@CryptiK

I just couldn't wait...LOL!! I tried running them at DDR3-1600 6-7-6-20 1T on 1.535v no go....QPI/VTT at 1.30v, vDimm at 1.56v....

By the way I tried running it before I go to bed at a lower multiplier and higher BCLK...18x212 DDR3-1700.... Here's what I got....will do more testing maybe tomorrow....

Hey mate, yeah I'm still alive and kicking. Perhaps it's board/IMC limited? Eva has the same kit and his did it at 1.66v on an Asus workstation board but he didn't try lower.

Maybe try 1 stick at a time could be one of them holding it back. BBSE *should* do 1600 6-7-6-X at <1.65v from everything I've seen but of course nothing is guaranteed. Perhaps try tweaking the RTL's or secondary timings? Good luck with them.

Hi CryptiK, yeah, probably I have to tweak the RTL's and or the secondary timings, just didn't have time too lately, been so busy :sigh:

Thanks!

Which bios did you use? afaik trident sticks issues was fixed at bios F8f and later.

Here the changelogs for all the bios(btw you need a translator)

Hi Sparda, I'm on the F7. All my tests that I posted with screens were on the F7.

Is the F8F or later better that the F7? And if ever there are problems what should I look for? Or should I just go for the F9e?

Sorry for the late reply....been working my ass lately....

Thanks!

I personally prefer F9e, and I have tried a lot of different BIOS'es for the UD5.

How are you finding those G.Skill Tridents?

I'm looking to purchase some new RAM, as I want something that has lower latencies than my CAS8 dominators, and I was actually thinking about getting those Tridents.
