Ya I noticed OCZ sticks sometimes don't like too high voltage. Set Vdimm to 1.84V in bios which is around 1,9V real.Originally Posted by my87csx481
My board overvolts RAM and Vcore (and probably others). If I set RAM @ 1.86 in BIOS, I get 1.91 real. If I set 1.9 (trying to go to 1700FSB from 1600) I get hardware failures in Prime blend almost immediately. Drop it back to 1.86....so far so good for an hour or two. So, maybe try less voltage
I don't think OCZ and S2E play well together anyway....I've been through 4 kits and still fighting....1600EB 2 x 2, blue or white slots.
Which RAM did you use for QX9650 400 x 10 on S2E?
Good luck.
400x10 with the QX9650 rig was with OCZ Reaper 1333 CL6 4GB kit, that one's working very good. Even got 1T to run stable with enough vNB.
Well, I finally got FSB 1700 to work ok, now trying mem unlinked again. Found a divider for ~1500 mem that seems to work, 1h prime blend and so far no sign of freezing. Giving ~1,55V vNB tho which is way too much for that speed, lol.
Bios 0902 seems to be really buggy, for example if I reduce the E8500's mult down to 9x it says 9x at post and in bios, but in reality it's still 9.5
Wondered why prime failed after 2 mins, then saw the CPU was at close to 4,3Ghz instead of 4,05
Good CPU that is tho, 2min prime at 4,3ghz and 1,35V is great
