FighterFigger Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hi there - I have a problem: I own two Corsair memory modules (256MB each) working in dual-channel-mode. I've tested them both seperatly and the one module has a Failure at 243,8 MB Corsair CMX256A-3200C2 XMS3202v1.2 0318028 I used MemTest86 v3.2 to test the module at both settings: 2-3-3-8 and 2.5-3-3-8 Higher latencies may reduce the occurrences of failures but mostly they stay. What should I do now? :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FighterFigger Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 MB: Asus P4C800 Deluxe (Chipset: Intel875P) CPU: Intel Pentium IV 2,8GHz HT FSB: 800MHz (you know: PC400 DDR in dual channel mode) ... I'll come back after I checked my voltage-settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FighterFigger Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Ok - I'm Back. The fault remains at 2.75V but at 2.85V there was none. I'll try 2.85V for a couple of hours ... Do Corsair memory modules survive such a setting or is that way too high? :biggrin: *thanks anyway* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 17, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yes, just dont go over 2.9 Volts and you will be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FighterFigger Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 dang! It's me again. I have had problems during POST as long as "AI Overclocking" was set tu "manual" settings. So I had to switch back to "auto" what means I've got no control concerning the DRAM voltage settings any more. But it was necessary in order to boot any operating system. MemTest-86 claimed there was only one error in a hundred tests (I had a 1 of five ratio before) So my question today is: Is it possible and normal to improve the reliability of memory modules by using a higher voltage for a period of five hours? (like swinging a rusty door) :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 18, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 18, 2005 Please try and see if there is any BIOS update for your MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
