Hello,

New build, not looking to OC. Looking for safest BIOS settings to run RAM safely at 2000 Mhz. MOBO v 1.0 BIOS rev F5.

Regards,

Many guides around here for this setup.

Should look something like this:

CPU Clock Ratio - 17x for 2.8GHz
QPI Link Speed - AUTO
Base Clock Control - Enabled
BCLK Frequency - 167
Performance Enhance - Standard
Extreme Memory Profile - Disabled
System Memory Multiplier - 12

Uncore & QPI Features
Uncore Frequency - 4008

DRAM Timing Selectable - Manual

CAS Latency Time - 9
tRCD - 9
tRP - 9
tRAS - 27

Enter these for the other three as well.

Channel A Timing Settings

Advanced Timings
Command Rate - 2

Advanced Voltage Control
Load-Line Calibration - Disabled
CPU Vcore - 1.32V
QPI/VTT Voltage - 1.60V

DRAM Voltage - 1.600V
Rest to AUTO

Thank you

Did you manage to get the sticks running at 2000 with the Motherboard ?

[GSKILL TECH]

Do a search for "x58a", many people use this combination. =)

Almost

I went through all the suggestions but running at 2000 just wasn't stable under stress. The best I could get was 1716. Not too shabby, but not quite as advertised.

You can reduce timings if you're only at DDR3-1716. 8-8-8-24 will be stable, but you can try lowering to 7-7-7-21 for max performance.
