Big hello's to everyone!! this is my first post on Xtreme Systems & this forum & particulaly this thread are just great!

I am using a 2 gig kit of Super Talent W1600UX2G7 CAS 7-7-7-18 with my maximus & would like to run my Q6600 @ 3600 with memory running @ 1600 cl7 the very best i can achieve is CPU 3600/ MEM 1440 cl9 it's like nailing jelly to the ceiling i have spent hours altering & tweaking voltages in the bios (904)
but i simply cant reach my target could this memory be faulty or does the maximus not like this memory?

My bios settings
