Your voltage is off because the board overvolts from what the bios says, you can always lower the cpu voltage later. You need to test your ram first make sure all sticks are good, i use memtest in windows, i dont like memtest 86. Im almost positive a just a setting in the bios, and you should be fine, i wouldnt waste my time on 1780 , i would go right for where you want to be, cause then your going to have to through all this again, cause the settings will be totally different, just link it at 2000 bro, and go from there, set the timings on your ram loose, and get the cpu stable first, then play with the ram timings.

Linked and synced 2000FSB with this cpu = 4.5ghz. would not post.

I tried unlinked 1800 cpu and 2000 fsb, lost a lot of mem bandwidth in memtestx86 and Vista crashed before I could even run a test.

I used the 9-9-9-24 SLI-EPP setting the bios gives you when you turn enable the SLI-mem setting but still NFG at 8GB. I should have tried it while I had only 2 sticks in. I'll do that later right now I'm back to try to get 8GB stable at 1800 L+S.

You dont have a 8x multi ? how is it 4.5 ??? 8x500 is 4.0, you must have a 8x multi. Please dont use the sli enable memory, that garbage.

CPU 9.0x multiplier

It's so frustrating that it'll run with 4GB but the same settings with 8GB fail instantly. Must be too much load on the bus

Have you tried more nb voltage ? where you at now with nb ? cause 1.4s aint going to crack it, it takes me 1.56 to hold my 2040 mghz, my gues is you need at least 1.54, that could be the problem with why 4 gigs goes but 8 dont, you have watercooling right ? im on air at 1.56, and fine, up the nb, cause i know if i drop to 1.54, wont run at all, i get dram error on lcd poster.

NB I have tried as high as 1.52...I'll go for 1.56 now. Yes NB is water cooled reading 47c right now.

NB GTL on auto?

Try auto on nb gtl, if is unstable, try adding +10 +20 +30, im using +20 for my setup, and dont be afraid to try up to 1.58 nb, just to see if that gets your 8 gigs of ram going. You have to understand, thats alot of ram, very straining on the nb, is going to take some volts to get it stable.

I have tried NB 1.52 all the way to 1.62, OCCT actually fails faster the higher I go, down to failing in 3 seconds now. I don't think super high NB is the answer.
