I ordered one, order got in process and then automatically canceled because out of stock. I am upset, this would have been a real sweet deal :mad:

Thank you Jeenam for your input. I use the latest official Biostar Bios. I tried the one you told me & deactivated all the new funcky processor features - no more luck - whatever I do, I am stuck to an FSB of 352Mhz. I also unplugged all vents, unused drives, etcc (I have a 425W Enermax) -...

You should not be scared - your memory was used in many tests - this is what I should have bought myself. It is a great board, I am sure it will work great :)

Thanks Bill for your answer. I do not use Windows, but Linux (yes I know, you will make fun of me - like many others do - but I really enjoy my Ubuntu :D and I don't think I will switch back to Windows). I can boot and the system works pretty well at FSB 400Mhz. I then ran some stress...

Let me ask you something else - as it is not working at FSB 400Mhz and RAM 800Mhz (1:1), why would the memory be an issue and not the board itself? After all, the memory works pretty well at stock speed - which is also 800Mhz See what I mean? Ioan

I already payed $150 for the pair - I can't afford changing ... I really thought Corsair was the right memory to go with :confused: What memory would you recommend? Thanks :) Ioan

Also, another question: if I run the FSB at 400Mhz and the memory at 1:1 (533 in the BIOS), the memory should not even be overclocked because it will run at 800Mhz --> that is why I wonder why I should bump the memory voltage Does this make sense? Thanks :) Ioan

Thanks for your replies. In answer to your questions: - memtest runs fine at stock speed - the memory if already at 2.2V (cannot go beyond) - BIOS reports 2.16v I am reading more and more that this board is very picky to memory --> I start wondering if Corsair is a good fit for this...

Hello Everybody I got a brand new E6300 + Biostar Tforce 965PT + Corsair TWIN2 XMS 2*512 DDR2 800Mhz (4-4-4-12 @ 2.1V) and I am unable to break 352Mhz on the FSB. If I go beyond - 352 Mhz w/ memory 5-5-5-15 and 800Mhz - or 400 Mhz w/ memory 5-5-5-15 and 533Mhz -->memtest always fails...
