just got a pair of 8500s thru the mail and somehow my pair sucks big time.

totally refused to post anything at most settings at 1066 speeds. the only time it boot was when i ran default settings on my P5K premium.

i was running at 5-5-5-15-4-42- shld be 10-13-5 or something.

despite shutting down the power and restarting, somehow the motherboard refused to even revert back to default settings and report a oc failure unlike with my previous rams.

i pumped 2.45v and most voltages in the bios are at the max (CPU is at 1.5375)

total disappointment.
