well 1st off what a great chip this E4 sandy is....
currently at 2.8ghz at stock vaultage (actually a little over according to my asus probe - 1.42 - 1.44 vaults.
further to yesterdays mail about heat, i am assured that my temps will drop once the arctic cooler cement beds in, currently at 53degs under full load, but am told i can expect to get that under 50 degress as soon as she is bedded in. if not i will reseat it with arctic silver.
anyway, my only minor gripe is i am having to use my 5/6 divider with my ram.
it is the G-skill standard 2gb ddr500 ram from overclockers, and it appears it should be running ok at the standard 1:1 with a 250mhz fsb.
sadly it is very flaky when i do that :/
now if it cant be fixed i am not bothered, this is the fasted computer i have ever used, but if i can get it quicker why not.
my motherboard is a brand new asus a8n-sli premium. it doesnt state the memory dividers (its a bit odd) for 1:1 you select ddr400, 5:6 ddr333 etc.
i selected the 1:1 DDR 400, and wacked the fsb to 250, but under prime it failed within 5 mins, and it couldnt complete a round of 3d mark.
at current speed - (2805) with the 5:6 rati0 the ram is at 425mhz and it seems rock stable.... but it is meant to be ddr500 ram.
i know other things can affect it, motherboard stability at haight fsb's etc but i would have thought that should be ok at these relatively low levels.
