Just built new system with some Corsair XMS2 PC6400 4-4-4-12
Noticed that, according to CPU-Z, whilst the SPD does indeed show the above settings at 400Mhz, it was actually running at 5-5-5-18.
What's more worrying is that if I try to force the 4-4-4-12 (or just setting the first to 4 and leaving the remainder on Auto) prevents the machine from booting and I have to reset the BIOS!
Have I got duff memory here? I paid for CAS4 stuff so why isn't it running at CAS4!? Mobo is an Abit IP35.
