Thats one problem...are you using the passive HS that came on it?

And becareful about VDD modding the 8RDA+...if you use the SMD grabbers...make sure they are securely fitted (had the positive side pop off and fry the MB on one 8RDA+ and a bad solder job on another)...

With the NF7 non or S...it has a VDD voltage option in the BIOS...no worring about the VDD mod or destroying the board from a bad mod...

Sell the 8RDA+ and use that money to help you buy a NF7 non or S rev 2.0 ...

yep. i have to run 5,3,3,2.5 to do it - but its totally stable at 2.7volts. i tried pushing it further and it works, but my memory bandwidth doesnt get any better so its just not worth it. 191 is the sweet spot for this ram, and 2.7gig of bandwidth is good enough for me (for now........)
