CandyKid Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Welcome to the forums, HertanJ! If your CPU's FSB is 333, please run your memory at 100% / 166MHz. The nForce chipsets do a lot better when the memory is in sync with the CPU. You can also try increasing the VDimm to 2.8 volts. PLUR CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 14, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 14, 2005 As long as you have the memory frequency set to 100% and you still get these errors I would siggest testing the module one at a time in another system if you can and if you still get errors with one module 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!

HertanJ Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 ok, so i did as you wanted (testing each module one at a time at 100%) and i still had errors. SO.....I RMA'ed them and sent 'em back to CORSAIR. I just got my new sticks in the mail, tested them out......EVERYTHING IS SMOOTH AND PERFECT! I guess i was just unlucky with my order. Thanks for your help... AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Dear mr. ram guy, YOUR THE BEST. Sincerely, ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
