Peapod Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi people I have just purchased 1 gb of corsair 4400 with an MSI k8n diamond sli, now for the life of me I cant get this thing past 220 fsb, I have tried lowering the HTT to 4x and 3x, with no joy!!!, also upping the voltage. I have emailed msi, who in turn sent me a technical form to fill out. system specs.... Msi k8n nforce 4 diamond sli 2* 512 corsair 4400 tried slots 1&2, 3&4 XFX 6800 Ultra tagan 480 water cooled strange thing was it did boot once @ 220, but when i reset the pc, it wouldnt boot again, until i cleared the cmos your help is appreciated......to be honest I think I may have to wait for a bios update, 1.1 is in now......... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 2, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 2, 2005 I would try and make the system stable first at default settings and then as you over clock you will need to lower the CPU multiplier and the H/T frequency.

Ok, I might try this....I have a 3500 newcastle core, now do you think that would make a difference overclocking wise?? I have just been to another forum, and according one poster, he has his memory @ 290!!, with the same setup as me, except he has a 3500 winny.........

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 2, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 2, 2005 I would ask that other user what settings he had set, but yes the new castel CPU's do not over clock as well as some of the newer cores. Can you test the modules in another system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I popped in my newcastle core cpu, and im on 10*250 with no probs at all, Im one happy chappie again!!!!!!!, 250fsb is nothing to laugh at on a new castle!!!!!!! So my only conclusion is that, on my newer processor a winchester core, it must have a weak memory controller........strange.....week 51 04 thanks a lot ram guy.......what would we do without u!!!!!! regards adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
