I'm at 8-8-8-24 1T instead of 7-8-8-26 1T
AND I changed tRFC 90ns to 110ns and tRC 27 to 32 (because I read tRC is ideally tRAS+ tRP)
It seems 1624 is stable at stock voltage ! I'm only at 30min prime blend but in general errors were before 5 mins

thats not the issue PSC and old AMD IMC's don't play together

In fact I think this is just an IMC wall, C2's had a lot of trouble with all ram, not just PSC. I know it was hard to run much over 1600.
C3's will do 1800 like cake on 890FX/GX, 1750 like cake on 790FX.

Changing tRFC like teribilis just did also gives slightly more IMC headroom.

I am so offended of the many disadvantages of c2 :( 8-8-8-24 1T is not stable as well..

At least I might feel lucky being able to get a 3.9Ghz/1.5V oc with a c2

1800 was cake on all the C2's i ever clocked on 790GX/FX you have seen my threads Trfc is also impossible to change on Asus boards per Asus
