Compatible (conroe) MB for OCZ PC2-6400 Platinum RAM

Well I ended up going a different direction and got the Gigabyte-965P-DS3. I also found that my platinum RAM worked fine first try. I booted, updated the BIOS, switched the voltage to 2.1, and I was fine. I did 10 passes with memtest86 and got 0 errors. I guess I didn't need that stick of value ram I bought at all.

I have also been waiting for the 590 for quite some time. Personally I am fed up with it. I have had my E6600 and my OCZ platinum 6400 RAM just sitting here and it is time to put them to work. I think I am going to get the P5NSLI like Snowice, if anything, to tied me over until the 590 comes out. Heck, I might even like it and decide to keep it for a while. All I can do is prey that I can get my RAM working.

I had been waiting for the 590 SLi too but I ended up getting an Intel Bad Axe - will the 590s ever be available?!? I also have the OCZ platinums.

What voltage are u guys using this ram with DS3? I set mine as Vdimm+0.3. Is that correct? I heard that it works better with 1.95 but u can't set +0.15.

Running the 2GB DDR2-800 OCZ Platinum RAM in my P5W-DH Deluxe. SPD says it needs 2.1V and 5-5-5-15 timings (Newegg lied to me, they said 4-5-4-15 timings on their website listing!). Still, I'm running it at 1.80V and 4-4-4-15 timings. Rock-solid stable. OCZ wins (again).

The timing 4-5-4-15 is printed on the sticker of the ram. The ocz website also said that along with 2.1V. U can run this at 1.8V and tighter timing?
