model of the motherboard: Gigabyte ep45 ud3p
model of the memory: F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
model of the CPU: intel q6600
I just bought this ram. I previously had ddr2 800 with the processor running at 3.2 GHz rock solid with a 2.00 ram multi. 400fsb and 8multi. I want to run the new ram at 533fsb with a 2.00 ram multi. I cannot get it doing so. I was able to get it to boot Windows 7 64 bit and start prime 95, but it would freeze after about 15-30 seconds. I currently have the ram running stable at 400fsb with an 8 multi, and a 2.66 ram multi solid. Prime 95 has been going for 1.5 hrs solid.
While I was trying to go for the 2.00, I had the ram voltage at 2.1, as stated on the box, with timings at 5-5-5-15. I bumped my MCH voltage up to 1.4 as suggested in another thread, and bumped my fsb voltage(cpu termination is what i've heard does that), in increments going up to 1.4, but was never able to get it stable. At best it would go to windows, and freeze during stress, at worst I would have to reset my cmos.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I guess it's not a huge deal since I am able to keep my old OC to 3.2 GHz, and run the ram at 1066, but I really want to run it asymmetric.
Another unrelated question. In CPUZ, the SPD tab timings table shows the timings I can run this ram at at different frequencies. At my current settings, running symmetric, would I use the 400MHz timings(5-5-5-515-24), since my fsb is at 400, or would I use the 533 timings (5-5-5-15-48)?
Thanks in advance, sorry this was so long. Just wanted to get all of my info out there.
