** OFFICIAL ** Intel DX38BT & DX48BT2 BoneTrail Thread

[Mr Steveo]

Underclock it to 1333.

1600 will happen with only two sticks according to Intel.

Im laughing . . (on the inside) LOL
Gotta love Intel at times!

Heres some other things Ive gleaned if anyone wants to grade these with a True / False:

XMP only works with 2 RAM sticks in the black slots
RAM wont run at 1600 stable on BIOS 2000 and higher
Intel wont let the RAM run at a bus frequency higher than the FSB



-------------
I tried popping the RAM in, setting all 8GB at XMP profile. (Corsair says CL8 volts are 1.65 but XMP set RAM voltage to 1.91v - weird.)

I then changed the CPU from 9x 333 to 8x 400
- thus CPU went from 3.0GHz to 3.2GHz - seems mild enough. And this allowed the RAM to show and run at 1600.
Sweet yes?
No.
Probably wont surprise many, it booted, but couldn't pass memtest. Had to stop there.

Not much time these days for tweaking and o/c - (married with children now)
