Jeeden Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Was wondering what the "C2" stood for at the end... Also, I was looking for a memory check program for stabilty to tell if I have bad sticks. I have recently put this comp together for the purpose of playing everquest 2. I have a geforce 5200 in right now and it seems to blue screen after a while and I want to see if its my sticks or the ram on the video card or just the video card. I would also like to know what ECC stands for. In my BIOS should I turn on Master ECC? (support on all nodes for ECC error detect ad correction) L2cache BG Scrub? how many ns? Data chace BG scrub? DRAM scrub redirect? ECC chip kill? I know its a lot of questions but would appreciate your input/direct to qebsites that will tell me this info. I would like to learn. Also what is MPS Revision? have two options 1.1 and 1.4. Thank you for you time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 16, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 16, 2004 Please see What does C2, LL, PT, R or RE stand for in the part#? and XMS Qualification and Testing. That should explain our part#. Also with this MB the modules should be in slots 1-3 or 2-3 and I would set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and set the timings manually to the tested settings as listed in XMS Qualification and Testing!

Jeeden Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 I placed the sticks in DIMM's 1 and 3. I changed a few parameters in the bios that were previous on auto. I now have the blue screening fixed now, I think you fixed it :) Many thanks Ram Guy. However it seens the game play is a slower now. I do not understand the reason for putting in slots 1 and 3..could you explain the logic of it? and 2 and 3? Think I read that it said to put it in the blue one, Dimm1 - if you could share your knowledge that would be great. So guess it wasnt the video card after all. I will be upgrading to a geforce 6800 soon though which hopefully will speed the game up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorganzola Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Using the 1 and 3 slots or the 2 and 3 slots has to do with the number of banks of memory that the memory controller can handle. A double sided stick of memory is equal to two banks. The memory controller was only ever designed, for some reason, to handle 1 double sided stick and 2 single sided sticks at the maximum. Using two double sided sticks is actually outside the design specs for the chipset, theoretically. Most motherboards can handle it though, I don't recall the manufacturer but their board didn't take to kindly to such a configuration. I am guessing that some motherboard manufacturers can do something to make running two double sided stick simultaneously, but you need to use specific memory slots, hence the 1-3 configuration.

Jeeden Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 What should I set TRC to? TRFC? TWR? TRWT? DDR Clock Delay? 2T command? those were listed also under memory settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 16, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 16, 2004 All settings that are not listed should be set to Bios default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeden Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hmm...The game still crashed with the settings and sticks in slots 1-3, havent tried 2-3... The sticks are not bad sticks as far as I can tell, tried 1 in dimm1 and other out and visa-versa, didnt crash. My last resort of thinking is that its the video card? its a pci geforce 5200 128ddr... It just seems to crash when I have both in...this hopefully is not true when I replace the video card. I have the bios settings to pci primary display with 128 appen...Any thoughts/suggests would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorganzola Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Give http://www.memtest.org a try and see what results you get. If you have no errors with the memory then memtest should show no errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
