vagabard Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Had some stability problems when doing torture test under prime95, especially with super pi running simultaneously. Ran memtest for several hours and it didn't show up any problems. I then took out one module, and was still having problems under prime95. I then switch modules, and have had no problems with the second one installed by itself. Based on this, I believe I have a bad module. At present I am running at 200 mghz, 2.70 V, 2.5-4-4-8 with a 1T timing. Is there any reason other than a bad module that one would work fine and the other would fail? Also, I get fewer failures with the one bad module than when I have both modules installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 15, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 15, 2005 Can you tell me the make and model of MB you have along with the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabard Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 I have an MSI Neo2 Platium, AMD64 3000 (1.8 ghz). I have tried the fail Safe bios settings, the Optimized bios settings, I have set the 2.5 - 4 - 4 - 8 timings manually, and I have disabled the dynamic overclocking and aggressive timings. I've used the auto settings for CPU. THe FSB is 200Mhz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 16, 2005 Please test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and I would set the Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts and if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other issue, but if you just have one failing then let's get your modules replaced. Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used the auto settings for CPU. THe FSB is 200Mhz. Just to chime in. I am also having issues with the same board and mem. everything in bios is set to safe settings (3-4-4-8) @ 200MHz and memtest shows errors. Hey RamGuy, should I submit my own post and get warranty service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 16, 2005 That would suggest some other problem to me, can you test the modules in another system? And do you have the latest beta bios for your MB? You might check over at MSI's user forum and see what they have to say to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You check over at MSI's user forum and see what they have to say to be sure. Latest Bios. now i did put these sticks on a Aopen AX4C-Max (i875P) board and it works at (2.5,4,4) @ 200, BUT will not work at (2,2,2) @ 200. Both with PAT enabled with P4, 2.4GHz.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 16, 2005 Did you have the dim voltage set to 2.8 Volts? If not please try that and test the system with http://www.memtest.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy2314 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Did you have the dim voltage set to 2.8 Volts? If not please try that and test the system with http://www.memtest.org it's set to AUTO... does SPD specify voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 17, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 17, 2005 Yes, but all MB's at this time will set the voltage to what the MB maker sets, and one of the reasons we always suggest you manually set the timings and voltage.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 18, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 18, 2005 Ok let me know when you get the new modules. I assume that they did not run when you set the dim voltage to 2.8 Volts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
