Mulderx81 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Just as the title of the post says.... When i use 4 512MB sticks the system will not boot up with any clock speed higher than PC2700 or 333Mhz....it only runs 400Mhz with 2 512 sticks i really want to upgrade my RAM to 2 Gigs.... What can i do... Buy 2 1024MB sticks...? will that allow me to run PC3200 with more than a Gig or somehow change a setting or two? Please help. _______________________________ Detailed Setup AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Ga-K8NSNXP 939 Nforce 3 Mobo 1 GB Corsair 1024XL (2.5-3-3-6) E-Vga 6800 GT Ultra X-Connect 500 Watt PSU Arctic Silver 5 Thermal compound Lite on Dual layer DVD-RW Lite on DVD-ROM ThermalTake Xaser III case 2 40 Gig Western Digital Raptors in Raid - 0 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 The Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP MB has a limitation to it; that if installed with 4 double sided memory modules, the board will only support 333MHz speed of memory; but please double check this with Gigabyte. You can try ahead and set the following BIOS settings and see if this fixes the problem, but before setting the settings accordingly; please make sure that you have the latest BIOS installed, and load set up/optimized default settings. TwinX1024 or TwinX512-3200XL Advanced Chipset Features (Ctrl + F1) DRAM Clock: 400 MHz Configure Dram timing by SPD: Disabled/User define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 2T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 5T SDRAM Burst Length: 8 SDRAM Bank Interleave: 4/Auto/Enabled SDRAM Command Rate: 2T Frequency Voltage Control CPU Freq: 200 Memory or Dim Reference voltage: 2.7/2.75 Volts (+.2) AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI 9200 or 9600 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!
