I have been able to get to 1900MHz at 8-7-7-20 2T using stock voltage with this memory, but the CPU is not stable at these frequencies. The memory is very unstable when running unlinked at any speed. . Also have you tried running the memory in slots 1 & 3 instead of 0 & 2. I think there is still a lot of work to do with this board before I get a system that is fully stable.
Thanks for responding. My memory are rated to 1600 MHz as well so I blame the motherboard so far - which is a nightnare to get to know. I have not tried the two other banks yet. I tried FSB 1800 linked once with very relaxed timings and froze during post followed by BIOS (0601) resettiging itself to default - guess that was a no go. Strange thing is it seems that I gain more stability (Memtest86+ v 2.01) when setting the HTT speed to 210 at stock CPU speed and 1333 MHz RAM (auto). This was not the case with some 2x1 GB Corsair 7-7-7-20 1600 MHz RAM I had shortly. I will test another set of OCZ.
Running linked, sync at 1333 FSB results in reboots during SuperPi 32M testing for me?
