CorsairFred Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I have a pair of Corsair XMS2 DDR667 modules (CM2X1024-5400C4, XMS5402v6.3, 0617053-4, 1024MB, 675MHz, 4.4.4.12) and I can't get them to work on my Asus P5N E SLI. If I use only the first module, it works perfectly in every of the four slots! Memtest doesn't report any errors. However if I try the second module, the computer does not even show the BIOS screen. The fans move and the hard disks spin up, but after a few seconds I get a very annoying beep that does not end. I tried to put the second module in all available ram slots - without success. I get the same symptoms if I put both modules in the slots (tried every possible combination at least twice). After a BIOS update to the latest version and some tweaks (memory timings, LDT factor) the seconds module still refuses to run. Then I tried the module in a completely different PC, and it did not boot either. Just a blank screen, nothing more. Tried another slot, still no luck. After that I tried the module again in all four slots in my own PC, still doesn't work. No BIOS screen - just that annoying, neverending beep. Then I tried the first module. It still works flawlessly. I'm out of ideas. What shall I do? Is there a BIOS option or some other secret I do not know? Do I RMA both modules, or only the one that does not work? If I RMA only one, will I be able to use the RMA'd one with the working one in DualChannel? If I RMA both, shall I mark the one I consider defect? Thanks in advance!

CorsairFred Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 The replacement arrived today. Finally no more annoying beeps :) I have a question though: when I set the memory voltage to auto, I get a memtest error. When I set to 2.0V, everything is fine (three memtest passes without errors). I would just like to know if this is normal (the RAM is specified as 1.9V isn't it?). Thanks for all your help, RAM GUY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 21, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yes but with some MB's a bit more Voltage is needed and 2.0-2.1 Volts would be suggested with that MB you have listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
