ok, it throws errors at 2.2v 4-4-4-12.. but not at 2.2v 5-4-4-12 I have more choices that I can change, but I don't know what they mean.. and I suppose this is the closest i can get, but I don't know what I can do to make it run optimally or this is optimal. i may pose the question in the...

another update... it seems as though at 2.2v 4-4-4-12 (manufacturer recommended) it will only run 2 sticks... at 4 sticks it throws errors and becomes unstable... if i let the mobo choose the settings (which is at 1.8v i dont know the other settings) it passes the tests... how should i...
