here is my steamy dump mass, has both my chrome and project X ram spd profile dumps. both are hyper, both are black pcb.

Chrome is 2000 8-8-8 project-x is 2000 7-7-7 if that helps.

Cant seem to get Taiphoon to start up here :-/

[Splave]

lol like you are busy? or program problem? I flashed a set to dominator GT 2000 7-8-7 and it still sucks unless b2b is 12+

[Massman]

Program problem. I think it's because I'm using a Clarkdale CPU and the Thaiphoon doesn't recognise it. I'll unplug my system and throw on the xpower + 980X. Then we're benchrig-buddies ...

 

(-sigh- I have serious mental issues)

[Splave]

really do appreciate it massman

Looks like the SS bios helped nicely :-)

 

where can one get this SS bios lol

[Splave]

anything?

[Massman]

The SS bios was a joke. Chew* didn't even get any help from me.

 

He did, however, send me this SPD dump of his Corsair Dominator GTs (Hyper), so maybe that might help: link

For shits and giggles I reran my same settings in 64 bit win 7.

 

I used regular GT 2000 7-8-7 for all my 32m runs sort of at massmans request but also because he had already tested GTX2 I figured i'd make sure compatibilty was ok on a set he does not have at his disposal.

 

I am not going to say it's simple but with the right amount of finesse the board can clock ram decent while maintaining a high CPU clock.

 

One thing I would like to note although maybe it was just a 1 time deal, very ginger mount pressure is something I would reccomend you try if you have this board and are having some issues.
