thefox Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 What is the timing on value select? I have 1gb kit of pc3200 value select running on an AMD2500+ with a chaintech A7JNL6, 9600xt. I've got the latest vid card drivers and dx9.0c. My comp freezes up randomly. I tried all sorts of BIOS options and FSB settings and RAM speeds.

Wired Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Is it 400 or 400C3 VS? 400: 2.5-3-3-8 400C3: 3-4-4-8 Make sure you're running them @ 333 Mhz, and up the AGP voltage to 1.6 volts (default's 1.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefox Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 It is 400 so it would be 2.5-3-3-8. Thanx for the info. Why would I want it running at 333mhz though? Isn't it supposed to run at 400mhz? As far as agp voltage is concerned there is no way to adjust the agp voltage from the BIOS on chaintech's A7JNL6. I think it auto detects the voltage.

Wired Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Your FSB is @ 333 Mhz, and in AMD systems running the memory asynchronous with the FSB causes instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 21, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 21, 2005 If the FSB of your CPU is 400 For Intel and 100 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports only DDR 266. If the FSB of your CPU is 533 For Intel and 133/166 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 266/333 If the FSB of your CPU is 800 MHz for Intel and 200 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 333/400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefox Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Wow I can't believe I'd never heard that before. That is prob what was causing instability. Thanx for the good info guys. "shakes head" Still can't believe I'd never read that anywhere before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 22, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well I think the marketing people don’t like to list the limitations, only max speed. Sometimes Marketing personnel and Lawyers are on about the same level. :roll: When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
