i have a DS3 and 2gb of giel ram http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-058-GL&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813
however I cannot get it to post with 4-4-4-12 timings, no matter what I try. At the moment its 5-5-5-18 2T 1.9V, could someone post me the exact settings they got for their ram if you got the same ram and motherboard

Also, even with the latest bios update my board does not officially support 1333fsb, but I can easily reach this by setting up the bios myself, so could i use the new 1333fsb cpus ok

thanks

I had the Geil.

It should run at 2.1v 4-4-4-12. Booted fine for me. Im assuming the mobo is the GA-965p_DS3, just theres a couple of different chipsets now with the DS3/4 on the end. I run my FSB at 1600, so 1333 wont make much difference, you will just need to set it yourself.

yea it is that motherboard. Theres some other ram settings apart from the 4-4-4-12 in the bios and I leave them on auto or set them the same as they were when it auto set high latencies and it wont go past the Xp login

I basically changed the first 4 to the correct latencies 4-4-4-12 and left the rest alone. Make sure the ram is running at 800mhz. (It should overclock quite nicely, but rule it out anyway). And it has to be 2.1v.
