spidersin Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 try putting your ram setting to 166.00 and run memtest86 again see if u get errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 How many errors? test one stick at a time in the same slot with those timings with memtest, @ 200 Mhz. If you still get errors, set the tRCD to 3 and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3ham Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 ok thanks wired i will try what u have suggested tonight after i get home from work and give you a detailed report of my findings. A wee question if the sims work ok on there own but not in dual channel is that a memory or motherboard problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 8, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 8, 2005 Please put the memory modules on either slots 1&3 or 2&4; make sure that you have the latest BIOS installed for your MB; load optimized/set up default, and set the following BIOS settings; TwinX512 or TwinX1024-3200XL Advanced CPU/Memory Configuration: Memclock Mode: Limit Memclock Value: 2:1 (DDR400) Bank Interleaving: 4/Enabled Burst Length: 8 SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 2T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 5T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T 2T Command Rate: Disabled Jumper Free/Frequency Voltage Control: AI Overclock Tuner: Manual CPU FSB Clock: 200 DDR Voltage: 2.8 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3ham Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi ramguy i checked my system with the setting u recommended and here is my results Dual Channel in slot A1&B1 @ 2.75v got 5 errors at test 4 on the first pass (stopped test at this point) Dual Channel in slot A1&B1 @ 2.8v got 2 errors at test 3 on the first pass (stopped test after test 4 had ran) Dual Channel in slot A1&B1 @2.85v got 12 errors at test 4 on the first pass (stopped test at this point) Dual Channel in slot A2&B2 @ 2.8v got 10 errors at test 4 on the first pass (stopped test at this point) Sinlgle Module in slot A2 @ 2.75 both sims passed 3 passes without any errors i have attached an images of my bios settings just incase im missing something. so im a bit confused the sims work ok in single channel but not in dual channel. what do u think ramguy cheers Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 9, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 9, 2005 Please test the modules one at a time to verify whether one memory module is good or bad, if found one module to be good; then please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!

c3ham Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 i tested the modules one at a time and both the modules did 3 passes without any errors that is what i meant when i sayed single channel. UPDATE tried my brothers memory in dual channel mode. one is a twinmos twister module (cas 2)and the other is twinmos value (cas 2.5) not a matching set and ran memtest86+ for 4 passes with no errors so maybe my corsair memory is faulty.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 9, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 9, 2005 Please test the modules with the latest BIOS, the non-beta version; see if this will make a difference. If you have one PCI-Express card, then please make sure that the SLI is disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3ham Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have tried with the latest non beta bios and SLI was disabled. Same result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3ham Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 i live in the uk so would i be better trying to rma the memory through dabs the company i bought it from less than two months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3ham Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 hi i live in the uk and i send the ram back to "dabs" where i bought it and there are saying it will be 4-6 weeks before i get my ram back because i had it longer than 28 days. They say they need to send it back to there supplier for repair (i had it for 34 days or something). I dont think this is acceptable as i have a new computer i cant use for 4-6 weeks because i was sold faulty ram is there any thing u can do for me ram guy also i dont want repaired ram i want new ram thank u Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Corsair always replaces memory with new memory. I think trans-atlantic RMAs take somewhere around 2 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 23, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 23, 2005 You can either go back to the place where you bought it from; they should be able to help you out and take care of it for you, but if you are having a problem going through them, then I am sorry but you will have to send your modules to be replace here in US.
