brandondiep Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 So I bought two of these around mid december, both were working fine with a MSI 785 gtm-e45 and a phenom x4 9850 till yesterday when i booted pc and only fans turned on and no beeps or video. So i tried each ram stick alone, and found out that one of them were faulty ( 3 long beeps on boot). I tried it on both slots and the same results ( 3 long beeps). Now I'm running 2gbs which is not enough for gaming etc.. I was wondering if the RMA will return me the same kind of ram or should i send both back and how long would this all take ( Lives in toronto, ontario canada.

brandondiep Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Also the ram stick that is still working will blue screen of death when the voltages are set at 1.8 which is supposed to work right? Well in bios its running at 1.85 with out bsod, but in speedfan its reading 2.26?? I am kinda confused. And in the system health check, dram voltage are not there.. the mobo is a msi 785 E45. Been having alot of problems with this board ( auto set vcore so high the board blew up ) now it might caused one of my ram sticks to blow.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 17, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 17, 2011 When you get the MB replaced then install just one module and load setup defaults and set the memory Voltage to 1.9 Volts then test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org.

brandondiep Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Pushing the voltage by .05 or .1 wont kill them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 23, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 23, 2011 The Max Voltage for all of our DDR2 modules would be 2.1 Volts so no more then +.3 Volts over default! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
