Buntmans Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Best RAMGUY, I've recently bought the TWINX xms3205V3.1 modules, but I have been experiencing problems. I run my modules at 2.8V on an abit KV8-pro. I use timings from the SPD (2,5 , 2, 3 , 6) and i run then at a HTT of 200. Problems are rare but do happen (typical memory related BSOD's). When i run memtestx86 i get (in 8 hrs running) 4000 errors on test4 and 8000 errors on test8. Are these modules defect? And, if I send them RMA, do i get new modules in advance ? (i can't work without my computer, so i'm dependant on memory modules). On the memtest program i can only see the top of the errorlist (not very flexible program) and i can see the errors start on 573.5MB and up.... maybe that will provide a hint to what's wrong with them. Yours sincerely, Martijn van den Bunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 16, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 16, 2004 Can you tell me our modules part# and the make and model of MB you have along with the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntmans Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Ofcourse, this is all the information that's on the heatsink: CMX512-3200llpt XMS3205V3.1 0436134-3 XMS3200 2326 and the rest of my config: MB: Abit KV8-Pro 1.1 bios v19 CPU: AMD Athlon64 3400+ clawhammer SPEED= 12x 200 = 2200 MEM: FSB of memory is also at 200 latencies (from spd): 2,5 - 2 - 3 - 6 VOLTAGE: CPU 1.5 DDR 2.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 16, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 16, 2004 Please put the memory module on slot 1 & 3; make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB, and set the following settings on your BIOS; TwinX512 or TwinX1024-3200LL Guru Utility CPU Clock: 200 Memory Clock: 200 or 400MHz CPU/DRAM ratio: 1:1 Spread Spectrum: Enabled DDR Voltage: 2.7/2.75 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* Advanced Chipset: Memclock Mode: Limit Memclock Value: 2:1 (DDR400) Bank Interleaving: 4/Enabled Burst Length: 4 SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T Hypertransport: 4X 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!

Buntmans Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Humm, this mb only has 2 memory slots.. :( except for that i will enter this data in the bios. run memtest and report back to you. edit: and i have indeed an ati 9600 i will therefore also set agp voltage to 1.5. does this really have an effect in memtest..?

Buntmans Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Best Ramguy, I followed all your instructions and I got 32 passes with my memory now at 2326, so thank you very much! Another question: i noticed that with a small FSB increase (200->204, abit does this by default on all her mb's) i start getting errors. What timings can i use on the modules to achieve a FSB of, let's say, 225 ? Or will increasing the voltage help or is this not recommended? thanks in advance, sincerely, Martijn van den Bunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 They may not OC that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntmans Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Also not with more relaxed timings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 17, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 17, 2004 You can try Cass 2.5-3-3-7 at 2.9 Volts and see what you get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntmans Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 What IC's are on these modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
