Thanks for the link, it was interesting. However, the whole reason for
SPD EEPROM is to tell the memory controller the correct timings and one
should expect the memory controller using those timings and work correcly.
BIOS settings should be used to "overclock" your memory, not to slow it
down...
There still is something (the memory controller inside the CPU or the
memory itself) that is not following the specifications. I don't know
which one it is but I'm beginning to fear it could be the CPU...
Bye!
