also let me restate the whole Micron D9 issue.

the micron D9 ram runs just FINE up to around 950mhz..... after that.. its down the toilet.. not even 5-5-5-15 is stable and being forced by gigabyte to use 5-5-5-15 on ram that is VERY capable of 4-4-4-12 is absolutely retarded.

Gigabyte has programed the bios in such a way as to totally fuxxor anyone with the D9 ram that is in the Teamgroup and Gskill 800 and 667 kits.

again this is the DS3 not the DQ4 or 6... i have seen people say that DQ6 doesnt have any issues so god knows wtf is wrong with the DS3.. but gigabyte can fix it they just wont...

so saying 445mhz is no problem doesnt show anything.

go into the bios and set the ram so it runs 1000mhz 4-4-4-15 and se if you can even reboot. i bet it wont boot if it does itsdefinately not stable.
now try 2.3 or 2.4v which again is taking the voltage of the ram out of spec and not good so be sure you have active cooling.
i bet it still wotn work.
now set 5-5-5-15 it might work it might not... now try running some tests see what happens... in windows please DOS driven memtest has shown itself to be buggy with this setup..

try it see what happens.

anything over 950mhz is flakey at best. and isnt stable at all.
