Ah yes I just about that, unfortunately I only have those DDR3 sticks. I was so busy, I never got around to reading the memory tests in Clunk's review of the UT X48-T3RS. Sorry Clunk!

I guess my best option is to pick up a compatible pair.

So I put in a support request to DFI and I received a super quick response stating that they will send me the updated BIOS. DFI's customer service is top-notch!

Hi DamageX, did you have these OCZ Reaper 10666 2gb x 2 sticks in your Blackops? I have, them in mine; I'd be keen to know what settings you used on the blackops.

Thanks!

Hi Jolliffee, I do have these in the Black Ops board. I'm currently running them at 6-6-6-18 at 1.725 volts. So far I haven't had a problem with these in the Black Ops. I'm just running tests to see how the board performs at stock. Please let me know if those are the answers you were looking for!

I added descriptions to the voltage menu pictures and have just finished editing the memory timings! I also took some comparison photos of the boards which will be posted soon!

I also received a bandwidth warning from my website host...

I can host them for you if its causing you problems.

Email the pics to me...me @ here .org.uk

Thanks; I've been having a problem with a Blackops board failing at stock settings, and was just looking to see if I'd missed anything. The mobo is good at picking up the RAM timings (G25 BIOS) but not the voltage, I've got my set to 1.85 just because that is what it said on the stick?

Anyway I'm sending one of my Blackops boards back since it is failing, this shows up always on the same Qx9770 cores, with Prime95 (and all the other test programs - thanks clunk for the list on the forum).

My other Blackops is goping well, and soon start trying to get a stable OC, after a BIOS update to let our Oz run full rate.
