Thanks for your reply

1.45v?! man, isn't that too high? Before changing memory I was running it at 3200Mhz with 1.28v and it was stable with gaming and everything... I never thought this CPU would need that many voltage with OC... :/

my sticks are the blue G.Skills (stock 1000Mhz 5-5-5-15). You don't think they can run 1080 with the stock timings? maybe just upping the tRAS to 18 will do it?

I will try OCCT. Thanks!

EDIT: and I'm running with two 2Gb modules.

e6750 is 1.35 at default 2,66ghz. Ive run it for a long time on 1.6v at 3.8 no problemo. As long as your cores are below 75C you should be fine. (these are bios settings, 1.6v would usually be 1.55v in OS under load cause of the bad droop).

With memory i guess its just trial and error. All hardware is different,- its all a big lottery. Just set up some decent setup and see how it fares in OCCT. If you crash within 30 minutes you need to either slack off settings or increase voltage and try again.

Thanks. I will try 1.45 in BIOS. Since I'm with stock cooling I'll keep an eye on the core temps just in case...
