FluffHead Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Like most I've had a terrible time with the AV8 3rd Eye MoBo. Per the Corsair RAM Config utility I have purchased TWINX1024-3200C2 1Gb DDR400 XMS3200 Dual-Channel Memory w/Heat Spreader. Will this be fully compatible with my AV8? And what settings should I change in the BIOS if any? I do plan to Overclock my CPU which is an AMD 64 3500 90nm core, is there anything I should consider there? I'm currently using Crucial memory which although older was recommended by the Crucial website config utiliity and it is not fully compatible. Your comments are appreciated.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 11, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 11, 2004 These modules should be no problem with this MB. And you can use the settings bellow as a reference. In addition, please get the latest bios before you start as well. And I would suggest you use slots 3-4 for the modules. With this MB I would suggest you set Dim Voltage to +2.7 Volts: CAS Latency CL=2.5 Row Cycle Time tRC Bios Default Row Refresh Cyc Time tRFC Bios Default Ras# to CAS# delay tRCD 3 Row to Row delay Bios Default Min Ras# Active Time tRAS 6 Row Precharge Time tRP 3 Write Recovery Time Bios Default Write to Read delay Bios Default Read to Write Delay Bios Default Refresh Period tREF Bios Default Enable 2T Timing Disabled Then test the system with http://www.memtest.org and make sure it's stable! If you have problems, I would set Enable 2T Timings to AUTO and test it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
