scotchfx Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I just added a gig of TWINX1024RE-3200LLPT to my workstation and am getting errors @ ~96% of test 5 when running memtest86+ v.27. My current setup is as follows: 2 x AMD Opteron 248 MSI K8t Master2-FAR / Award v1.1 BIOS 2 GB of TwinX1024RE-3200LLPT (2 x 512MB) 2 x 74GB WD Raptor (RAID Striping Array on VIA K8T800) 2 x 80GB WD800JB (compressed backup drives) Sapphire Radeon 9700 128MB Enermax EG651P-VEFM (550W 24-pin ATX PSU) WinXP SP2 and all critical updates I have tried increasing the DDR voltage to 2.65V and additionally have tried manually setting the CAS timing to 2, but the error still reproduces. The DDR I am currently using has already been RMA'd once for a different error a few months ago. Could my new set of DDR be faulty as well? As stated above, the DDR that is causing the error is the 2nd gig of TWINX1024RE-3200LLPT, the gig that I was using already has been tested (using memtest86+ v1.27) and has no returned any errors. Tomorrow I will switch out the 1st gig (good) with the 2nd gig (bad) and see if the error reproduces when using only the bad memory. Will I be able to RMA this memory a second time? If so, can I get some feedback once Corsair has received my DDR that will confirm that the DDR is indeed bad, and it is not some random error w/ my system? Thanks!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 28, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 28, 2004 With 4 modules you may have to relax the timings to Cass 2.5-3-3-7, but I would test them one set at a time and if you can set the Dim Voltage to 2.75 Volts as well.

scotchfx Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 I tested my 2nd gig (bad) of TWINX1024RE-3200LLPT alone in my workstation(memtest86+ v1.27) and came up with a slew of errors on test 5 (~767.8MB) and test 6 (561.8MB, 756.8MB & 560.8MB). I ran my 1st gig (good) and came up with none (ran for 3+ hrs with memtest86+). My BIOS (Award v1.1) only allows me a max voltage of 2.65V for my DDR. Will I be able to RMA this memory a second time? If so, can I get some feedback once Corsair has received my DDR that will confirm that the DDR is indeed bad, and it is not some random error w/ my system? Thanks!
