well duh your using memory thats not really supported by the board you have to downclock it to 1000mhz also the rest of your parts are very high end i would just get another board i was happy with my p5n-e @ 3.0ghz on my q6600 upset that it died

I currently have mushkin EM2 in the black slots and I want to upgrade to 4 x 1GB. Can you maybe guarantee that they'll work in the yellow slots?

well see i originaly bought this board for my e6600 and it was great to get up to about 3.4-3.5 with my 1200mhz hyper x ram..then i went to a lan event and i got the qx6700 for free and 4gigs of hyper x for free then i just bought the 9800gx2 and placed it into the board and it just took a **** the 4th ram slot burns out memory like no other, right now im saving for the gigabyte p45 chipset but i dont know which is better the gigabyte p45 or the 780i ftw...any takers on how to beast my computer?

[jchapman805]

ive tried alot with this board...ill try 1333fsb linked with the memory at auto i think and it will load up and everything just wont get past windows vista loadup...it wont even hit the bar were its trying to load just shuts off and reboots i have 4 gigs of hyper x 8500 and i got 2 extra gigs of hyper-x 9200 but i dont use it cause it would be a waist to place inside the system so i just let leave this system at 1066fsb with ram at 800mhz...ill take advise on what to do just post your opinions

first work on your cpu overclock by unlinking it then oc your ram and cpu after you have gone as high as you want

yea so I get that all the time but I dont give a ****, have you worked on your voltages at all?

I have my e6600 overclocked to 3.0 stable and with decently cool temps... could OC further but my CPU is a B2 and wont OC much past 3.4 anyways.

Either way, its a great board, not as easy to OC as my 780i but still. If its having a problem its one of two things, flaky hardware, old bios revisions, or user error. Apparantly quads wont get much past 3.0 on this board, but 2.8-2.9 should be fairly simple.
