I ran some prime95 tests using the blend option (knowing my core is stable @ 3.66 from previous tests) and unfortunately failed with lower voltages @ 1095mhz 5/5/5/15 w/ forced spd secondary settings . I tried 2.00v, no good, then 2.1v, again no good, so here I am at 2.2v stable 4 hrs on blend test. I also tried (thinking that spd rated lower 2.00v @ 1066 rated) 2.2v @ 1144mhz. Didn't like that one bit. Failed within 4mins. Tell you the truth this new batch is behaving just like the old batch. Tonight I'm going to give it another go using memtest86+ as stability test and try starting @ 2.00v and work my way up. I'd like to see what my lowest vdimm can be @ 1095mhz 5/5/5/15 and all other secondary settings @ auto. If any of you have some advice please chime in. I'd really appreciate it.
that's strange, so are my sticks...kinda having a hard time getting higher clocks at low voltages...
