So I picked up a 2gb kit of Kingston HyperX pc3200 a little while back now. I'm having all sorts of trouble with it and my board. Getting it to boot initially was a royal pain in the ass (no plug and go anything), it took some finagling with which ram went in which slots and junk first. First thing I did was went to see if it would clock up to my 2x512mb Corsair Modules that would do 415@2-3-3-7. Found I was wishing and had to clear cmos and start over. So I put the clock speed to 300 for some easier calculations pretty much spent a solid 4 hours or so just trying to get it to boot at the 2/3 divider. Tried several configurations of timings. So could not get i to windows ever. I ran my machine at stock settings for about a week to see if a burn in did anything for overclocking. Came back to it and still does the exact same thing. I cannot get anything other than the 1/2 divider to work at anything over 200fsb. So I went and through in the old ram...works fine still. Figured I'd try some new bios, and flashed to tmod's latest, then tried the previous. Still stuck at the 1/2 divider. So any advice? Anybody else with this ram and board?

We really need to know what timings you're trying to run with before we can do anything for you.

well if I'm reading it correctly you might want to try DFI's official BIOS and see how that works because I have the same RAM as you and I'm running in an nF4 SLI-DR and no problems here.

Or try calling up Kingston, their tech support guys are the best and are very helpful no matter what time you call them

Lets see, the basic timings i've tried have pretty much been from 2-3-2-6 up to 3-6-6-14. I figured anything past that I was just pissing in the wind. I've also tried a hefty voltage range going up to 3.0 with no luck.

I have tried the official Bios, so far the bios i've used are the shipped bios (which worked fine with the corsair memory), the latest DFI bios, both versions of the tmods bios, and another ocz tony's bios. I'm wondering if i've got something screwy happening where the kingston ram doesn't like playing with my memory divider nicely.
