antonka Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hello, Yesterday I bought this memory modules Corsair DDR 3 1600C7DHXIN G x 2=4 GB. I was ordering XMP memory here in Germany but when I log into BIOS XMP is disabled. Please advice if this memory really supports XMP? What are the settings to be able to run it at 1600 Mhz? Thanks!

Wired Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets/TWIN3X2048-1600C7DHXIN.pdf http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets/TWIN3X4096-1600C7DHXIN.pdf The IN means that it supports Intel Extreme Memory Profiles. The timings / voltage are also on that spec sheet. Do you have 2 sticks, or 4 sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi, Yes it is also written on the box. 2 sticks. XMP but when I go into BIOS ASUS P5E3 Deluxe Wifi - XMP shows as disabled! I wonder why? Could you write me how to set BIOS for my MB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 18, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 18, 2008 It will be disabled by default you would need to enable it or set the timings and Voltage manually. You can check the system with CPU-Z and see if the XMP Profile is listed in the modules SPD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi, How to enable it? In BIOS I do not have this option. I have option to choose AI tweaker as AUTO, MANUAL or XMP. But when I choose XMP it shows in grey text: XMP disabled!:eek: I checked CPUZ. In SPD nowhere is XMP to be found! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Please post a screenshot of CPU-z and SPD tabs with the two sticks. What BIOS version are you employing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 19, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 19, 2008 If you are using more than two modules or more than one set XMP will not be suggested and the memory would need to be set manually to the next speed grade down.

antonka Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sorry. my mistake. I use 2 sticks of course. BIOS is latest version 1203. How to enable XMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Antonka, have you checked your motherboard's manual on how to enable XMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi, Yes I cheked. See attached manual. In BIOS when I choose XMP it shoul be choosable between 2 profiles. Actually I had before Corsair 1800 XMP modules and it worked but not with this memory. Where is the problem? Is the memory defect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 19, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 19, 2008 Please run CPU-Z the latest version and post a screen shot of the SPD tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Just did. Again when I choose AI XMP in BIOS I see gray text:"XMP is disabled" Would appreciate any advice. ASUS guys also give me no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonka Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi, On the package that is written: 08170263 TWIN3X4096-1600C7DHXIN G Is that wrong memory?? Can I replace it via K&M shop in Hamburg where I bought it? How long time it takes for replace via RMA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 19, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 19, 2008 The SPD's are not programmed properly if that is the part number and you will have to ask the reseller if they will help you but it may be faster to send them directly unless they will swap them for you.

antonka Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just got 2 replacement modules but have still the same problem. Please look at attached pics. What is wrong with this memory?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 It looks like it is general problem with this memory sticks!

Yellowbeard Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If you have 2 consecutive kits with the same problem, it is not likely the memory. Can you list ALL of the information from the stickers on each module. Or, a pic of each module clearly showing the sticker would be helpful.

antonka Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have 1 kit with 2 modules. I was adviced by RAM Guy to exchange my initial 2 modules. I went to local reseller and got today 2 new sticks. But the problem remains. Again I HAVE ONLY 2 STICKS x 2 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the problem remains. Again I HAVE ONLY 2 STICKS x 2 GB No one said you have more than two sticks. If you read what SpecMike said, you would see he was talking about two separate events with two kits. If you have 2 consecutive kits with the same problem, it is not likely the memory. Clearly he is talking about your first set and your new set and not two sets installed in your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Derekt As you might remember before I had DDR3 1800 2 x 1 GB and XMP profile was choosable in BIOS. Here is that thread we discussed: http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=69969&page=2 But when I get DDR 3 1600 2 x 2 GB XMP became desabled. What is that I can do to check where is the problem? I have already switched 1600 memory sticks from orange to black adapters - no change. I am attaching the pics of my memory modules: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 25, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 25, 2008 Please post a screen shot of the SPD tab of both modules. And please stay in this thread do not post on other threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Ramguy, Here are the pics of both SPDs. OK I will not post in other threads but the guy had exactly the same problem as myself and SPDs where also identical to what I have. Here was that thread again http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=69750 Is it incompatibility of this sticks with ASUS P5E3 Deluxe? Thanks for all help in advance!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 25, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 25, 2008 They sent you the non Intel part, does it say IN after the part number? If so then please call our customer service and I am sure they get that taken care of for you at our expense if we just replaced them. 888-222-4346 or 510-657-8747 Ext "0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonka Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes it there is IN at the end on the sticks. It was also in the first case.CM3X2048-1600C7 DHXIN. Should it be Intel part by this number? Where do I get support in Germany? I am in Hamburg and we have huge time difference with US. Thanks for help again.
