ok george using the settings you gave me i booted it with 1 stick and
it booted xtremely fast as though it was going to windows then it would reboot, this occured about 3 times til i said the hell with this..?!

using 2 sticks it booted windows loading screen and then rebooted itself
upon loading again it stuck at a black screen with EB_ at the bottom of the screen?

what next George .......and again i want to thank everyone for their help !

You're getting close...
Go to www.memtest.org and download the bootable ISO for version 2.01 and burn it to CD or DVD. Booting to memtest will give you a quick way to test without booting all the way to Windows.

Next put both the sticks in the BLACK slots and increase the vCORE by 2 steps. Now try varying the vDIMM up and down from 1.74 1 step at a time and boot to memtest.

If memtest passes 2 minutes with the default test, run test 7 and see what happens. (Press C 1 3 7 to run the test). If it survives at least 2 passes without errors, boot the machine to Windows and run Prime95 and see how it goes. If it fails at any time, go back to the BIOS and try varying the vDIMM a little. It can only take 1 step to go from stable to unstable.

AND also George the term vCORE refers to the
CPU voltage Override .............CORRECT???????????

Yep. I couldn't remember exactly what it was named.

also i remember reading something about the Command Rate what is that
and what should it be set at ????

as of right now it is at auto...

im sorry for all the questions...


GHOST

Auto is OK for now. With 2 sticks it's probably doing 1T which is good.
No worries!

also while typing the post above the screen froze in bios on my other pc
while at those settings with 4Gb RAM

Keep at it! It takes a while to get this board tuned in.

Wow, when you said 1600 doesnt really "fit" I tried 1800 (333/1333) at 450 and it worked better than at 1600. It doesnt quit pass OCCT yet but I feel like I could get it with alittle more trying. Also, I was always wondering are you running 4 mem sticks or only 2, as I'm running all 4..

Also I'm currently havibg the best success with Bios 1478

333/1333 @ 450 FSB is a great place to be. If you can boot Windows at all then you're very close. You may have to loosen your timings or raise your vDIMM a tad to be stable.

I'm running 4 sticks. I had to raise my vMCH a notch or 2 to compensate for the extra sticks but it's been fine otherwise. If you don't have a fan on your MCH it might be a good idea.
