Im trying to use OCZ Platinum 1066 memory with my evga 680i A1. Q6600 proc, no oc.

Just spend a good 2 hours with ocz support, and could not find a way to get the memory to run correctly. I bought 2 sets of 2gx2, and so far, only got a successful boot off of one stick, and the bios set a strange setting of 5 7 7 20 at 64bit. Then another time, it booted off one stick again, at 1067 mhz, at 2.25v, at 5 5 5 18 128 bit, but it freezes on restart at bios.

Anyway, if anyone has had success with this memory, please post your settings. All my sticks passed memtest, but either the bios would freeze at a checksum error, or just knock it down to 800mhz and bsod with 7e or c4. I have tried between 2.0 and 2.5 volts also, with the recommended timings of 5 5 5 18.

Any help is appreciated. I have tried all dimms in all slots, and it just seems random when I can actually get a good boot. Sometimes also, it will reboot, give a bios checksum error, then say drive a is missing, then say keyboard not found, then restart again, but clock the memory back down to 800 with strange settings of like 5 5 7 20. And as far as my motherboards error codes, it has put out a 0d, but that just says reserved in my manual.

Whoa. 2.25v can kill the ram. 680i has a tendency to overvolt memory. These guys can help:
