    Best z68 setup

    I don't know all answers, but regarding the controller, you still have the 'standard' controller and this board features 2 extra Sata ports that are on a marvel controller. I don't know where you checked for drivers, but I can find drivers for the Marvel controller on the gigabyte website...

    As my previous issue was solved nicely I'd give my other issue a go. Here is my setup: Core i7 2600K + Scythe Mugen3 GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 Corsair TX750M MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5 OCZ 120gb Agility3 X-fi Titanium Windows 7 professional When I check CPU-Z and Aida64, my motherboard seems to...

    Memory won't run @1600.

    For now it sems like 'overvoltaging' the memory (including all other memory voltages like channel voltages from 0.750 to 0.755) solved my problem. Now I'm going to lower all settings gradually to have the lowest stabel values.

    Was already thinking that would be the case. But I do assume that setting the XMP profile in Biuos is not considered risky and such right. Because that is what the store told me. Well you overclock the memory to 1600 so you can expect instability. Imo that is nonsense as the RAM is sold as being...

    No haven't tries that yet. I was kinda reluctant to overvoltage the memory. To which maximum voltage can I safely try it when it will still not be stable at 1.55?

    I know this question has been asked before and I tried to post in the thread but it was locked. Besides that my specs are somewhat different so I thought I'd just give it a go: I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145347 this memory which I run in the following...
