My current setup:
AMD Athlon II X2 245
Asus M4A785TD-V EVO (bios version 0602)
G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
I'm trying to increase the cpu speed and having many problems. Memory is correctly setup manually in the bios, I'm using the manufacturer specified memory timings, but have tried many other combinations as well. I can't get this thing to boot at any speed over 210Mhz
I've been searching these forums and it looks like lots of other people have the same problem with this setup:

Just like the others, system won't boot if I increase speed past 210Mhz.
But I know for a fact that the CPU and the Motherboard have no problem at 220Mhz or higher, because I originally had Patriot memory PDC34G1333ELK, and it ran at those speeds all day with no problems. I switched to the faster G.Skill memory with the hopes of getting more speed.
From other people here, it sounds like I can get more speed if I reduce the memory to 400Mhz. But that would obviously be counter productive.
I am in a good situation, because this is recently purchased, and I can exchange it for F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ
My question is, does the NQ memory experience the same issues that the RL? Or will that solve my problem?
Asus does list the NQ as a qualified product, but not the RL. So I'm hoping that will do the trick.
As a secondary question: What's the difference between the NQ and the RL? Other than the headspreader, there seems to be no difference at all.
