POST, but simply because one
could lose memory channels.
That is, even if you have four
sticks of memory installed,
POSTING 3400MHz would
work, but only with two or
sometimes three of
the channels showing up for a
total of 8 or 12GiB of memory.
This was an issue that I never
managed to figure out, but I was
informed that there is a way
around this which would require
tuning of very specific settings.
I was never able to find out the
details to this, but I do believe it
possible as I have seen plenty
of screenshots which depict
as much. In fact, it is in the very
guide which one speaks of where
frequencies north of 3,400MHz
are shown. So once again it is
possible, it is just a matter of
how simple it is to do so.
That should not be a major
issue for most people especially
as I have found that memory
frequencies at 3,000 to
3,2000MHz seem to be the
sweet spot for this motherboard
and others in fact. It is here
where you can maximize

memory timings and frequency
along with the UNCORE. The
perfect harmony is in this range
where the memory bandwidth
figures are high and the latency
low. Higher than that seems to
cause a loss in some efficiency
and lower lacks the raw
memory bandwidth
to match. Thus I don’t think
one should be too concerned
with this, especially from a
performance perspective.
Ultimately, using the CPU I had
