eddiethehead Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Specs: MSI K8N Neo AMD 64 3400 Corsair Ram (1) cmx512-3200 c2 xms3200 v4.2 0433009-0 (2) cmx512-3200 xms3200 v1.2 0435117-0 Maxtor SATA 80 GB Nvidia Geforce 5600 Enermax 465w ps Timings are set to 3-3-8-3 auto in bios PC works fine with stick (2) only. Hangs on boot with both installed...boots, but occasionally blue screens with just stick (1). I have both sticks installed in slots 1 and 2 as recommended by MSI's manual. Is there a possibility that I need to try new timings and if so, what would you recommend? If this is not the problem in your opinion, would I be able to return stick (1) for one more compatible with stick (2)? I would be willing to send both modules in for testing and would be happy to return them both for a 'matched set', if it was necessary as I have a backup pc available while waiting. Thank You for your time and insight, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 7, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 7, 2005 I am sorry, but with this platform you cannot mix memory. The modules would need to be exactly matched both in part# and revision. If you just got these I would see if the reseller will let you send these back and get a single CMX1024-3200C2 for best performance with this MB.

eddiethehead Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Would be much cheaper to just find a mobo that these would work with and replace it! Any suggestions? Otherwise, I have some good ram available cheap! Thanks, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 7, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 7, 2005 It's not the MOBO, its the memory controller in the CPU that is the limitation. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
