You can give it a try. Maybe you have more luck with 2 X 1 Giga and a C2D.

The testing has begun!!!

Lets see the results. Right now im using exactly the settings A-Grey gave me with only difference the cpuv.

By the way, A-Grey can you give thelink from the testing program you use to tst memory. I use memtest right now. Do you think its ok?

I just had the first error @ 10% of the first pass

Im experiencing problem with uploading some screenshoots

Is there someone else who has similar prob?

Memtest is ok, on last page A-Grey quoted mike's post with MemScope, it's good too.

I'm usually first doing 1-3 passes of test #5 in Memtest then I'm moving to MemScope - if does one pass without errors I'm moving to the windows.

About screens - try to use imageshack.us

**greg.m** · 05-05-2009, 10:23 AM

kuebk, i took your advice and here comes some screens

The first one is with A-Grey settings
The second is with cpuskew100, nbskewnormal, nbv1.45, fsbv1.34, ramv2.00, all these bios settings.

More coming.....

Edit: I forgot to say i also change sb volt.es, both @auto

**kuebk** · 05-05-2009, 10:28 AM

5 loops is to low, few times I've started to getting errors after 40-50 loop.

BTW: You are on 9xx bios, right?

Yes. But its just to see if ill proceed to memtest or not. Otherwise idont like a lot ibt because of the high temps it causes which i think its not good at all.

**greg.m** · 05-05-2009, 10:44 AM

Memtest 1error @ 11.1% of first pass. Test stopped. Im going to tweak biosset a little again...

Try Linx for 25 passes and use as much free memory as you can. I take 3.450Mb memory.

Where can i find linx? Is there any link?

bth right now im testing with nbv1.51, ramv2.04 .......

Use MemTest86+ V2.11. I tried MemScope but for some reason that I don't know I can't run the first test.

You can find it on this page.

Just like I like I said. You're overvolting to force it to be stable and it's never going to be 100% stable.
Linx for 25 passes is a piece of cake compared to 6 hours Prime95+UT2004. When it isn't 100% stable you can forget the 6 hour run.
It doesn't take that much voltage to run it stable at FSB 465MHz.

Yes MCH doesn't need meni volts to run 465fsb 1:1 but to run 465 fsb with 3:4 it cries for volts.

F@kc

error @ 18%

ill go nbv1.61, ramv2.1 and see what happens

I would rather go higher with vDDR than vMCH, what is your ram rated speed?

**Ghostleader** · 05-05-2009, 11:30 AM

Anyway I'm currently running my ram at exacly same timings as you, at the moment I'm priming it in blend mode, so far no errors.

They are rated PC9600, Kingston HyperX, I have two sets of 2x1, can also run 4x1 @ 1200MHz CAS5 with my E8600, no problems, have not tried with my Q9650 though.

Glad that I could help.

With FSB 450 I run strap 400 (3:4) to get 1200MHz and with FSB 500 I run strap 333 (5:6) to get 1200MHz.

gskillpi pc9600 @2.1

starting test with nbv1.57, ramv2.1....

**greg.m** · 05-05-2009, 11:32 AM

Maybe some help from zucker2k, i think he has the same fantastic gskills....

It doesn't believe me. Look at my sig for my 8 X 450MHz setup with DDR 1199MHz and tRD 6. A six hour run of Prime95+UT2004 and 25 passes of Linx with the voltage that you can see in the screenshots.

No, he hasn't got the same ones.

**greg.m** · 05-05-2009, 11:52 AM

ANYONE with G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI and RAMPAGE FORMULA who can run stable over 1200mhz ??

Now that we know that we can't run it stable above DDR 1200MHz, I ask all of you guys to post your frustrations in this thread on the ASUS Rampage Formula forum before ASUS decides that BIOS 0902 is good enough to be released as a final BIOS.

I count on you guys or ASUS is going to say that it's that stupid flemish guy alone that has problems every time and doesn't know how to configure his BIOS.

**greg.m** · 05-05-2009, 12:00 PM

it goes better but with higher volts... lets see if it can do a full pass....

**greg.m** · 05-05-2009, 12:16 PM

keeps going.....

**greg.m** · 05-05-2009, 12:43 PM

So far so good.......
