cwimpenn Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I have a TwinX pair of CXM512-3200XL and I believe one of the parts is bad. I've run Memtest86 on each part invidividually and while one part runs all night without error the other, unfortunately, does not. My motherboard is an Asus P4C800-E deluxe and I've flashed it to the latest BIOS. The timings used to perform the test according to Memtest86 are 2-2-2-5. I've tried upping the voltage to 2.85v when both parts were installed and Memtest86 came up with errors. However, I don't know for sure what the voltage was when the test was run on each individual part. I assume it was the value set by the SPD since I have that enabled. I've looked through other posts and tried to follow tech support's recommendations. If running the suspect part at 2.85v might make a difference I'll try that otherwise I'd like to request an RMA. Please let me know. Thank you, Craig PS - I sent an email to Ram Guy concerning this part but figured that I might need to post to the forum instead. I apologize for the redundant post.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 22, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 22, 2004 Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings; TwinX1024 or TwinX512-3200XL Advanced/Jumper Free AI over clocking: Manual CPU Freq: 200 DRAM Clock: 400 MHz Memory or Dim Reference voltage: 2.75 Volts System performance: Auto AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* Advanced/Chipset Configure Dram timing by SPD: Disabled/User define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 2T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 5T SDRAM Burst Length: 8 Performance Acceleration Mode: Enabled USB Legacy Support: Disabled All other settings should be set to default settings! Then please test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and let’s make sure it's not some other issue! I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure!

cwimpenn Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Thanks, Ram Guy. I followed the instructions in your reply and unfortunately I'm still getting errors on one of the DIMMs. Is there something else I should try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
