    Tried some real good Corsair PSC on Llano today...

    The Asus board still acts quite funny, yet I was able to do pass atleast AIDA64 memory benchmark at DDR-2600
    Unstable at that speed of course, but not bad for air cooling

    Iīm using the old 0802-based bios so the NB is running at full speed (not latched like in newer Asus bioses and on Biostar & Gigabyte boards). At ~ 1220MHz NCLK I need to force it to lower PState to drop the frequency.

    Even the tCWL is set too loose on Asus (massive impact in write bandwidth) the board scores around 12.2GB/s (read), 15.1GB/s (copy) and 41ns latency at DDR-2500 (with CPU at 3220MHz) thanks to the high NCLK. And that ainīt tweaked yet.

    Oh and this is Bank Interleaving enabled.. passes 3DMark06 GT-1 too, no problem

    For PSC based modules & Asus boards I recommend following settings (leave the rest to auto):

    MEMCLK Drive Strength: 2.0x (helps alot at DDR-2300+)
    Addr/Cmd Setup Time: 1 MEMCLK (absolutely mandatory with PSC)
    Addr/Cmd Fine Delay: 15/64 - 24/64 MEMCLKs (depending from the frequency, at DDR-2500 I use 21/64 MEMCLK)

    Without these two Addr/Cmd timings adjusted correctly, the board wonīt even post at anything above DDR-2200.
    Dunno if itīs because of the board, modules or APU or all of them.
