Thanks for the guide. You mention ##Channel A Misc Timing Control##
Round Trip Latency ...................46. Does this setting go in the Channel B also?

[GSKILL TECH]

Yes, same memory should have no issues.

Thank you

Hello everyone and thx for the great support in here.

I'm a ''n00b'' when it comes to overclocking and all those BIOS settings so this specific thread is very helpful to me as my RAM memory is almost the same (F3-16000CL9D-4GBRH) and mobo veery similar (P55A-UD3R), and proc is i7 860.
Yesterday I was trying to make my memory run at 2000MHz and the only thing I've changed was BCLK to 200, after that on startup there it was - 2000 MHz but on windows boot it resets.
I've set my DRAM Voltage at 1.6V of course.
My CPU clock ratio is at 22x , maybe it's too much after setting bclk to 200 ?

So my question is, should I do exactly as you wrote for i7 860?
CPU clock no more than 17x?

Thank you

You are missing out on a main voltage, which is very common. QPI/VTT Voltage must be increased for DDR3-2000. I would set it at 1.40V and then find the lowest stable value.

CPU Clock can be whatever you want, but you will want to stay under 3.6GHz if you have a stock CPU cooler.

Thank you

I see, rgr that I'll try as you said.
No I have a Zalman CNPS10X Quite

Thank You

EDIT :

Working like a charm
