odd Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 :mad: Hey all, I just upgraded last night from a Asus A7N8X-E NF2 to a Asus K8N-E motherboard and everything went smooth except for my RAM install. I have 2 sticks of Corsair CMX512-3200C2 (512MB) and the computer will not boot with both sticks of RAM installed. One stick is fine but both nope. I know the RAM is fins as it was working perfectly last night and I tested it before I installed it in my new system. Anyone else have this issue? edit: I found outthat one stick is version 1.1 and the other is v 4.2. Both sticks have the same markings other than the version number. here is my system hardware A64 3200+ K8N-E deluxe 2x 512MB CMX512 -3200C2 Corsair RAM Enermax 430W PS help.. I just want my Gig of RAM back. Also who would I contact to swap out the RAM? where I purchased it from or direct from Corsair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 22, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 22, 2004 I would agree that you may not be able to run two modules that are not identical. But you can try and set the memory frequency and timings manually to Cass 2.5-3-3-7 at DDR400 and see if the system is stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odd Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Well I have good news I think. I returned the RAM to the vendor I got it from, spent a little more money and picked up a TwinX kit. Right now I am too tired to install the RAM, but will do tomorrow morning. Matched set of CMX512-3200XL v.1.2. I hope any issues with my Asus K8N-E will be gone with this.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 23, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 23, 2004 They should run great just get the latest bios and then install the modules in slots 1-3 or 2-3 and set the Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts and you should be good to go.

odd Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Works like a champ at 2-2-2-10 400Mhz, default voltage. This is why I buy Corsair. I HAVE MY GB BACK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odd Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 RAM GUY. The voltage is running at 2.5, is this ok? Should I be running the RAM at 2.7? Everything is super stable, but I am wondering about the life of the RAM. Stupid question I know since it is running perfectly fine. Also can this RAM run at T1 rate? I have not been able to find any info about this. Thnaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 14, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 14, 2004 Suggested Voltage for these modules would be 2.75 Volts, so yes I would set it to 2.7 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
