This board is very picky went it comes to components you use with it. What RAM are you using with it? Also, to get a high FSB, you can only use 1or 2 sticks; I was able to get a solid 475Mhz [using max multiplier of an E8600] with 2 sticks of 1GB CellShock 1866Mhz RAM. I have removed that RAM now, and I'm using 2x 2GB Mushkin RedLine 2000Mhz [made for X58] which I can get stable to 450Mhz.

I bought a pair of Dominator GT 2000 c8 v2.1 2x2gb for this rig, is this part of the problem? Does it like older rams better? If so what rams should I look for? My CPU is an E8700 that has done 6.3ghz with the previous owner so it should be capable. At this stage I'm uncertain whether to keep this BlackOps and persist or get a P45 based board instead.

I have used 2 types of Dominator RAMs on it, but both have been 1600. The Mushkin I got on it right now is DDR3-2000 and I have it down clocked to just above 1500; I guess it has to do with it not being 1.9 - 2.1v RAM because I have had older 2x2GB kits in it and they clocked to 1900 fine. If you can get your hands on an older set of RAM it is better. But the FSB will overclock no matter what, it just that like in my case you will need to down clock your RAM.

I'm currently trying to stretch the life cycle on this PC by upgrading the RAM to 8GB [newer games these days have it running a little slow; MW3 was using like 1.4GB at one point]. The kit I got my eye on is the Mushkin DDR3-2133 4x2GB. First I will try using my entire 3x2GB kit of the Mushkin RAM I got in it to see if it boots fine, after it does I will buy the 4x2GB kit. I'll let you know how it goes.


PS: I was told by G.Skill support that the ECO line of RAM is a good option for this board. Dunno why, it uses even less voltage than the usual 1.6v kits.

I guess I hit a brick wall... the board will not boot with 3x2GB sticks in. Shame, I wanted to keep using this PC. Guess when funds are ready I'll jump on the X79 bandwagon and retire the BlackOps.

Well Im having endless issues with this rig, but some of it is definately related to my later style ram. Why is it I can get them to 1575-8-8-8 at any fsb up to 460 but at 470 I get C1 fail on POST? Yet with less emphasis on ram I have had it up to 560mhz fsb (but 8x multi) and 1344mhz ram speed (they are Kingston T1 Hyper-X 2000)

I tried the HyperX T1s on this board, but they were the 2133 kind; they wouldn't even boot with one stick.

But to add to your comment, yes it is related to the newer RAM. The old set of 2x2GB from G.Skill that I used to own would go as high as 1900Mhz [I believe it was a 2000Mhz set]. I really hit myself these days because it would have been great to keep running a set of RAM that hits that high, since I've found this 4GB wall.

Yeah, I put up a WTB here for rams and have been offered two good sets so I cant wait to try them. They are Cell Shock 14400 C7 and Corsair 14400 C7



I have been testing some more and at 9x525 it seems to be usable but unstable, it doesnt bsod but Pi fails (out of round or not exact result), is this just vcore? Or other voltage can cause this? I just cant get past this 4.7Ghz wall, lower multi and fsb increases but wall is the same.
