Hi Chew,

It's a little bit OFF topic but have you been able to run four modules at 1866 MHz on BD?

I haven't tried with this set since it's mismatched, honestly high speed 16g sets are not as fast as a set that can do 7-8-7 1600....if i went 9-11-9 i'm sure 1866 would be fine though,

I asked because according to BIOS and Kernel Developer’s Guide BD's IMC is not capable for 1866 MHz with 4 modules.

Ahh yes that would be due to AMD's memory qualification engineer, I met him in person.

To put it kindly he isn't very open minded. I had mentioned about running thuban stable at 2100 and he told me basically that thats not jedec and it's not possible .

It seems they do 1866 ok for me.

And older gen AMD isnt officially capable of DDR2000+
