Question MSI GD55 Mem Issues
Hi Guys,

Does anyone on the P67 MSI boards have problems with memory timings?

No matter what setting I choose, what speed or voltage, I can't choose my own timings. I've tried 4 different sets of memory, loaded the OC BIOS .171 & latest .181 but to no avail. If I change just one tiny setting from auto (bios reports cas 8 is auto) to cas 9 the board won't boot. It'll power up and nothing happens. I have to reset the CMOS to get back to normal. My timings are holding me back but if I can't change them from auto.. Well what you going to do? Lol.

I spent days trying to get my G.Skill ripjaws to run at 1600. No matter what I try I get boot failure on cold-boot. I ordered the Asrock Extreme4 to replace my GD55. What a disappointment

Have you tried raising your tras? I found that on 2 different types of ram that would get the system to boot..

Still doesn't help that much with performance.. but it helps with something.. I really think it has to do with the modules on this board...

I am going to give the gb ud7 board a run to see what I can get out of her...

Try T2 first. Luckily sandys got a big cache so it hides most of the rams latencys
