just as the title says i got my 3200+ running at 2400mhz and 4x256 corsair3200xl sticks running at 240mhz but im having a coldboot problem anyone got any experience with this or got any tips for me ? thx in advance / Lajnus
 
Is it a Winchester core? Do you bump up the VCore any? If you have a Winchester core and adjust the VCore, you will have cold boot problems above 219HTT or so. Still waiting for the Bios fix :(. You won't have any problems if you set it up to boot at stock and OC in Windows using ClockGen.

okay thx ill try that :)
 
Also 4x256 is not the optimal way to get 1GB with the memory controller on the Winchester.
 
DDR333 and 2T timings? Just wondering :). If you do better than that, you got lucky ;).

I have a wichester 3500 and the volt core is up to 1.45 and HTT is 290 and i have no cold boot problem, My bios is the 3.0 release version.

Sounds like a power supply problem,this motherboard needs a high quality power supply.
I have a 3500 winchester with 1.45 volt and 290 HTT with 1 gb 4400 ram,and an OCZ 520 power stream power supply and i dont have any issues at all.
 
I have the same OCZ Powerstream and I have the cold boot problem :(. I have to run mine at 1.55 VCore to be stable at 2.4Ghz though. That's why I think it's a voltage issue :). Winchesters that run at or near stock voltage to OC don't seem to be affected, but the newer CBBID's seem to require more voltage to OC which is where the problems are.
