I tried upping the CPU NB voltage and it didn't help... prime95 still failed within seconds. My Gigabyte board definitely does not like the Patriot RAM; my brother got his ASUS board from RMA and it works in his build no problem. I hope my Mushkin kit works.Try upping the CPU/NB voltage slightly to help stabilise the memory controller.
Also could be that the memory controller in your chip sucks just like my 640 x4 did, try running RAM under rated speeds.
Yeah, my motherboard has an offset. My brother's ASUS board has a CPU vid value, but it seems like he can still enable CnQ. I decided to disable CnQ and C1E, though, because it makes videos stutter and seeking very slow. I'm assuming it's because I'm using DXVA hardware acceleration, and I'm sure I could just adjust the power options in Win7, but I decided to just disable it completely and just undervolt it.Depends if your voltage option in BIOS is regulating Offset of CPU vid or vid itself.
If you can select Offset then your CPU voltage will be lower by certain amount from CPU default voltages. If your BIOS can set only CPU vid value, then after setting a value it either won't let you enable C'n'Q or simply after booting to Windows your voltages will be set back to stock.
Most mobos set Offset voltage.
Thanks for the info.
Now I'm just waiting for my RAM to get back and hopefully it works.
