I used 4 x 1Gb G.Skill 6400 NZ goes upto about 1000 quite happily. Not the quickest or the best but fairly cheap.

Can you post your settings using the "template" provided above? Many issues with 4 sticks on this chipset...got my third board that will not run 4 sticks with default settings.

Fugger assured me this was a non-issue...but I've yet to find a solution for running 4 sticks without errors...got same issues on Giga-DQ6 too.

My rams do 1142mhz @ 2.1v...prime blend stable, so it ain't the ram...even more towards it being the chipset/bios is the fact that two sticks work jsut fine(also giga board exhibiting same symptoms points in this direction as well...)

You, too, Hornet...I realize you're runinng jsut 2 sticks...but...

Hi, did I not reply that I am running 4 x 1gb sticks at 1066 with default settings, does this help in anyway?

Cedar Mill 533MHz FSB works on this board as long as you don't touch any of the memorysettings (including dividers)

So it's quite funny to test a $30 Celeron together with a $250+ mobo


7473MHz validated @ ~2v

Also a U20 1M:

Cooled w/LN2 ofcourse

Not really. maybe if you could post what bios says it set timings to...need to know which ram you are runnig as well.


Errors here happen at same address regardless of what ram is installed. Tming adjustments make only minor difference..still errors, but get less errors...errors are lessened with an increase of chipset volts..haven't tried over 1.45 tho...I see 450 @ 1.7v here tho..so more playing to be done. haven't tried two sticks in other slots to see if it's the slots either...

Kind of off topic but, will the P35 and X38 both work with Nehalem CPU do out Q2 2008?

Nehalem is a complete socket change no?

yup.

Are there any drawbacks to not watercooling the maximus formula but instead putting a fan over it ?

i found nothing that said it was a new package or stay the old one...i think they want to keep AMD guessing!

On to Nehalem!
This is where things really get interesting. Intel based Penryn on the Core 2 Duo architecture it designed for the 65nm process. Nehalem should take full advantage of the 45nm process Intel will introduce this year. Here's what Intel has planned:


Two threads per core
Up to eight cores on a chip
An integrated DDR3 memory controller
Integrated graphics on some chips
Dedicated cache memory on each core, plus a large shared cache.
Production will begin in 2008

Yes, Socket B and H but I highly doubt Intel would kill Penryn-sales right after the January mass debut unless AMD has something comparable which doesn't seem to be the case right now... I'd say either late Spring or Fall sounds more plausible for Nehalem.
