I hope that ASUS finds the time to look what the problem is with the +1200MHz Memory. There is a good chance that when they fix that in a new BIOS release that you will be able to run your sticks at 1200MHz.

Right now with the BIOS that we have it is probably not possible to have them running stable at 1200MHz. You can try to adjust some settings or timings to get them to run at 1200MHz but I don't think that the problem is situated there. With the tests that I've been running at +1200MHz and the strange random stability problems in Prime95, I can only come to one conclusion and that is that some adjustments needs to be done by ASUS in the BIOS.

I hope that I'm right about that and that it can be fixed in a new BIOS release and that it isn't a problem with the motherboards hardware.

Some guy at the ASUS Rampage Formula forum has the same problem with his 4 X 1 Giga OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-9600 Memory. He can't get them to run at 1200MHz. He tried everything, adjusting voltage, adjusting memory timings and adjusting skews. Nothing helped to get his memory running at 1200MHz and he gave up trying and hopes that a new BIOS release can fix his problem.

All we can do now is wait and hope that ASUS won't let us down and fixes the problem.
