There was a FSB wall @ 375. This wall was pretty strong.

Yesterday i would sell the board...
But today?
i find the key

RAM unlinked 900 MHz

the solution for my system is little raise VTT and little raise NB. This extra voltages helps to boot with 375, 450, 500, 550.

I still not testet prime.

to break the 375 barrier is a little victory for me...

some benchmarks with 450 FSB (4050 MHz)

RAM-Timings not optimized
PCIe 110
all Boardvoltages default
VTT 1,28 Volt
NB 1,42 Volt

I put my system back together and it gets really interesting. First up, I flashed to 0511 no problems. The wierd problem about the POST mesaage complaining about the NB,SB and the CPU temperature on a cold boot went away and also the voltages and temperature are showing up properly.

Test 1:

CPU-E3110
RAM-OCZ 4GB Platinum EB
Mobo- SIIE

Left everything on auto and ran memtest no problems for 3 passes.

Test 2:
CPU-E3110
RAM-OCZ 4GB Platinum EB
Mobo- SIIE

CPU@1333 QDR(default), RAM @1600 "Unliked" everything else on auto.

Memtest hangs. I tried 3 times to run memtest and all 3 times it hung on me @ various times.


Test 3:
CPU-E3110
RAM-OCZ 4GB Platinum EB
Mobo- SIIE

CPU@1333 QDR(default), RAM @1700 "Unliked" everything else on auto.

Memtest passed for 3 passes.

So, it does look like there is a hole between DDR3 1500 to DDR3 1700. I don't think it's the FSB guys, I think it's the RAM speed. I am pretty much sure if you run the FSB @ say 375(1500 QDR) and the RAM unliked @ say 1700, you won't have any problems. Will have to test my theory though.

Now, will try to run on sync mode with both QDR and RAM @ 1700 and see how it goes.
