cshylton Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I have just purchased corsair memory twinx1024-3200pt thinking it would work in my kn8 neo 4 motherboard. On the memory package it says 2.1 volts. My board calls for 2.5 volts. Will this not work? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 It should be 2.7 actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltpetre Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi I believe you may have made the same mistake as I did.Does it say somthing like; xms3200v2.1 ?If so the 2.1 is the version number, there is a thread in the FAQ,s that explains it all. As for the compatability in your board I have the same problem as mine is also 2.5 volt and i have been unable to get a deffinitive answer here as to wether it will work .All I can say is I put mine in and it seems to work ok . saltpetre.

CandyKid Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 The JEDEC spec for DDR memory is 2.5 volts. High performance memory modules require a little more power, but all of Corsair's XMS line is garaunteed up to 2.9 volts on the VDimm setting. Yes, it should still be compatible, but the more aggressive the module, the more likely it will require slightly more voltage. If your BIOS has the option of increasing the VDimm, I'd put it to 2.65 or 2.7 and see if that helps (if you have a problem in the first place).

cshylton Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Thanks for all the comments. Yes, I believe it is a version # instead of voltage. I will find out if it is compatible tomorrow. Thanks again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 24, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 24, 2005 I would suggest 2.7X Volts for XMS3200 memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
