I miss my max. It was faster in all bench's and seemed much higher quality.
I don't like this mobo and it doesn't like me. It's probably a learning curve and I'll love the icfx once it's set up, but for the moment I don't love it.
Memory issues are my main gripe. This dominator ram is rated for 1066, 5-5-5-15. So I set it at 533 in the bios, following Tony's guide I changed the timings - pretty conservatively, basically to dominator rated timings as dfi default is 5(cas)-8(ras to cas delay)-8(ras precharge)-26(tras)-32(trc).
If I manually change these settings in the bios to anything other than dfi auto the pc will not boot (error 50) or if I find some timings that will boot I get lots of errors in mem test.
I have been forced to run slightly oc'd, 2t at 5-8-8-26-32.
Same cpu oc (3.5) with current mem settings super pi 1m is 1 second slower and 32m is a minute slower!
