wags317 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 any of you guys have good luck with the corsair twinx1027-3200ll pro in an epox 8rda(lastest bios )because I just bought some new corsair Twinx1024 3200ll. I had my rig oc to a fsb184(Ran Mem in sync with fsb) and it was stable as far as I could tell. It could run prime95 for hours and it was cool. now all of a sudden I can't even run prime for a 1min because it fails.. the killer is it will even fail,under a 1min, when I set it back to stock fsb 166 and even set the mem timmings to 6-3-2-2. any thoughts? as to why it won't even stay stable at 166? so to see if it was really the ram I put back in my 2 sticks of corsair xms DDR2700(that twinx was going to replace) back in and so far prime is running fine. so does this sound like an incompatibility or is the ram bad? P.s I even tried to increase my vdim volt to 2.77 still had no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wags317 Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 I tested each stick and I found one of the sticks was failing memtester86 with 1 error on test 4 and 11 on test 6, then when I tested the other stick it ran throught 2 complete passes of memtester86 and ran prime for 2 hours.. so I think I had a bad stick.. I'm RMAing it back to newegg.com now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 22, 2003 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 22, 2003 Can you tell us the CPU speed you have and the Bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wags317 Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 It's epox 8rda, Cpu Athlon Xp 2600+ fsb 166, ram timmings 6-3-2-2. after I posted last time. I ran memtester86 on each stick(having only one stick in bank 0, I used the same bank when I tested the other stick) and one stick fails on test 4 with 1 error and again on test 6 with 11 errors, when I tested the other stick it ran 2 complete passes total time of 48mins with no errors and the good stick was able to run prime95 or 2 hours. so that is what I discovered.. also for my tested I ran the same settings it was failing on too I didn't change anything. fsb 166 & timmings 6-3-2-2.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 22, 2003 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 22, 2003 And you have the memory Freq set to 100% correct? if not please set it to 100% or 1-1 and see if that helps.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 22, 2003 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 22, 2003 Please set it to 100% or make sure its not running the memory at DDR400. If it reads it by SPD it will run it out of sync and may show this error and not be the memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wags317 Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 No it's wasn't running at DDR 400 is was running at ddr333 from what you said my auto is what your talking about with 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 23, 2003 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 23, 2003 Well I gave the link to submit the RMA previously but I would suggest if possible that you test the memory modules one at a time and or on another MB as that might help to find the problem.
