Hello Gskill,
I am trying without success to get my mobo to run 8GB of this GSkill memory @1066. I have a PhenomII 720 B/E in the board. I OC'd the cpu by simply upping the multiplier from 14 to 16.
I changed my NB voltage to 1.4 volts and changed the TRFC. I tried 195 and got memory problem diagnosis after running the Vista Memory Diagnostic Tool. I then changed the TRFC to the 327 or whatever the next default option was in this bios and the diagnosis for the memory was all good. BTW, I also upped my memory voltage to 2.1 volts. I was happy with that result.
Then I ran Prime 95 to see how stable the setup was and all 3 workers quit within 2 minutes.
When I crank the memory back down to 800 MHz and back all the voltages down, I can Prime 95 for hours with no issues. (with the CPU still being OC'd to X16 on standard voltage)
I have great cooling in my case and my core temps never get over 42c during Prime 95.
Is there something I'm missing? I really want to be able to run this memory at 1066.
My OS is Vista Home Premium 64bit. I have a 700 watt PSU and 3 120 mm fans with an H50 CPU cooler.
I am a complete novice and this is my first build, so go easy on me, please. LOL
Thanks
