I'm a bit confused and certainly disappointed. Sandra benchmarks are far below what they should be. The system will not boot even to the BIOS at the rated timings. This system is unstable at even a modest 10% overclock. Solid airflow and good cooling in the case. < 38C case temp.
Any comments or thoughts are appreciated.
First the system:
P4P800 DLX BIOS-1016
P4-3.0c D1-9 Retail Box
TWINX1024-3200LLPRO
WD 200GB 7200 WD2000JD SATA
BFG GeForce FX 5700 Ultra
ANTEC TRUEBLUE 480
Now the issues:
Using memtest-86 3.1
1. Stable
200FSB
1:1
1.55 Vcore
2.55 Vdimm
1.5 Vagp
MAM Enabled
2. Unstable
220FSB
1:1
1.60 Vcore
2.85 Vdimm
1.6 Vagp
MAM and SS disabled
3. SPD configures this as 2.5-3-2-6 rather than the rated and "SPD programmed" 2.0-3-2-6.
4. Setting all BIOS defaults except manual timing to 2.0-3-2-6 - will not boot even to BIOS
5. Setting all Bios Defaults, Sandra benches at 4306 MB/s. Sandra's benchmark for the 865PE 2xPC3200 is 4888 MB/s
