Sigh.

Another problemesque P5Q Deluxe.

I'm running 4 x 1 GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer 8500 (double sided) and have two problems with this board. Bearing in mind the memory could run at 1200Mhz on my old MSI P35 NEO2 FIR 24/7.

First problem I can kind of live with, the memory won't run much above 800Mhz on this board. Disappointing, but OK, board will run all day @ 800.

Second problem is more irritating, and will probably go to RMA. The board will not cold boot with all four sticks in. Startup goes like this (I normally run the memory at 1.9V at 800Mhz btw).

Before power on (obviously), take out one stick. Power up, go into bios, set voltage to 2.2, power down. Replace stick, board goes into "overclock fail" message, hit F1, F2 etc. Go into bios, set voltage to 1.9V, save and restart, board boots normally onto windows.

How annoying is this. I've tried running the voltage at 2.2V, and it still won't boot from cold.

Anyone think Asus is going to sort this? I haven't been in contact with their support yet. Long time lurker here, thought I'd try a post, sound out what you guys think. RMA time? Don't really want to sell my memory, and have the same problem again.

Somewhat disappointed in this board, with it's 16 phase power, yeh that helps!
