i am not sure if you always have to set the ram timings in any board, or if some of them auto-detect, but this one does not - you have to set it manually.bios is easy to understand.

not sure if this is the ram's fault or the mobo's, but it's necessary to install 1 stick, set the ram voltage manually (2.1v), and then install the other sticks.

you will simply need to change the multiplier manually or change the qpi bus speed to 166mhz.it is simply that the anufacturer chose to set base intel specs, not some fault with the motherboard.btw..
