Hi guys,
got this board with X5650 and got now myself 3x8GB Tacticals 1600MHz, 1,5V, 888 24 1T. Thing is, the board won't post when set on 1600 MHz (tried also only one module - same result). On 1333, everything is top notch ok. With 4x4GB modules, it goes to 1600MHz alright and probably more with no problem (mixed bag of Corsairs and HyperXs together). Is this a fault of memory controller it cannot handle 8GB modules, or could it be exoticism of Micron chips? I know the board can take 48GB together (maybe even 96), but I wanted get 1600 MHz for OC potential of CPU. Tried to change timings to 10 10 10 30 2T and no luck. Bios 1701, 2SSDs,3HDDs. I welcome every advice, thanks.
