I picked up one of these as a replacement for a Asus board that died. Anyway does this bioard really support 400 mHz memory in dual channel mode? So far I cannot get this to run the Corsair TwinX1024 I bought for it. I have tried an 1800+ and 2600+ and at the stock settings both die within an hour using the sissandra burn in program. I did find I have to use slots 2 and 3 for the memory to even get it to boot.
I have looked around and it looks like the only way to get these boards to work in dual channel mode is to really slow the timings down quite a bit, which would seem to me that this board cannot really handle this ram at stock settings. Running sync at 333 seems fine, but async is the problem.
I have tried the F2 and F3 bioses, but they appear to be the same. I am wondering about the fan on the northbridge which stops under windows, could that be a problem?
I don't know if I got a lemon or not, but compared to the A7N8X(?) I am very dissapointed, at least it always would run stock settings.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
