But it`s also a bit tricky with the formula and ram. My 2x2GB aren`t running 950Mhz for example, or I can`t find the right settings, but it`s runnings 1030mhz or 1080mhz with this special settings (link in post before) without problems.
And he has 8GB, that`s even more tricky.
He should follow your tip and if the ram is running without OC, he knows, the ram is ok. But if it doesn`t run, it could be the settings anyway. He can not be sure, that the ram is defect if it`s not running without OC or under specs is what I mean. (hard work for me to get me understandable in english )

eSp!s0,
Thanks for the reply! I understand what you are saying. I have run Memtest 2.01+ for a few days, and it reports no errors, so I know the ram is ok. Plus, just found some looser settings that passed prime95 blend for about 7 hours before I stopped it.
So its matter of finding the right settings, which can be tricky!
