pr1son3r Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I recently purchased 1G of value select dual channel memory. I put it into a brand new system, and it has never been quite stable. After Prime95 repeatedly gave me a rounding error, I decided to run memcheck over night. To my suprise, a few thousand errors occured on different tests. Before I try and RMA the memory, what should I set my bios to? The motherboard is a Asus A8N SLi-Deluxe (with a AMD64 3200+, if thats at all relevant), I haven't modified any of the memory or CPU options in the bios as far as I know, so it should be running at whatever the default is.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 18, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 18, 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; VS1GBKIT400 or VS512MB400 Advanced CPU/Memory Configuration: Memclock Mode: Limit Memclock Value: 2:1 (DDR400) Bank Interleaving: 4/Enabled Burst Length: 8 SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 8T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T 2T Command Rate: Enabled Jumper Free/Frequency Voltage Control: AI Overclock Tuner: Manual CPU FSB Clock: 200 DDR Voltage: 2.75 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* PEG Mode: Disabled SLI Mode: Auto if you have 2 PCI Express Card, or Disabled if you only have one. 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...

VS1GBKIT400 is what I have, I had already updated the bios, I loaded the default and set all the settings you said to (except burst length/bank interleaving, I couldn't find those two in the bios). Ran memtest again, its still coming up with errors in test 5 and 7. RMA time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
