  1. “Also the ram is reporting in at Single Channel however it is set at dual channel in the bios.”

    lol, fail much? So the memory isnt stable enough to post bios in dual channel even.

    • A couple of problems with the test.

      1. You are not testing the CPU and motherboard. You are testing the *RAM*. Allowing the CPU to overclock in this test when trying to “push” the RAM is retarded. Come on get with it already. It’s no wonder you didn’t reach rated on the RAM.

      2. I say that you probably hit an FSB limit. Not the limit of the RAM.
