Hello,
I made a post back in 2012 about this same RAM and motherboard, but have since upgraded my CPU and doubled the number of RAM sticks to 16 MB of two 8MB Dual Channel Kits. I am still having the same problems with getting this RAM to operate at 1866MHz with the suggested timings of 9-10-9-28, though. It will boot BIOS fine and even at 1875MHz, but will not boot Windows and instead shows a blue screen then immediately reboots. Also, as soon as I installed the other 8MB Dual Channel kit, the speed of all the RAM went from 1600Mhz down to 1333MHz. So now I am wondering if the problem may be that my 700 watt power supply is not enough for the system I have, or would that not have this effect on the RAM settings? To help diagnose the problem I have attached several screenshots of the BIOS settings I use for the working 1333MHz and the not working 1866MHz speeds. In 2012 someone suggested upping the RAM voltage to 1.55, but it seems the BIOS has automatically upped it to 1.65 and this can be seen in the screenshots. Another suggestion was to up the NB voltage, and that is currently set at the default of 1.100V (also shown in the screenshots). I have not yet tried to up the NB voltage, but am willing to try if someone thinks that may help.
Thank you in advance!
