Yellowbeard Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Find the portion of the bios that will allow you to adjust the voltage to the RAM (called Vdimm or DRAMv). You can safely run the Corsair within warranty spex up to 2.9v. I suggest somewhere between 2.7v-2.85v. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock142 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Thanks............but do u think the settings I have listed are ok?..and I will adust the voltage to 2.7.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 At a glance the settings look OK. However, I have not yet had a 939 MOBO to play with hands on. So, the product spex for the PC3200XL RAM would be the best place to look for the other settings. That's why I only made a recommendation on the voltage. However, if you are not stable at the 2,2,2,5 timings, you may try setting the RAS to CAS delay to 3 and see if that helps. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock142 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 I'm pretty stable @ 2,2,2,5 with vaoltage @ 2.7 so I'll keep these settings...Thanks again for you Info :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtac7 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I have the same motherboard. What is your SDRAM Bank Interleave at? I'm not sure if it should be 4 Bank or 8 Bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorganzola Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 You can verify your memory by using http://www.memtest.org to ensure you aren't getting any errors with your settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtac7 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Yes I know that. The problem is that I am getting errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorganzola Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Sorry about that, it was not apparent that you were getting errors to me. Anyhow, I would start with these timings and see what happens. If Memtest yields no errors great, if it does try each stick seperately and see if only one of them is giving errors. I would go so far as to load setup defaults, set these timings and then try. DRAM Clock: 200 MHz SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 2T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 5T SDRAM Bank Interleave: 4 Bank All other settings are motherboard defaults.
