Your kit is TridentZ and only rated at 3600 14-14-14, or was it 3800?
Last night I turned off HPET in Windows as well, dropped CPU back to 3.6GHz, left HPET off in BIOS, disabled C'n'Q, but now the Timers have changed, albeit only slightly.
Before... ACPI: 3.58MHz, Perf: 3.58MHz, Sys: 1KHz
After..... ACPI: 3.58MHz, Perf: 3.516MHz, Sys 1KHz
*blink* Interesting......
I just changed CPU clock to 37x with K17TK and all hell broke loose >_>
Screen is flickering, Windows is in some weird Login-Loop, nothing I've ever experienced before, overclocking or otherwise.
Restart button resulted in an F9 code, though I suspect that's due to trying to run CL15, which it doesn't seem fond of doing heh Only worked that once on Beta1.72 (which I might go back to since that was the only time 3466 ever POSTed)
Think I'll just try 1.74 quick despite having no idea what changed with it.
EDIT: So I was discussing Timings with someone on the [H] forum who had tried configuration out on their CH6 with a similar kit, and they worked OK for just over 90mins in Memtest before failing (while listening to music and watching YouTube)... but then when he adjusted some things (loosened, I imagine), it failed even faster and that got me thinking; thus, I have a question that I suspect you'd have the answer to... if you would be so kind as to impart some of said knowledge upon me/us ^_^
It's sort of a single question, with two sides...
Q1: Are there certain timings (main, sub, turnaround, drive str, etc etc) which one should always adjust at the same time to ensure a successful POST? If so, which?
Arbitrary Example: If you adjust tWTR_S should you always adjusted tWTR_L as well?
Q2: Are there certain timings that should always be keep within a certain range value another timing? If so, which?
Arbitrary Example1: If you adjust tWTR_S should you tRRD_S always been 1-2 Ticks looser?
Arbitrary Example2: Aside from the commonly known like tRC+tRP=tRAS (+2 to 6) and tRP+tRAS=tRC, are there any other "basic equations" one should always shoot for/start with?
