ASUS P5N32-E SLI & Muskin XP2-8500 4gig (996562)

[klau1]

After a whole week of tweaking, efforts to POST @ stock 1066Mhz-5-5-4-12 has all but failed.

A short call to a technician at Muskin, reveals that it is a known issue between the P5N32-E SLI and "high end" memory. After calling back as requested by the technician, he said that their technicians were unable to POST @ stock speeds during their 5 hours of manual tests.

The suggested action was an exchange from ASUS to EVGA or BFG due to their referenced designs.

Does any1 have a similar experience?
Does anyone know of BIOS settings or hacked BIOS for this MOBO to make this work?

thx

Can you boot at any speed using 4 x 1 gig?

yep, anything under 920 DDR (460MHz) via unlinked dividers. Upping the voltage above 2.3 doesn't help to get any higher.

Well,thats much better than 730 mhz,which is what i can do with 4 x 1gb on my motherboard(see signature).Is everything stable at 920 mhz?Any progress in these past couple of days?
