I'm going to try to boot again when I get home from work, but I'm afraid I've given up on ASUS. My P5K doesn't really like this RAM much either, and won't always POST. It will eventually though. I'm going to get the Gigabyte model.
Anyone else running Ballistix? I have the DDR2-800 CAS4 sticks.
For that case when i have clear CMOS i have some cheap memory that can boot on 1.8Vdimm that is defaut after Clear CMOS since my Flex does not do so or not like that and are stuck at "DET DIMM". So i boot on the cheep crap and upped vdimm to 2.0V and shut of and put the Flex in and boot into BIOS, upped the Vdimm to the correct value and change the rest to correct value and then restart. But since you tried that i donīt know why it does not work for you.
And since you use 4 DIMMS the Gigabyte X38 is NOT better, it is way worse and a major flaw on that boards design that make 4 dimmuser very upset.
Thats why i trade the X38-DQ6 for Maximus SE and the problem with OC and 4dimms is gone.
