Thank you all..
I've ordered some RAM Corsai Dominator GT 1866.
Yeah Hweed, I was freaking out on the vtt part.

okay..
how should i set up my rig with these new rams.. keep it 1610 l,lower vdimm ajd tighten timing

okay..
how should i set up my rig with these new rams.. keep it 1610 l,lower vdimm ajd tighten timing

First, how much lower is the V? Just subtract the diff in the specs from your present DIMM V setting. For instance, if your old RAM was 1.65V and the new is 1.6, and you had set 1.77V, set it to 1.72V. That way, if your mobo is undervolting your RAM just a little, you will be properly compensating for it.
 
Then with your old RAM installed, set the known latencies of your new RAM in BIOS, tRFC set "auto," and command rate either "auto" or 2t; set the V, and "save." Wait for the first BIOS screen again - at that point it doesn't matter if the RAM settings caused a prob - immediately turn off the computer (at first BIOS screen) and change your RAM. Then go back into BIOS and confirm the BIOS didn't revert to defaults, boot to Windows and read the highest MHz latency ratings in W/Everest (AIDA64 or CPU tweaker) and plug in tRFC and command rate. Test the first night with Memtest boot CD overnight, or 8 hrs.
 
Then if the new RAM doesn't work well that way, try setting the BIOS to the exact DIMM V setting that Everest reported. You can always try this latter way later even if the previous V setting way works, it will tell you more about exactly what's prob going on with your mobo DIMM V. In each cases, also run at least LinX (or IBT) 50 passes (PS 25K, 25 passes for 36K), and you should also run P95 blend 8hrs min, 24hrs preferred. Just like any other final OC procedure.
 
If this doesn't work at your full OC, then you will need to revert back to stock CPU, set the RAM V and latency settings, set to 2:14, and run the tests that way; then start your OC fresh! At least you will have a very good idea what your settings need to be like this time, and you will be able to take larger Bclock jumps. The diff would probably be just VTT. At the point after you certified your RAM as good at no CPU OC, you could try your full OC again, this time with added VTT - assuming the previous paragraphs did not work at your full OC speed. GL.

Well, with 1866 memory, you MAY be stuck with your 1610 frequency. With the bclk you are using, you can only go 8X on your mrmory. You COULD try 10X, which will bring it over 2000, but no promises on those sticks. To be honest, you won'r really see any difference between 1610 and 1866 anyhow. I would say just run it @1610 and try lower timings.Then again, not much difference other than memory benchmarks. As far as "starting your whole overclock from scratch"?

well guys this what i did.
i resetted cmos wth old ram..
let windows fully boot
turned off pc.
took out old ram replaced it with new ram
let windows boot completely i set pretty much every to how it was at my 4.2 oc with my oveclock except vtt and vdimm
vdimm is at 1.65 vtt is at 100
i can pass linx with 25k problem size ive lowered vcore to 1.26x the one right above 1.25 temps were topping at 75c

Meh, this makes me want to go under water sooner than I plan. My CPU is begging for more speed, but I'm pretty capped thermally with my Megahalems.

I say do it..
It does lengthen the time of the chip, instead of going SB or what ever.
I think I can stick to a 4.3 overclock now so I can utilize this ram's higher speeds and keep it at 2:8.
 
Anyways.
About Vdimm, when my old ram needed more vdimm than mfg. spec, does it roll over to these new RAM?
I would hate if I did, cause that would be a motherboard problem, *needing more than 1.65 for my G Skill RAM and if I need more vdimm for these "NEW" Corsair ram.
 
Would you guys RMA the board cause of the compensation of the vdimm voltages not going to 1.65 or should I just live with it and adjust accordingly?

If your RAM was 1.65V spec, and you needed 1.77V, that's only a 6.8% difference. That's not enough to warrant a RMA.

Keep pushing it until you physically can't anymore, imo.
 
If it can go higher? THEN GO HIGHER!

Haha..
Word man..
I can boot with 4.5 and run linx a few runs but I highly doubt I'm stable with the settings!!

I've lowered my vcore to 1.25 for 4.2, how would I go about getting higher gflops
Do you think that is any good?
I've done a 4.3 submission to the club!!

I don't think you will get any better Gflops than 54.x. It is right on par for the max near your OC, W/920.

Can you please post your voltages. I'm curious because my chip seems to be rather funky, it's been at 4.2 for about 3 years and never blue screened except in linx
