Hello to everybody in the forum!
MB: Asus Rampage Formula X48 chispet, BIOS version 0902 ( Only one newer version exists on asus web site 1001. I think mine is quite new and no necessary to update again).
CPU Core 2 Quad Q9550 E0 stepping. SLB8V
Memory : G.skill F2-9600CL5D-4GBTD

PSU: Corsair AX850W (Professional series. Seasonic platform based. One of the best PSUs available)

Memtest program version 4.00
I have problems with 2x2gb DDR 2 1200mhz Trident running at 1200mhz . I start receiving errors on MEMTEST version 4 program after 1160mhz. Errors are in test 8 sometimes 5 which indicates not correct latency settings as far as I know... and not correct settings at all. The erros happend always in different memory address so I suppose memory is not damaged. I passed one night memtest (eleven passes I made) at ddr 1113mhz with no errors . The voltage for memory was 1.84V all other voltages was AUTO.
I want somebody to tell me all settings of FSB termiantion votlages , PLL, FSB straps, 1st 2nd 3rd inforamtion memory latencies, other voltages. I have a major question regarding voltages. How many volts are not dangerous for Vdimm in order not to kill the memory chips FOR CONTIUNIOUS USE- 24/7 or at leaset 12 hours per day. I want to use at rated mhz speed-1200mhz . Is 2.0V a killing high voltage for this low voltage ICs or it is ok ?
I have already tested a lot of settings with no success. And I started to become bored of this try and test method that is why I am asking for professional help. I cannot make memtest pass over 1160-1170mhz no matter what voltage I use . Maximum I put for one test 1,96V but again spontanoeus errors happened. Have in mind that the motherboard is overvolting a little bit so the real voltage was maybe 1.98 or 2.00V. I don't want to try more voltage on this ICs.
I used even downcloked CPU with downclocked FSB. Noraml is 333x8,5. I used about 290-310 x6. So for sure the problem is not CPU /FSB. Command rate was set manually to 2N. Latecnies are 5-5-5-15 as specified.
The settings for 1st 2nd 3rd information for memory I tried from this thread:
http://gskill.us/forum/showthread.ph...=deluxe&page=2
All voltages except Vdimm were in auto in the befinning. Vdimm I tried to rise up to 1,96V as I said. I am afraid for more. I also tried to put FSB termination vltage and North Bridge voltage in the yellow zone both but again errors occured. ( Yellow zone means-a function in asus MB that show you in three colours how dangerous is voltage for a particular component. For example until 2,3V Vdimm the digits are GREEN-safe, from 2,3-2,9 the digits are YELLOW-HIGH and above 2,9 the digits are RED-meaning ARE YOU CRAZY - you will burn something. The intervals I dont remeber so clearly so I wrote this digits as an example....). I am not crazy and I think experiments in the Yellow interval are enough.
I am not very familair with the meaning of FSB STRAP to NB settings. Most of the times it was -AUTO, but I tried with 400 and 266-no difference. Always errors on test 8 , very rarely 5. Spontaenous erros- 1 error per 2 3 passes. Sometimes 2 passes with no error and errors occur on third pass.
So please anyone form gskill technicians give me all settings to run the memory at 1200mhz. The speed that I paid for . For now the upgrade was useless for me because I used OCZ Blade 1150 working fine at about 1160mhz. I just wanted top of the DDR2 speeds.
Is it possible meory ICs to be damaged and not to be able to achieve 1200 but working at less speed. Is it possible this memtest version 4.00 to have problesm. May be to try with the newest-4.2 or 4.1 . But I think 4.0 is new enough?
I don't have troubles in WIN 7 at 1160mhz. No BSOD for now and no problems .
