    Do you really think I can run cas5 if my ram is actually at 1500 and still have lower bandwidth than 1440 cas6.

    Are there any specific settings Imight want to work with (DRam voltage, etc) when I try to make that change I get boot failure fron windows and frequent BIOS lockup before POST completes, it was hard just to get back in and change it back before it locked up - really didn't want to have to redo all the tweaking (havn't been great about saving it as I go - changed that now of course)

    Thanks for all you guys help

    EDIT - on a separate note - I seem to be performing very well and Prime Stable for at least 30 minutes (yeah I know its not like 2 hours or 24 hours as some like to run - but I stopped it when thermals on one of the core's crept up to 74C, am I being a little over protective of my chip or do I need to look for ways to improve my thermals before continuing to attempt longer prime runs?
