First off...it took me forever to get the exact voltages to get the 4x1gb of RAM stable.
It was horribly unstable if voltages were slightly too high or slightly too low, but now that I figured it out it's rock solid. (And heart touching, at least according to the text on the box that the motherboard came in.)
Heart Touching!
FYI, 2x1gb of the same ram was far less finicky on the mobo.
Anyway, I'm currently running the ram at 1066 5-3-4-7. I'm still fiddling with the timings to figure out what gives me the best bandwidth. It crashes with a CAS any lower than 5 @ 1066. The tRAS is weird. I can set it as low as 1 and it runs stable, but I found that I get the best bandwidth at 7 (at least in the current configuration.)
Does anyone have experience with this RAM and know what timings I should try?
The BIOS has tons of other timings I can tweak, but if they're all like the tRAS where higher can be better, it will take me decades to test them all. If anyone has a clue, I'd love to be filled in.
The best bandwidth I've gotten yet was with 800 @ 3-3-3-5, but I figure I might be able to get a bit more out of it at 1066.
