Asus p5b and 1111 mhz mewmory

[TL0000]

Hi

 

Has anyone been able to get 8 gigs of 1111mhz memory to run on a Asus p5b motherboard.

 

8 gigs running and tested on memtest 86 for min 6 passes ??????

 

Thank You

 

Please say if have also been unable to go at 1066 mhz also ?????

The only memory Corsair supports in a four DRAM slot population is their Quad kits. This does not mean two dual kits or even worse two dual kits of different versions will not work together, just that you have no recourse to RMA Corsair if they do not work together. If there are problems with the DRAM modules, they are still supported via lifetime warranty, but that is for physical defects and errors in a two stick kit mode. Matched Quad sets are highly binned modules for a four slot population. The Dual sets are tested as a kit, not a Quad and warranted as a dual kit, not a Quad setup. You need to Memtest them as Kits (2 modules, not as a four DRAM slot population). If they fail as a kit or singly, then you have RMA. Keep in mind that there is no support for mixing and matching different versions of DRAM either since different version are of different fabrications and/or manufacturers. They might work, they might not work, but you have no support if they do not work. Thus you are advised to buy all the DRAM at the same time and in this way be more assured of getting the same versions. If you buy online, be sure to specify same versions of the modules and do not expect even then that they will work and again, no support unless you purchase a quad kit.

 

For a four DRAM slot population of 1066Mhz DRAM you are advised to drop the bandwidth to 800Mhz and raise the NB Voltage +.2v. You can then attempt to recoup some lost bandwidth via the CPU <--> MCH <--> DRAM overclock.

There is a limitation of the On Motherboard (Intel) memory controller or On CPU (AMD) and a population of all four banks at the full speed of a two bank run. This limitation is across the board with both AMD and Intel chipset based boards, DDR, DDR2 and DDR3.

 

Keep in mind that often issues can arise in the longer term even though you have shorter term stability. The issues seldom damage the DRAM unless you raise the DRAM voltage too high. They damage the on CPU (AMD) memory controller which has a harder time keeping up with the demands of a four DRAM slot population being run as fast as a two DRAM slot population.

Set to these values:

Yes that is exactly why asking this question as corsair has memory according to memory configurator that will run at 1111 mhz in this MB on/in memory configurator.

 

But since the MB is only stated to run at 800 mhz anything above that is overclocking. Was thinking that is a very good overclock and know from experience that not all memory will run at the speed they quote ????

I understand your question, and from experience as read above, you will very likely not be able to make such speeds with a four DRAM slot population and there is no support if you do not.

THANKS FOR REPLY S

 

 

Anyone else opinion or results ??????

Our memory finder suggests a 2 x 1GB kit for this board at 1111mhz. Due to the limits of this memory controller, you will not likely get 4 modules much if any above DDR800.
