X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

[Takle]

I don't think the 8500 Crucial sticks are in the compatibility list for this board..........

I know this, the manual states that

"This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128mb chips." - page 2-17 in the english language manual pdf on the Asus website.

and the single side crucial modules is in fact 8x128mb but I talked to OCZ because the ram I’m getting next week is 2x2gb OCZ Reaper pc8500 and they are properly 16x128mb modules.

They said it isn't a problem as long the ram is tweaked correctly with the DRAM CLOCK SKEW.

See link for OCZ guide

I've tried tweaking the skew as in this guide but then memtest just lock up without finding errors but I was able to do the 4-5 hours run with SKEW A delay 300ps and SKEW B advance 150PS.

See my OCZ thread here

But it's near impossible to get memory modules with the 16x64mb configuration these days

People running 2x2gb or 4x2gb modules in this motherboard have you had any stability problems or was it a cake walk to configure?

Edit
Im looking forward to hear your findings Rickpatbrown
