Could you elaborate on 'audio distortion'? I've noticed occasional crackling that I attribute to the subpar sound card that came with this board and its poor drivers. I also get crackling when starting up MemSet, but I think that's just with that one program.


I've refined my settings to 1.25v NB, 0.83v CPU GTL Ref, and 1.219v FSB Term for 1333 FSB and 666 RAM, and everything else on Auto. Been running Prime95 for a while with no errors. I had an error at one point after exiting the BIOS without saving while using these settings, so I imagine I might have to bump something up a little bit eventually. Not really sure what to expect, though. At the very least, there've been no random reboots yet, but it's still way too early to tell.

I might try tightening my RAM to 1T from 2T and see how it fairs. I've had really good luck with RAM settings so far, it seems; it's 4-4-4-12 2T at 1.9v and seems to have some pretty good values elsewhere, such as 43 tRFC. From what I've seen up to now, I'd happily recommend this RAM to anyone.
