Well I wouldn't RMA that just yet. Test it in another rig or a friends rig if you can.

Have you Prime 95ed the ram with everything else at stock yet though?

NB Stock is 1.1v
CPU/NB Stock is 1.1v
I think HT is 1.1v as well

The CPU/NB voltage is specifically for the NB frequency. Think of the NB (IMC) as a separate CPU within the processor. Just like a processor, it needs voltage increases to be stable at higher clocks. How much you have to increase it to get higher depends on your chip's NB

NB voltage is for the North bridge chip specifically on the motherboard. Increasing this voltage helps with ram stability

This ram has given me probs since I got it. In both my Intel build, and now this rig, it passes Memtest86 every time...but if you run 4 1024mb instances of HCI memtest...it will weed out a bad stick on each rig.

Ouch, may be necessary then.

UPDATE: Also guys:

I am making this thread for 965 BE's as well. They are not out yet, but once they release, This will be a haven for OCing the 965 as well as the 955. This is why I have changed the title and made some changes to the OP

The 965 is not available yet, but from what we have seen, it is most likely coming for sure. I like to be on top of the game.


Thanks

hey iandroo888, did u mention that u run ur ram at 1.9V?that's kinda high...are u using ocz gold ddr3 6gb?im only running mine at 1.65V(672Mhz,NB freq 2500Mhz,timing 7-7-7-21-1T) now.im not sure why,but too high a voltage actually causes instability in my system when running p95.

no this isnt the tri channel version. this is the dual channel 2x2gb. the sticker says 1.9v so i thought that was stock.. but hmm.. will take note of that.. ill try 1.65 xD
