BIOS settings for GA-EX58-UD5 with F3-160000CL9T-6GBRH

I'm having stabiltiy issues when using the XMP to get it running at 2000MHz. Currently running mostly stable at 1066MHz. Please help. Thx.

I'm using an I7 920.

did you try to set BIOS manually by the guide?

No luck

That guide didn't work at all. The settings in it are close but not exact for the MB I'm using. Once I set the settings in the guide I couldn't even get to the POST; it just kept resetting.

I need the correct settings for the following hardware:
GSkill F3-16000CL9T-6GBRH
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
Intel I7 920

Thanks

You'll want to put the settings in manually, don't depend on the 'AUTO", to start off ensure you have the latest BIOS or the new Beta, so either F7 or F9E (can be found here)

Next, set base timings to 9-9-9-24, DRAM Voltage to 1.6, Command Rate at 2T (or 2N depending on how it shows) and give it a try, if no joy, pls post your voltage settings and advanced DRAM timingsi

I just went through that guide and I can say for sure that the reason you aren't able to boot up windows with those settings is because the uncore voltage is too low to run memory that fast. I keep seeing this issue all over this forum. 1.35v is the spec limit Intel says is safe, but if you want to run memory that is overclocked, you are going to need to increase the voltages beyond spec.

That's why it's called "overclocking." Either way, keep your uncore voltage within .5v of your dram voltage and you should be safe. You will probably need more than 1.45-1.5v on the uncore to get this stable but every processor is different. Good luck!
