apparently the evga 680i had to be bios flashed in order to accept mushkin redline pc2-8000 memory, but in the process the timings were reset to digusting 6-5-5-15 from 4-5-4-11

question: would i be able to reset them back to 4-5-4-11 from bios? whenever i do the computer goes beep and doesnt turn on... suggestions?

I would ask that question on the evga forum.

overclocked? You should always be able to run you "spec" speed....

also, maybe you need to supply the ram with the proper voltage

Thank you guys,

Yeah, it appears that the voltage was the culprit. I'm very new, BNIB new, when it comes to things like this.. but I'll learn:)

P.S. - Yes, the defaults on the ram were 4-5-4-11, running them now @ 2.1V. I'll try to OC the ram a bit once I figure out what is what... and wtf is 1T and 2T:razz:

Command rate. 1T is faster than 2T. Obviously, it's harder to run 1T than 2T as well, so you may experience some issue with 1T.
