49ns???

In Everest?

Something must be wrong on yours or mine since I have the exact same settings, and it's 53ns on mine in Everest and around 9600MB/s read throughput.

I'll check it again when I get home but you got me thinking, 4ns is a big difference.

So 5-5-5-8 and the rest is on AUTO yes? 2 DIMM's or 4 DIMM's? The latter shouldn't make a difference though except for the required VDIMM.
