4GBPI" and I'm going to assume that the "I" means that they have the new heatspreaders.
Can I buy the heatsinks seperately by any chance?
If not, I'll live

Thank you for the quick reply, I just like the looks.

Hi there. I'm having a heck of a hard time getting 8 GB (4 sticks) of this RAM stable on my ASUS Maximus Formula (bios 1004).
I can boot into Windows, etc, but my tests in prime95 routinely fail with a rounding error at about an hour.
Can anyone here post their RAM timings into the template below? I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
DRAM Frequency: DDR2-
DRAM Command Rate :
DRAM Timing Control: Manual
CAS# Latency :
RAS# to CAS# Delay :
RAS# Precharge :
RAS# ActivateTime :
RAS# to RAS# Delay :
Row Refresh Cycle Time :
Write Recovery Time :
Read to Precharge Time :
Read to Write Delay (S/D) :
Write to Read Delay (S) :
Write to Read Delay (D) :
Read to Read Delay (S) :
Read to Read Delay (D) :
Write to Write Delay (S) :
Write to Write Delay (D) :
I`ve got the timings to "Auto", but I only have 2x2GB on my Formula.
But you can try to set Row Refresh Cycle Time higher, to 60 for example. Also important with much Ram is to set a high NorthBridge Voltage.
Transaction Booster to disabled, try Relax Level 0-3 and Ai Clock to Moderate or Light (my 2x2GB are always running Moderate).
If you want to have a look, here are 2 settings from me, but keep in mind, that I only have 4GB and dualcore:

But it`s also a bit tricky with the formula and ram. My 2x2GB aren`t running 950Mhz for example, or I can`t find the right settings, but it`s runnings 1030mhz or 1080mhz with this special settings (link in post before) without problems.
And he has 8GB, that`s even more tricky.
He should follow your tip and if the ram is running without OC, he knows, the ram is ok. But if it doesn`t run, it could be the settings anyway. He can not be sure, that the ram is defect if it`s not running without OC or under specs is what I mean. (hard work for me to get me understandable in english )
Quick question: Is it safe for me to run these G.Skills at about 2.1280V (as reported in BIOS)?
eSp!s0,
Thanks for the reply! I understand what you are saying. I have run Memtest 2.01+ for a few days, and it reports no errors, so I know the ram is ok. Plus, just found some looser settings that passed prime95 blend for about 7 hours before I stopped it.
So its matter of finding the right settings, which can be tricky!
I've got a DFI LANParty LT P35-T2R with the 3/17 BIOS, a Q9450 (C1 stepping) and 8GB (4x 2GB) of G.Skill RAM rated at DDR2 1066.
I am on very good water, the CPU has a D-Tek FuZion using the quad nozzle in the proper orientation, and the intake seal. With a PA120.3 rad and MCP655 pump. The NB has a passive HR-05 IFX installed on it.
I was all geared up for some impressive overclocking, with reports of this board hitting 600FSB and all. Now I know that I will not hit 600MHz using a quad and 8gb of RAM, but I was hoping for at least stability in the mid to high 400s. I would be happy with 475MHz FSB.
Well apparently, that was not in store for me. Instead, I can't get 400MHz FSB stable -- OCCT fails in ~2 seconds.
I am pretty sure the RAM is holding me back, because I tried setting all voltages/speeds to stock, and then I set the RAM divider to 333/1066 so it would actually run at it's rated speed. The result? No POST and a CMOS reset required.
I'm thinking that I really need to adjust all the parameters under the DRAM configuration page in the BIOS. Most of them are set to AUTO, other than the 4 main ones which are set to 5-5-5-15, the rated timings on the RAM.
Can anybody help me with this? What settings under the DRAM configuration should I change, and what should I change them to? I am willing to settle for loose RAM timings. All I require is that I keep all 8gb. Are there any custom BIOSs I could use? Can anybody help me?
