ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe discussion

[bachus_anonym]

Please try the Micron 2x2GB 1600 C7 kit, because the Micron kits I have do not go above 1460 in a stable manner, does matter which manufacturer and I have several from C to Z. I will say this, the retail board is much better behaved than the press sample boards, glad we did not review it yet.

I'm working on it, Gary. I'm running at exactly the same settings with 4GB kit of 1600C7DHXIN v3.1 which is based on Micron Rev.B. So far so good at DDR3-1660; I will post a screenshot once I get back...

Does your retail board behave the same? What Rev. is it - 1.01G or 1.02G? Also, is it Micron Rev.B (D9GTR / D9GTS, etc.) or Micron Rev.D (D9JNL/D9JNM, etc.) that you're testing?

EDIT: That should do it for now... As promised, Micron Rev.B 1600C7DHXIN 4GB kit. I did not change any settings in BIOS compared to previous DDR3-1660 test with Samsung...
