Can try manually, set the freq to 2133, timings to 9-9-9-24, 2T, 1.6 and don't know what mobo/CPU but may need to add a tad of voltage to the MC (Memory controller)

just a quick update, speed is now at 2133 @ 9 9 9 27 36 1T @ 1.65v

still adjusting the timings but seem good so far
on aida 64 read - 15969mb/s write - 1172mb/s copy - 19792mb/s latency - 42.2ns

if im to lower the timings again, what would i go to next?
9 8 9........

cheers

I'd try 8-9-9-27 (and if needed a little to the CPU/NB voltage - that's your MC voltage)

cpu/nb voltage is at 1.206250..
tried it at 8 9 9 27 keep getting blue screen, i think that might be the best for it.
stock its 1866 @ 9-10-9-27-2T
now its 2133 @ 9-9-9-27-1T

bank cycle time (tRC) was originally was originally 45 its now at 36
