After taking out 2 DIMMs, switching to the black slots, much fiddling with BCLK lower than 125 but on the same strap, finding one that boots, and using initial BCLK settings, I finally managed to get the thing to POST and boot Windows with the TridentX at 3000C12, but it fails 32M instantly. And the RTL settings look wonky to me.
Well, since I got this far, I figured I'd try my luck sticking the other two DIMMs back in. To my surprise, it booted into Windows. I had enabled Additional Training so I'm not sure if that played into this or not. First attempt at 32M failed, so I upped VDIMM from 1.75v to 1.85v and re-ran...and it passed. This seriously took me the whole evening. I had best disable Swizzling Bit 2, key in these RTLs manually and save a profile because I don't want to go through all that again.
