pcnmechguru3 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 i have a K8N neo 2 Platinum,and a A64 3200 i ran memtest on my memory im having stability issues i ran the first memtest with timings of 2-2-2-5 2.80 volts 1T at cpu/fsb 1:1 200x10 for 2 hrs with no errors then i tried to to see if i could run 220x10 1:1 same timings and 2.85 volts i had a restart so i changed my ram timings to 2.5-3-3-7 and went to 235x10 1T 1:1, 2.85 volts and ran memtest again and got 9 errors in 6 hrs these are in slots 1+2 closest to the cpu which MSI recommends dual channel i didnt run them seperate only together cant these sticks take 235 fsb with those loose timings or might i have 1 or 2 bad sticks ?

CandyKid Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 i ran memtest on my memory im having stability issues i ran the first memtest with timings of 2-2-2-5 2.80 volts 1T at cpu/fsb 1:1 200x10 for 2 hrs with no errors Because of this, you do not have bad modules. Point blank, they perform just as well as Corsair says they will. But when you say you had stability issues, please explain! However, these modules do tend to overclock fairly well, so let's see what we can't do! Did you try 2.5-3-3-7 with 220 instead of 235? 235 might be too much of an overclock for your processor which could also toss memtest errors. Remember, you can go up to 2.9v on the VDimm! How is your CPU cooling situation? What about voltage, tried a higher VCore when you OC? PLUR CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcnmechguru3 Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 cpu is watercooled,vcore is 1.5 been as high as 1.65vcore with the same errors ,ill try 2.5-3-3-7 @220 1T and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcnmechguru3 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 ok just ran memtest at timings of 2.5-3-3-7 1T 220x10 3 HTT vcore 1.60 and no errors for 1.5 hrs but i noticed at 1.5 hrs of running memtest locked up ill rerun and see vdimm is 2.85 btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 11, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 11, 2005 If you are not getting errors but the system locks in memtest that would suggest some other component is failing at those settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcnmechguru3 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 ran memtest again i got an error on #8 test running after 46 minutes with timings of 2.5-3-3-7 but it ran before for 1.5 hrs and no errors but had a lock up ran the same 2 sticks at 2-2-2-5 2.85 vdimm 1.6 vcore 1T cmd 1:1 fsb/cpu 200x10 and got no errors for 11 hrs im clueless here any ideas cant this memory handle high clocks ? maybe a cpu memory controller ? PSU ? Board ? Psu rails are within spec and 2 rails are a bit above spec but the 12volt rail has only 24 amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 11, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 11, 2005 More than likely its the CPU just topping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
