Hi guys, not sure if this is common knowledge for all X48 or just blackops or what but apparently memory is best used in slots 2 and 4.
I've been in touch with Rajinder Gill from Anandtech, who wrote their blackops review, and he has been sharing some of his experience and wisdom with me, and he suggested doing this. Just to demonstrate how big a difference it made - on 450fsb/8.5x = 3.8ghz/1800mhz 9-9-9-25 1T, settings which failed prime on all 4 cores in under a minute, simply switching slots has given me a run of so far 2hrs 20 mins of stability
I had actually nailed down my 9.5x based overclock (416fsb, 3.95ghz, 1664mhz memory 8-7-7-23 1T), and was going to post the settings, however since i achieved that on slots 1 and 3 i will be returning to it once i've got my second OC profile done to see if the slot change will make a difference there also.
