Boris25 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I've just bought a 512mb Elixer module which I installed with 2X 256mb Corsair Value. The problem is that although they work, they will only run together at DDR 333, rather than 400, which is what they are rated at. I know that the problem is with the timings; Corsair= 2.5 3 3 7 Elixer 3 3 3 8. My PC runs them together at the Corsair timings, which I presume is why it has to clock the Elixer down to 166MHz thus dragging the rest with it. O.K, I thought, I'll just run them all at the more relaxed 3 3 3 8 timings; I figured that the Corsair would have no problems doing this. Wrong; my PC wont boot at all and I have to reset CMOS and start over. Can anyone help me? Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, if you add more than 2 modules DDR333 would be suggested. 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 Best would be a Twinx set of modules, but no, as long as the modules are the same part# and revision they should work in this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
