Ok i have tried every setting under the sun..........the ram can clock up to 260 in memtest all tests for days....no errors....

but in windows nothing is stable - at any speed.......

today i finally narrowed it down.........my vx gold only runs in windows if i use the following:

2-3-6-2

all of the other settings do not make a difference - i can run everything else super tight - i can even run cas @ 1.5.........but as soon as trcd = 2 windows takes a dump....

were talking 0 errors using windows memtest with trcd=3 but if trcd=2 i get errors in windows memtest before i even click the ok button.....

now my question is - are there any other settings i am missing or is this a limitation of the ram?? or a limitation of the cpu memory controller?

the same cpu can do 300x9 1:1 with ocz tccd so im not really sure where to go from here?
