Proper Settings For F2 8500 CL5 with Asus Commando
This ram works great if you take the time to set up your motherboard properly.
Asus Commando
Intel E8400 CPU
F2 8500 CL5 Ram 2 x 1GB
Leadtek 8500GT video card
Enermax 800watt Liberty
Coolermaster Stacker case
Main hard drive 74 GB Raptor
Data drives: WD 640GB, WD 500GB, WD 320 GB
Since this board allows different CPU multiplier settings I set this to 6, the lowest setting.
Then adjusted the FSB until the BIOS settings for ram showed 1065.
CPU 533.1 X 6 = 3198.6
FSB 2132.4
Running the ram at 5 5 5 15.
Everything else is set to auto.
This motherboard does not like all 4 ram slots filled and works best in dual channel mode.
Hope this helps some of you to set up your systems properly.
Stay tuned as I plan on buying a P5Q and using the same CPU and 4GB of this ram for a backup system.
