Hello, I just built up a new system with two kits of F3-1600LC9D-4GBTD for a total of 8GB on the MSI P55-CD53 mainboard. It's running the latest BIOS, v1.3. (CPU is an Intel i7 860.)
I cannot get this RAM to run at 2000. I can get it to 1600 by setting MEM Ratio to 6, which is the max. XMP profiles will only get it to 1600, too.
I have been able to get the RAM to 1992 by setting XMP Profile to Auto and MEM Ratio to Auto, but then the FSB is boosted from 133MHz to 166MHz, causing the machine to crash trying to run the OS!
I would like to run my RAM at its rated speed of 2000 without overclocking the CPU, but I don't see how I can do that on this board. Am I missing something, or will I have to wait for a BIOS update?
TIA!
