rhouzer Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I have this ram VS512MB400C3 and this mobo ABIT "NF7-S2G" nForce2 Ultra 400 Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket A The defualt setting for the mobo's ddr ram voltage is 2.6 and the ram supports 2.5. Should I bump it down? I have been getting random restarts and lock ups and if it is suppose to have that high of voltage could that cause my problem? Also the voltage reads in both windows and bios health as .05 volts higher than it is set to so it is at 2.65. I think this could cause the problem. Am I right??

Wired Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Lowering it couldn't hurt, but the memory can take more voltage than that. Try one stick at a time in the first slot. What timings is it running at? What CPU / FSB do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 13, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 13, 2004 Max supported dim voltage on all of our DDR modules would be 2.9 Volts and I would suggest you set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts with most of our modules.

Vassili Zaitsev Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I have the exactly same problem, CAS3 memory, VS512MB400C-3 but with a DFI Ultra Infinity, it don't runs 20 seconds of memtest86 without giving me maybe 20 to 50 errors :eek: :confused: I tryed to put them into 133 MHz 1:1, nothing, errors, 200 MHz, by SPD, everything, and they give me a lot of errors. I'm using some Corsair 256MB CAS2.5 (VS256MB400) at 133 MHz and no problems (im installing windows), i put them into 200 MHz, 133 MHz, and 0 errors for more than 2 minuts. I already installed winXP, im updating it, and 0 freezes, no erros, perfect. In some hours i'll test them with 200 MHz and SPD. I think the CAS3 module (VS512MB400C-3) is not ok, maybe i will RMA it. :mad: **i tested the CAS3 memory with 2.6vdimm and the hardware monitor reports 2.65 to 2.68v of vdimm. The CAS2.5 at the same voltage runs very good :) what's the maximun voltage recommended for the CAS2.5 babes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
