Getting 4x512 RAM to run stable at ddr400....help

[FalcX]

CPU in sig:
My ram wouldnt pass memtest at stock cpu settings and many different attempts at ram settings.
I set fsb at 240 and cpu multiplier to 10, mem frq to auto, and timings at 2-3-3-6 @ 2.7v and rebooted.

Screen showed ddr 400 and I booted up memtest..........ran all tests with no errors but when I exited, the cpu would hang on the Windows XP screen. I had to reset bios to get back into windows.

Never set auto...Its always picks the most ridiculous TRCD and TRP timings that rarely pass even for me...

4 sticks will require 2t timing, and perhaps more vdimm , more vcore if board is undervolting (on die memory controller), and more realxed timings....

All in all , I just went with some OCZ 2x1024. Ram ran great with 2x512 but the 4x512 was a little more picky .
