I've just upgraded my RAM to G.Skill 3x2GB (1600mhz) DDR3 and i noticed a new option has appeared in the BIOS. This option is the 'Extreme Memory Profile' which presets RAM speed to 1600mhz and changes uncore to 3200mhz. Unfortunately when i choose this option my PC does not boot up. To use the Extreme Memory Profile do i need an extreme processor (Core i7 965) ?? I'm using a Core i7 940 currently. I'm guessing my other option would be to overclock my 940?

Also, does anyone know why the Eclipse hates DRAM ratio 5 and uncore ratio 10? I always get BSODs if i use anything other than DRAM ratio 4 and uncore 8. Why is this? Immature BIOS? (I'm using BIOS 1.4B5)
 
Thanks for the info, Mechsner. So it would seem as though the memory makers have jumped the gun. When they saw that most Core 2 Quad's ran at 1333mhz or 1600mhz (Core 2 Extreme) they must have assumed Intel would carry on the trend with the Core i7's. But Intel dropped the frequency to 1066mhz. Oh well, at least our RAM is future proof. Perhaps Intel will give their new 6 Core 32nm CPU's higher frequencies when they are released next year.
 
Raven Im not trying to highjack your post but I thought this was kinda crazy.....
Mechsner.........I have the exact same system as you ........
I got to looking at your specs and I have same cpu, cpu cooler, ram, gpu, mb........wow Well atleast all I have to do is look at your specs and I know that I should be able to pull of a 4GH over clock..
