kats Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hi all I've some problems with my ram... Some crashes, returns to windows, etc.. I use for this config: ASUS P4P800-e Deluxe Corsair Dual Channel TwinX XMS 2x512 PC3200 XL P4C 3,2Ghz I've made some tests with Memtest, and i had approximatively 300 errors in 5 min.. So I set the DDR Voltage to 2.75V in the bios and memtest gave me 1 or 2 errors in 30 mins... :sigh!: But I would like NO errors... Which settings should I use? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 8, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 8, 2004 I would make sure that you have the latest bios and then set the Dim Voltage to 2.85 Volts! In addition when running http://www.memtest.org you will need to disable legacy USB as well. If you continue to have problems I would try setting the timings manually to Cass 2-3-2-6 as well!

kats Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 Thank you for your advises I set the voltage to 2.85 as you said. Memtest86 has made 6 pass without error... Does it mean that my system is stable? How many pass must I make to be sure? Some people said to me that I should use RMA if memtest made some errors, even only 1 time... I don't know what to think... :confused: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 9, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well no that is not correct, Memtest will show if the data that it is transmitting back and forth is intact, the type of error and or which test will sometimes help to show what part of the system is failing, not only the memory! Usually if you have a failing module it will fail with in the first 2-3 passes of memtest. If there is some other problem it may take a lot longer for errors to show up! So the way to look at this would be what test do you get errors one and at what pass and at what memory range, all of those things can help to tell if it's the CPU or maybe the chipset or memory that are failing! But there is not a specific failure that will tell all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
