Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 2, 2005 Can you tell me the module 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...

I have an Abit IS7-E motherboard with a 2.8ghz pentium 4 chip, FSB 800 mhz. My ram is two sticks of corsair xms 512, CMX512 - 3200C2PT. all of my bios settings are the originals, i didn't try anything fancy with this.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 30, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 30, 2005 Please make sure that you have the latest bios and then load setup/Optimized defaults and set the Dim Voltage to + 2.7 Volts and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org. Dim Voltage 2.7 Volts SDRAM Bank cycle time (or tRAS): 6 SDRAM Bank Interleave: 4 SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3 SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay (tRCD): 3 SDRAM CAS Latency: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Schaffner Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 I tested with all the settings you gave and still came up with the same results, approximately 107,000 errors between the two modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Was that one at a time, or both at the same time? What is the revision of each stick? How To Read the Memory Label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Schaffner Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 that was one at a time, it was split pretty evenly, one had 45k, the other had 62k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 29, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 29, 2005 Getting erros with both modules would suggest some other problem, can you tell me the exact bios settings you used for every thing and have you tested them in another system?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 2, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 2, 2005 And please set the memory frequency manually as well. And please make sure that you do not have any of the performance options set in the bios just load optimized/setup defaults and then set the timings and voltage and freq. manually then test the modules one at a time.
