New BIOS Asus P5E
- Pros: A little under 1250 on a Asus P5E X38 with 4x1, Q6700 @ 8x416.
- Cons: Had to wait a long time for a BIOS from Asus that would work.
- Other Thoughts: I was using the Rampage 0403 BIOS with my P5E and happy to be running 1120, with the release of BIOS 0903 I've been able to run at rated speed with ease. At present I'm running a E8500 @ 9.5x 432 ram at 1152, 5-5-5-15-3-42 with a tRD of 6.
Not what I had hoped
- Pros: Cheap.
- Cons: I have never, in the fifteen years or so of building my own machines, had to jump through so many hoops to make 1200 memory run at -- gasp -- 1200 like it's supposed to. Like the guy before me, I put this in an Asus P5Q motherboard (I actually built two machines identically in one day) using Vista Home Premium 64, and while it detects all four gigs in each machine, it detects them at 800 mhz. So far, all the back and forth e-mails between myself and a customer rep at Patriot have solved nothing. Half the stuff I am supposed to change in the BIOS is either not there, or changes all the letter coloring to yellow if I up values. Lots of fun? Um, no.
- Other Thoughts: A guy throwing a machine together shouldn't have to practically design a new BIOS just to run memory. I've never had this problem with Corsair. If you're out there, Patriot people, do me a favor, research this particular motherboard (again, the ASUS P5Q) and tell me EXACTLY what it is I am supposed to do. No more of this "try this, try that" stuff.

Manufacturer Response:Dear Tony, We are sorry for the inconvenience this matter has caused you. When using high performance modules, it is not recommended to occupy all memory banks as the higher bandwidth on these modules will require the timing and the voltage to be even more tweaked and may even cause instability with the system. With Regards, Guy
Kind of tricky to set up.
- Pros: I made it run stable!!!
- Cons: It won’t run at manufacturer's spec even thought my Asus P5Q motherboard's memory standard is 1200mhz. Supposedly it needs an "extreme chipset." Lowering the MHz wasn't enough. I finally got it to run stable when I lowered the voltage from 2.3 to 2.2v. Now I run it at a stable 1066 MHz and 5-5-5-12 timing.
- Other Thoughts: Intel P45 chipset not good enough for this RAM? It works great at 2.2v, 1066mhz, and 5-5-5-12 timing. I have a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and PC Power and Cooling 750 watt PSU.
