dobbar Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Returned the first pair I had as they were genuinley faulty so I couldn't believe it when I started getting problems with the second set. (random blue screens and the like) Tested them individually and they're fine (in both slots) What I'm asking for is if anyone else runs a similar setup successfully. I'm guessing the motherboad for whatever reason simply can't run 4GB with these dimms ? Just looked on the memory configurator page and it lists the C5DF modules as being compatible but not the C5D, does anybody know the difference ? Thanks in advance.

Wired Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 F = FAN, no other difference. What voltage are you running them at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbar Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Running them at rated voltage (2.1v / 1066), even so, I've run them at 1.8v 800mhz and the problem remains. I just wanted to know whether or not anyone else runs this configuration successfully. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I would first try obvious things... trying the other 2 slots, setting timings on module manually instead of auto or maybe ganged vs unganged mode. Get CPU-Z and confirm their running dual channel mode. Are they in the correct slots for a pair per the manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbar Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 There are only 2 slots on the board, I've already tried standard (jedec) timings and also set them manually, as I said previously both dimms on there own in either slot are fine. The only thing I haven't tried is not running them in dual channel mode. I take it from the memory configurator that the modules are compatible with this board and worked in dual channel mode when tested ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manick Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just curious... what operating system are you currently running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 29, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 29, 2009 You may get a better response on Gigabyte's forum to your question, most people here will leave once they get an answer. However I am sure there are many who have that MB or some varriant of it running these modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely check the motherboard's manufacturer's website but most importantly technical review sites such as Tom's Hardware, PC Perspective, etc. You'll find a great forum on motherboards.org.

dobbar Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I currently run xp 32bit most of the time and windows 7 / xp64 the rest. I'll try some of the gigabyte forums, but if there is a motherboard guaranteed to work well with these modules the I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for your help.

dobbar Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Just thought I'd follow up with some good news. Flashed bios with latest for my board and hey presto - no more memory problems ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
