For ~2 years I have been using a 2x1 gig kit of Corsair XMS 6400 RAM rated at 5-5-5-18-22 at 400mhz.
I ran it on a P5B, and it ran fine and overclocked well unless I tried to manually set the timings. If I set it to manual, it would fail, whether I relaxed or boosted the timings. I figured it was an incompatibility betwixt the Corsair and the P5B.
Well,,, I now have a Gigabyte UD3R (see sig) and it does the same thing! Runs great, passes Memtest and everything, but won't allow me to manually change the timings. I may want to kick my E8400 up a bit, and I wanted to be able to loosen the timings if necessary.
Can anyone tell me what may be going on with that RAM? Does that sound weird, or is it common?
Thanks,,,
