Sav what memories do you have? i cant get 1T it simply dont post

finally put the gskill hz12800 and here they are first results:

default timings and vdim - 7-7-7-18 1,9v @ DDR-1800mhz




best stable so far - 8-7-7-18 2,04v @ DDR-2000mhz




like i said 1T is no go, need to make more tests and adjust better some settings\options.

so far very happy with this evolution

Powered up the board first time this morning - but went only into BIOS, have to check later if I have to intall XP again or not.

Was a bit out of time, had to go to work and it took me a almost one hour to clean the CPU & the waterblock from the liquid metal stuff..... - this is really some hardcore thermal compound, but it makes best temps on CPU..

All went fine so far - first thing I noticed was that stock BIOS on my board was not 0201 - it was 0115 - anyone ever heard of that version?

So I flashed to 0401 - EZ flash works fine.

If there's no need to make a new XP install I'll do some first tests tonite.

After waiting a long time for the BlackOps and getting pretty impatient, I finally handed in the towel and went with this board. Got machine back from rebuild and upgrade today and are now running the P5E64 WS Evolution and a QX9770. Running along nicely at 4.6 for now but will wait for new ram sticks (OCZ PC3-16000 2x2048MB 2000MHz) before any benching... An easy board to OC, no fancy stuff (which I hate anyway, e.g. ROG series) and seems rock solid.
