Cheers for that ALXAndy, ill give that a try, any other changes? What about ram timing? Also ive read in many forums on overclock.net that they do advice you to set a v for your rams, is this knowledge from personal experience or has it been proven?
ps. ive made the pictures bigger
I would load optimised defaults, then go about your business, leaving the ram voltage alone. TBH? the board usually always gets it right. The only time it didn't (settings not voltage) was when I used my extreme memory.
But every single time I have added a setting for the memory voltage my boards (both my CHV and my M59a7) have become completely unstable, even freezing up on the desktop with normal clocks.
Go back a few pages to where I updated my bios. I fought with the rig all day trying to get it stable and eventually went back to the old bios thinking it was the new one. It wasn't. What ensued was about eight hours of me ripping my hair out only to find what the cause was.
Usually I guess in the end I would just forget to volt the ram, and that's when I would get stability. It was also happening to Alex, and he runs an Asus board too.
I do know for sure that this is not limited to the Crosshair. As I say, I've had it happen to me on my M59a7 too, and that's not even a 990 based board.
It also happened to a friend of mine with a Sabertooth, so that's three boards I've seen it on now, all Asus.
It may only happen with certain brands of memory, but I've used both Mushkin and Geil and same thing happened on both.
The auto setting will always work and provide enough juice to the ram, so I don't lose any sleep over letting it do it automatically.
