I reset my bios and used stock for everything with RAM profile1... 133BCL
Then I ran
Memtest86+ v4.2 while I watched a movie with these settings (this is what the bios program read).
Chipset: Core IMC (EEC
![:D :D]()
isabled) - BCC 133Mhz - QPI:4.7GT/s
Settings: RAM:931Mhz(this is x2 so 1862 aka BCL 133x14)

RsvdMem - 4K

BIOS settings (All on 133xauto)
x14 RAM Frequency = 1862Mhz
x26 Uncore = 3724Mhz
x36 QPI = 4.788GT/s (2394Mhz)
So
2.5 Uncore to
1QPI
RATIO (in Mhz)
2 Uncore to
1RAM Frequency
RATIO (in Mhz)
Since those ratios ran very stable I'm starting to think the dotpoints below are incorrect
-Uncore should always be below QPI
-QPI link speed should not be raised over 8GT/s (4000Mhz), I belive this one cuz patriot memory warns about that too
-8:9 Uncore vs QPI ratio is ideal, the closer you get to 1:1 ratio the more unstable.
-DRAM speed must be in (or as close to) 1:2 DRAM vs QPI ratio as possible (probably true) or less to QPI link speed.
(I can't link the guide that claims this cuz I saved it from a laptop).
BIOS Voltage Tab remeber these values show with all on [AUTO]
1.150V QPI/Vtt Voltage
1.8V CPU PPL
1.1V QPI PPL
DRAM (all AUTO)
1.5V DRAM Voltage
0.75V for all other DRAM V options (seems like it enjoys a 2:1 ratio)
Advanced Memory Options (All AUTO and
X.E.M Enabled with Profile1)
Out of
Standard, Turbo and Express or whatever... it was selected on Standard
Profile DDR Voltage 1.65 is displayed (Since Advanced voltage bios has a different number of 1.5V I don't know what it used during Memtest86+)
Profile QPI Voltage 1.6 (again, I don't know the real value it really used here, for everything else I do)
xChannel Interleaving 6 Auto
xRank Interleaving 4 Auto
Channel A/B/C Timing Settings
Standard
9 CAS
9 tRCD
9 tRP
27 tRAS (26 in Bios M.I.T Current Status and CPU-Z)
Advanced Timings
50 tRC
6 tRRD
8 tWTR
15 tWR
27 tWTP (25 in M.I.T)
8 tWL
8 tRTP
30 tFAW
COMMAND RATE (CMD) 2 (I have option 0 to 3 here if I want to change it, will 0 be faster then 1? I know 1>2)
Reads by Reads
6 Different DIMMs
5 Different Ranks
1 On the same Rank
Writes by Writes
6 Different DIMMs
6 Different Ranks
1 On the same Rank
Under M.I.T it says
tRAS 26, tRRD 6, tWTP 25 AND
t104
So once again it's hard to tell what it actually used from Profile1 in the stability test.
THATS IT! Makes me belive there is nothing wrong with the RAM. But maybe my motherboard has a cry if I want to use it at 2000Mhz (GA-X58A-UD5 rev1.0 claims to be 2000 compatible up to 2200Mhz with the board OCd from their own site).
So ya. I'm at a loss.
