Purchased the HyperX and couldnt get it to run at the advertised 2-3-2-6-1T, so I order some Patriot 3200-XBL. Swapped them out and the patriot registered at 2-2-2-5 on auto -sweet. I tested with 2T enabled and then with it disabled, over a 1000 point jump in bandwidth with 2T disabled.

When I set the CPU V at 1.5 I get an occasional screen flicker, screen goes black for a second then picks up right where it was. Should I just leave the CPU V on auto (~1.68) or is that to high.

Any suggestions on how to eliminated the occasional flicker and what would be good OC settings for this set up??

I'm running a ASUS A8V delux (ver2), 3500+ (939, winchester 90nm) OCZ 520W, Samsung Syncmaster 191Tplus, Radeon 9600XL. I have left all the voltages on auto, except the cpu, it is set at 1.5V.
Thanks.

Oh by the way, ordered the Patriot form Newegg on Monday night (~9pm) and it was delivered today (Wednesday) and I'm on the east coast - great service.
 
Kingston must be having trouble with their quality control. My HyperX is rated at 2-3-2-5. It runs at 2.5-3-3-6.

I'm going to take it back.
 
MrCodeDude,

Looks like I/\'m not alone with the HyperX problem. I installed the Patriot and left the bios on auto and it comes right up as 2-2-2-5, I then disabled the 2T and it still runs great. Now If I can just figure out the screen flicker problem. I'm using a wireless mouse, any possiblity this is causing the problem?
 
Heh... I think they sent AK2s to everybody that ordered that... even if you buy it at a FRY's B&M you'll get the AK2s. Took a little fiddling around with but my sticks will run 2-3-2-5 so I'm happy with them. 🙂
