Would it be possible to provide me with the correct settings in order to run this memory at 1066 with the following components?

Thank You!

we only provides the general 4 timing which is 5-5-5-15 and voltage at 2.1v. because every motherboard has different seting for adv-timing, we are not able to provide any adv-time setting

[SWATSniper]

So If I'm understanding you correctly, this memory should run at 1066 with 5-5-5-15 and 2.1v.

Correct?

[GSKILL TECH]

yes. because you have a odd multiplier CPU; which means when you set it at FSB200 / DDR2 1066, memory will run at slower speed. now you overclock to FSB215 / ddr2 1066 ratio, it will be ok

The memory is still running at 800mhz.

The specified settings are 6-6-6-18.

I've got mem voltage at 2.1v and timings at 6-6-6-18 and it's still showing 800MHZ.

Please help.

Thank You

Correction. You state that 5-6-6-18 at 2.1v is what is needed for 1066. I cannot get the machine to POST with these settings. I have changed my multiplier to 10 and set FSB to 240 but still no luck. Please help.

I've contacted ASUS in regards to this to make sure I'm not missing something obvious on the board. They state that it seems this memory is not compatible with my board. Can anyone verify. I've spent a lot on replacing memory modules so far, since Newegg won't take returns on your memory.

ASUS says all I should have to do is change DRAM setting in BIOS from "default" to 1066. I wish it was that simple. I cannot get machine to POST if I do that.


Please help.

sorry, the screenshot is too small to see the words clear

you need to set the timings manually to 5-5-5-15 in BIOS and raise the voltage to 2.1v
and the northbridge/HT voltage also needs to set to 1.4-1.5v
thanks
