Cant get 1066MHZ 8500C5D & P5N32-E SLI

Recommended Posts

I have a P5N32-E SLI Motherboard and Dominator twin2x2048-8500c5d and the fastest stable speed i can get is 934Mhz. Do you know the correct BIOS settings for this combo to get a stable 1066Mhz?

 

I have tried SLI ready memory at 0%OC set memory voltage for 2.2V and set memory to 5-5-5-15 2T. And disabled Legacy USB. And even tried bumping NB voltage to 1.5V. But can only get it stable at 934Mhz. testing with memtest86. Anything over 934Mhz gives many errors.

 

Thanks for the help RamGuy!

 

PS. My other components are intel qx6850 processor, dual EVGA 8800GTX and Audigy 2 Pro Sound card. Also Bios for mother board is latest one.

Test the modules one at a time, if they both fail at less than 1066MHz when tested individually then there is something else holding you back. If one of them hits 1066MHz, and the other one stops at 934Mhz then we need to get them both replaced.
