Yes. They are PC6400 that can just run at PC8500 easily =)

Mine say the same thing

That's just the way it is. There's nothing to resolve. It's a-okay!

Do you need 1.7NB voltage for 400FSB ? did you try to lower it or is the settings on auto in the bios ?

There are no stupid questions right?

What should my limit be when monitoring my temps under load on my qx9650. I've seen various numbers thrown about, but I wasn't sure if they were referring to the generic CPU temp read-out or the read-outs for the individual cores.

Thanks!

Try to keep the cores under 65°C real temp reading mate under load, coretemp apparently is 8-10°C off...

Guys, I need some advice.

I'm having a tough time finding some memory that will go above 1000 MHz stable on this board.

Did you try 1004 bios and set TRFC to a value at or above 55 ? My Gskills PC8000PQ kit were good up to 1081mhz with 5-5-5-15 2T at 2.1 volts 4gig kits or 4 dimms also need more NB voltage

I had NB volts up as high as 1.65 and TRFC at 60 and still got errors in Memtest86+ with the G.Skills.

In their product sheet they say they will function with this board but only at 333 FSB...

I've tried loosening all the memory timings and going for more MHz and then walking them back down, but it gives errors no matter what. I actually RMA'd a set to NCIX and they couldn't find anything wrong with them even though they gave me errors at stock and below on my board.

Unless I have an issue with my board...but my Mushkins run at 5-5-5-12 1003MHz on the 266 strap with 400 fsb no problem.


I've tried 1004 and now Rampage bios 0219 and still getting the same issue.

actually the volts are on auto. i was wondering though about the volt. it does seem rather high doesnt it?

You shouldnt be running volts on auto, 1.7 for NB is way to high imo

Grnfinger, save and post the stock bios for the rampage in the maximus to rampage thread. bios 0215 is proving to be pretty elusive...
