poo417 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi All I have the followign mb Abit AN8 with a 3500+ 64 and Corsair (TWINX1024-3200C2PT) 1024MB (2 x 512) ram. I have looked around teh forums but am still unable to see what settings my ram should be at. What I have in my bios does not seem to be the same as some of teh other people posting. The bios has the following. CAS latency 3 row cycle time 11 row refresh cycle time 14 ras to cas delay 3 ras to ras delay 2 min ras active time 8 ras precharge time 6 write recovery time 2 write to read delay 2 read to write delay 4 What should these be set at and what do they mean. Aprt from the cas i have noidea what the others are. DDR voltage is 2.6. One other thing how can i tell that they are running in ddr mode. Sorry for the probably dumb questions, but i would rather ask than kill my system, playing about. My thanks in advance Poo :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 When your PC boots it'll say if it's running the memory in dual channel mode. There is no such thing as Dual Channel memory, as this is a property of the memory controller in how it handles memory. This is why you can place memory in different slot configurations on a motherboard and it will register as single or dual channel. CAS Latency (tCL): 2.5 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3 Row Precharge (tRP): 3 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6 Memory Voltage: 2.75 Volts All other settings to defaults.

poo417 Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 Thanks wired I don't have these Row Precharge (tRP): 3 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6 in my bios only the ones i have listed above i take one of them is the same as listed. If so which ones. I will also chage my voltage. What sort of fsb speed do you think i could expect to get with a slight oc. Poo :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 26, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 26, 2005 Your bios should look like this: X - DRAM Clock Auto X- CAS latency Time Auto (2.5) X- Row Cycle Time Auto X- Row Refresh Cycle Time Auto X- RAS# to CAS# delay Auto (3) X- RAS# to RAS# delay Auto X- Min RAS# Active time Auto (6) X- RAS# Precharge Time Auto (3) X- Write Recovery Time Auto X- Write to Read Delay Auto X- DRAM Command rate Auto X- Burst Length 4 beats X- Bank Interleaving Enabled 32 bit Dram Memory Hole Auto MTRR mapping mode Continuous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheron Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 i have a MSI k7n2 delta 2 platinum mobo,6570-e model,xp home sp2,xfx 6800 gt 256 mb graphics card,im running a gig of twinx 1024-3200c2(matched pair of cmx 3200c2pt) with an athlon xp 3200+ cpu and i cannot get this memory to run stable at 2.5-3-3-6 as stated for an AMD system ive got the latest mobo bios 11.4,but it keeps setting up at 3-3-3-8 but i keep getting the option to boot in either safe or start windows anyway screen,which it will then run but that cant be a good way tro run a computer,if i try to run at 2.5-3-3-6 i keep crashing to desktop,there are a lot of ways to adjust things in bios,manual,auto,spd,cell menu options for overclocking,etc..etc...I had this same problem with some "crucial" pc 4000 that their "memory finder" said would work in my system but at 3-4-4-8, same probs, and the mobo wanted to set it at 3-3-3-8 as well which like my current corsair memory would run,but not stabily and thats not what i paid for,I rma'd it.what i need is the"complete exact bios settings" u would recommend for getting my current memory(corsair) to run stable at spec speeds,whether it be manual,auto or by spd,recommended memory voltage, changing the fsb/multiplier if need be etc ..etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 CAS Latency (tCL): 2.5 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3 Row Precharge (tRP): 3 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6 Memory Voltage: 2.75 Volts All other settings to defaults. If you still have problems, I'd lean towards a BIOS problem. Try re-flashing it, if no go, RMA the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have the same problem with my Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT memory. My memory is set to 3-3-3-8 2T, seen on Everest home edition. I saw on the Corsair website that it must be 2-3-3-6 1T or on my system, got an AMD, it should be 2,5-3-3-6 1T. You can tell me how to set my memory on the recommend speeds? And how to do it?

RJLeong65 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 No problems running mine at CAS 2-3-3-6 1T @ DDR400 @ 2.75V. (Though the default is CAS 3-3-3-8 2T @ DDR400.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Read my previous post. So I have to set Cl at 2,5? And how do I change my voltage (where)? You can only set it in steps of 0.1 or something, what is the original voltage then? btw. I see on the Corsair site that the "'*" has been removed... It said 2,5-3-3-6 for AMD. So I can just set it to 2-3-3-6 1T right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 1, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yes, with any of the newer AMD 64 based systems they should run at cas 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yes, with any of the newer AMD 64 based systems they should run at cas 2. What do I have to think now? Memory timings are good? But I still see (3.0-3-3-8@200Mhz)... I did benchmarkprograms of Everest and they were much better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 1, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 1, 2005 All XMS3200C2 modules have their SPD set to JEDEC defined values for the specific IC we used to make that revison and part #. The tested settings would need to be manually set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ok ik played a game Call of duty UO and therefore i ran 3D mark 2005... When map was finished loading I got a bleu screen... 3D mark didn't worked probeply as well, after loadingscreen I had a black screen. Pc was hanging... What I have to do now??? Ik did the settings above. 2-3-3-6 1T Voltage is set to 2.75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 This are my BIOS settings now: Memlock index value (Mhz) 400Mhz CAS Latency=2 Tras=6T Trcd=3T Trp=3T Trc=11T Trfc=13T Trwt=5T Twr=3T 1T/2T memory timing=1T S/W Dram Over 4G Remapping=Enabled H/W DRAm Over 4G Remapping=Enabled So with these settings Call of duty Uo gave a bleu screen and 3D mark 2005 gave a black screen after loading (pc hangs)...

Viggen Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Changed the CAS latency to 2,5. Call of duty UO works and 3D mark 2005 also :): But shouldn't it work on 2-3-3-6 1T:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 So i'm getting a bleu screen with latency: 2-3-3-6 1T. But when I set it to 2,5-3-3-6 1T ist works fine... So why it won't work on 2-3-3-6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurushio Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi I have a GA-7N400 Pro 2 with AMD Athlon XP3200+ 400FSB 512 Cache Barton CPU & Corsair (TWINX1024-3200C2PT) 1024MB (2 x 512MB Matched Pair), DDR400 / PC3200, non-ECC,Unbuffered, CL2 RAM. I purchased another 1 Gb of exactly the same RAM but it is not being recognised. I have checked that the new RAM is working perfectly ( which it is ). My BIOS is up to date. I am a novice with regard to PC's Can anyone help me please ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 2, 2006 You cannot mix memory with most MB's; and with this MB you can only use 3 double sided modules or 4 single sided modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Corsiar memory that I have single or double sided ? Sorry for asking but I don't have a clue :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 2, 2006 At this time all of our 512 Meg modules and larger would be double sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have only 3 modules on the MB and it's working fine now. Thanks for all your help & advice. :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cremator Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I have my 3200C2 2x512's manually set to 2-3-3-6 and the voltage is set to auto, and it seems to be running fine, but where would I find the 1t & 2t settings, or what would it be called in the bios? Or should I just leave that setting default? Also I am thinking of adding another pair of the same memory. I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI NF4 board. Can this use all 4 dimms with the 3200C2 512's, or 8 banks of memory, or am I stuck with only using 3 dimms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
