I have a Foxconn X38A motherboard and I finally figured out that my memtest86 and prime95 errors were due to not having the TWR, TRFC, TWTR, TRRD, and TRTP timings set high enough. They were set at 3-64-3-2-3 and I changed them to 4-64-4-3-4 (4-4-4-12 memory). Since then memtest86 and prime95 work perfectly. Does anyone have an explanation of exactly what these timings mean, and where you can find the timings settings for your RAM (I have Geil DDR2 800 RAM). I was also wondering how much these timings affect performance/stability. Any comments are welcome.

I think you are completely right. The sad thing is they do so many updates on it. I have updated to like 5 different versions. Odd thing is, the versions never seem to change or help anything.

Anyone ever use Fox One? It's an overclocking application and I wanted to know what you guys thought of it. Personally I do not like it. On my Foxconn X38A, if you set the CPU voltage in the BIOS, the Fox One program will list say, - 0.0500 for the voltage setting. This is very confusing and setting it to "0" will actually change the voltage dramatically.
