ceevee, i think tight timings low speed are easier to get cause the higher the clockspeeds the more crosstalk you get... when it comes to high frequencies dll adjustments are needed, and i guess you didnt play with that yet?

and about the bios now reading the spd properly, what did you do?
update the bios or the sticks spd?

about the board having problems with 8gb of ddr3... can you run the memory at 1600 on another board? i dont think there is any intel chipset board that can run 8gb ddr3 1600 without any tweaking... even for 790 boards that wont be easy afaik...
you cant just run twice the amount of memory and expect it to work at the same speed with the same voltages and timings as running only half of it...

for 8gb of memory the chipset has to drive and control 64 memory chips!
thats a whole lot of a difference compared to 32 memory chips...
there is a limitation of what the chipset can and cant do

i will try my best to help you tweaking the memory to get up there, but i dont think you will see a perf gain over 1333+ cas6 running 1600 cas8 or cas9... and 1600 cas7 with 8gb of ram... im not sure if thats even possible... it might work on some boards with some kits of mem... but not for every combination...

1:3.5 or 1:3.6 dividers... thats the first time i hear about such a divider and i dont think it exists... we cant just add dividers... they have to be implemented in hardware by intel. there might be such a divider and other ones as well, but intel doesnt even mention them, so even if they exist, they probably dont work well or dont work at all.

yes, itll show vtt .1 too high for 45nm cpus, just like the bios, ill check if we can change this or at least add a note that its .1v less for 45nm cpus

what do you mean with the right panel shows you 1.28v?

if you set 1.30v in bios and the latest version of the panel shows 1.28v then that sounds like the right vcore. but yeah, if you want, go and check it with a dmm

Chris_redfield, from my experience id say 2v is 100% safe, but check with tony, i actually think ocz actually allows slightly higher max vdimm that what they are rated for. it should mention it on your kit, or check the specs of your kit on the ocz website.
