GDL Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 For several reasons need to swap out the existing GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard. Under consideration is the Intel DX58SO. Current memory is CMG6GX3M3A1866C7 The primary question is will this be ok in the new mobo? The second question is what would be the best memory settings for performance? The processor is an i7 950 Running Linux with a bespoke application Thanks G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDL Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Initial tests will not allow the memory to run faster than 1066 Any thoughts on this would be appreciated Thanks G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Did the memory run at rated speed on the original motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 16, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 16, 2009 I am not sure the Intel MB will run the memory above DDR1600 but you will need to get the latest BIOS and then enable XMP Profile one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDL Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 OK we have done some testing and the memory runs fine in the Gigabyte motherboard. On the Intel board (with the latest bios) we cannot get anything higher that 1066. Profile 1 gives the option of 1866, but select it and everything stops. There's nothing to choose in between 1066 and 1866 Its a clear the CMOS and battery out job to get the MB to come back. I need some memory that will run faster than 1066 - even if I need to cust my losses with the existing sets. Any further suggestions please.
