Default No luck with these settings

Tried these settins, my OS wouldn't boot, system reboots right before OS should boot. I noticed the DRAM timings on with my board were different, bios reported:

2nd Information: 1N-63-63-66 while your screenshot shows
2nd Information: 1N-61-63-66

I have bios version 1206. Any help appreciated gents!

Just to test the modules, try booting them with all of the settings above except the memory frequency. Try setting the memory frequency to 1333 and see if your system is stable.

I assume the modules are fine since with default settings everything seems to work. I kept bumping the QPI and retrying. I have QPI somewhere around 1.55-ish and things seem to be stable. What application do you recommend to test the memory. Memtest86 and SiSandra seem to be the popular ones.

Thanks for your help!

extended tests are failing, can't get this to be reliable at 1866Mhz. Im guessing the new bios and these settings dont jive.

What do you mean by extended tests? In what test? And with memtest just use the default tests.

Change DRAM timing mode from 1N to 2N and see if that helps. Command Rate is highly dependant on the processor.

will let you know with these settings. By extended, I meant letting it run for a long time.

It will run as long as you like. I usually find a few passes enough, but it won't hurt to do it as long as you like. Keep in mind that there will always be anomalies sooner or later that can throw an error. When you are done, press the escape key.
