Official ASUS X38 Boards: P5E, P5E3 - Info/BIOS Thread

[aiya_au]

Now quit whining about this board people, the board is NOT the problem........

You should have done some research before you posted. Its not the board thats the problem, its the bios. people that run PC8500 ram (not PC6400 like you are running) with ANY bios can't run it stable at stock settings. we can't POST, get BSOD's inside windows etc etc.

whats the point of spending all this money getting high performance ram when it needs to be clocked down just to be stable. this problem has been around for ages and ASUS havn't done anything to fix it. The ram problem only exists for bios' after 0207 (i think), so people with older cpu's are fine, but if you have later cpu's that need a later bios to recognise it and you have PC8500 ram, then your out of luck until ASUS decides to fix it
