In particular, try adding some cycles to CAS Latency. I've had a couple of systems with ECC RAM that had excessive ECC errors with the default RAM timing that got much better when I increased CAS Latency. You might also want to try rigging an extra fan to blow on the RAM and/or chipset.Received on Tue Sep 16 2014 - 20:44:48 UTC
