The Maximus Formula Thread - Help/OCing/Guide/Rampage conversion

Just check few post above ya I got exactly same prob bro, except they used to work on this board lol, but all of a sudden they didnt work after I changed the cpu(E8500), and did a bios flash. @ 1200mhz or 1130 with 5-5-4-9, without upping some big notches of volts and 1200 up to 2.2v didnt work, and I stack them in @ the p5k deluxe, they suddently did work lol 1200mhz 2.05v 5-5-5-12 with performance lvl5. Same goes for my G.skill 8000CL5 4GBPQ, cant even get it stable @ 1040 5-5-5-15 up to 2.1v which is ridiculous.

My theory on this is that... 45nm cpus are doing faster cycles and therefore need tighter timings. use to run 4:5 and 5:6; but with 45nm, I've found 1:1 with tight timings the only way my memory is stable enough to run dual 32M spi's.

Hey m8, well like I mentioned the E8500 is sold and popped back in the Q6600, same story

e...woke up to the infamous DET RAM error and realized that board will not boot with any ram in the blue slots. Took a look inside and saw this!

what are you talking about not having RAM in the blue slots ?
what is the problem with RAM in blue slots... is there a known issue ?
