Hey guys NEED a little troubleshooting here. Had a guy I work with offer me a thousand more than I paid to build my rig, as long as It runs stress test for 24hrs or more. That was no sweat but I realized that I never bothered tweak my memory settings. So I started going through the paces trying to get stable at 4,4,4,12,1clock running at 800mhz maybe 900mhz. But for some reason I cant for the life of me get it to run through memtest on anything but auto voltage(1.85v) anything above that errors... With everything Ive read on the striker extreme this seems backwards. I feel that without hitting somewhat higher voltages that I wont ever get stability on anything but stock timings. The gigabit version of the 680i I had wanted at least 2.2v on the memory. What gives? I am a little pressed for time or I would have done some more research and posted a couple of pics. One thing I did notice was the famous asus vdroop from 1.31vcore to 1.248vcore in cpuz. Also at load drops from 1.31v to 1.28v think this has anything to do with my memory woes? Thought about trying the pencil mod but no time and if I get the memory to something semi respectable I'm plenty happy. Thanks in advance.
