I got a weird problem:

I just recieved the mobo today. I try to get 1200 with my Ballistix PC8500 but I can't. I've tried some BIOS: 401, 205 & 505, but I cannot make my ram run at 1200MHz (they do 1400MHz CL5-5-5-15 w/2.5v).

I've tried the blue & the white slots. White do 1200MHz w/2.1v, but the system doesn't seem stable. Blue can't reach 1200MHz, even with 2.55v.

Got some clues?

Thanks in advance

I am having exactly the same problem with my Ballistix 8500 too.
I'm using 0505 BIOS.
1200 on white slots = not stable. On blue slots = cannot boot up.
Tried with different vDimm, vNB (as high as 1.7v) and subtimings, still not stable.
My Teamgroup 6400 seem to do somewhat better with the same settings.
At least they have passed memtest 600% 1200 @2.2v.

It seems some kind of incompatibility

Let's hope ASUS fix it with a new BIOS release.

Speaking of which, does anyone have any kind of ETA on a new bios release?

Man this sux:X I got also some crucials to run on this board, I might then cancel my order and wait what a new bios can do before making any move:X

Any one got their Ballistix working properly? I mean same or better clocks then they had before on a P35?
