I have an a8N-SLI Premium, OCZ 3200 plat.
timmings at cas3 1T (1T boosts benchmark from 5.8mb/sec to 6.8mb/sec), cant remember other timmings & at work now :( Let you know later if you want.
At 3v with 80mm fan over RAM sticks very important as get v-hot else.

Please do... I've tried numerous numbers to get it to run at 1T, but it just won't have it even at those slack timings I've mentioned above. :( It's pretty annoying.

Tooke me ages get best timmings at 250/1T as kept having reset BIOS due to RAM instability, lol.
I'd deffo think about sticking a fan over the RAM sticks blowing down, running 3200 @ 250 >2.9volts.
If you have different RAM than me then my timmings may not work but just change the figures a bit.

Thanks juno_first... will have to test those timings out at 1T, how did you mount a fan to blow over the RAM sticks... am using G.Skill ZX. :)

My cooling, use cable ties etc., crude but effective.



All the fans run on 7v and there are 2x 120mm side case fans too as the graphics cards need an exhaust. :eek:

Can't quite see how you've done that on your photo over the RAM sticks... you mounted 2 large case fans for the graphics card, is that to replace the stock coolers?

Wrapped a cable tie around the fan & tied up on the power lead to the right.
1x 120mm fan blowing in over cpu & 120mm fan blowing out over graphics cards.
Stock fans still active on graphics cards but no need spin up anymore :), on variable resister as turn up when play extended 3D, 90mm on top card / 80mm on bottom card but top card still runs 15c hotter.
