hempracer Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I need some advice. I have two VS512MB400 running in my system. AMD Athlon 64 3200 Winchester MSI Neo2 Platinum 939 MS-7025 ATI Radeon 9600XT 128 DDR From other forums I have learned what the setting should be...see below. When I set the Max Memclock to 200 my computer will not start. When I set it to auto which has it running at 100 it starts and runs well but it's not using the best amount from my memory at 200. What am I doing wrong. I have ran that memory test and the ram has no errors. Can I run 200 Memclock on my system or is it limited to 100? What other settings can I try? I also want to use the Dynamic Overclocking but will that work. So, I tried the setting exactly below with no success. These settings did not work. DRAM Configuration : Max Memclock: Limit or 200 1T/2T Memory Timing : 2T CAS# latency (Tlc): 2.5 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd): 3 Min RAS# active time (Tras): 8 Row precharge Time (Trp): 3 High Performance Mode : Manual Aggressive timing : DISABLED Dynamic Overclocking: DISABLED Spread Spectrum : Enabled HT Frequency : 5x Cool’n’Quiet: Enable Adjust CPU Rotation: Startup Adjust CPU FSB Frequency: 200 Adjust AGP Frequency: 66 Adjust CPU VID 1.500v CPU Voltage: By CPU VID Memory Voltage : 2.75 AGP Voltage: 1.50V *1.6V if you have 9200 or 9600 ATI or 5200 or 5700 Nvidia card. I am having success with these settings: DRAM Configuration : Max Memclock: Auto 1T/2T Memory Timing : 1T CAS# latency (Tlc): 2.5 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd): 3 Min RAS# active time (Tras): 8 Row precharge Time (Trp): 3 High Performance Mode : optimal Aggressive timing : optimal Dynamic Overclocking: Colonel Spread Spectrum : disabled HT Frequency : 4x Cool’n’Quiet: Enable Adjust CPU Rotation: Startup Adjust CPU FSB Frequency: 200 Adjust AGP Frequency: 66 Adjust CPU VID 1.500v CPU Voltage: By CPU VID Memory Voltage : Auto AGP Voltage: 1.60V My system is stable and running at a 2.4Ghz and CPU temp 50c. But I can't get the ramm to run at 200Mhz. I want to OverClock and have the right settings. What are the right settings for my computer? Help, this is so confusing trying to get the right info.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 19, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 19, 2005 Please test the modules one at a time and I would set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and lets make sure one is not failing.

hempracer Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thanks. I will try that out when I get home from work and let you know what the test results are.

hempracer Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 I tested both of the ram seperately with the Memtest. The first one passed with no errors, I ran it for 60 minutes. The second ram had one error and I also ran that for 60 minutes. The following is the error that the second ram had is:. Test 8 Pass 2 Failing Address 0001e209768 - 482.5MB Good 00000000 Bad 00002000 Err-Bits 00002000 Count 1 The error only showed up once. When I tested the second ram again it did not have an error. I tested both chips at once and it didn't have an error. I tested the memory using the setting that you sent me and I didn't have a problem. Your setting were working and the computer booted up fine. I was running both chips in Memory Slot 1 and Slot 3. After reveiwing your comments again in other postings I decided to play around with the memory location and placed the memory in Slot 1 and Slot 2 and it started up with your settings and seems to be running well. So, I don't know if the ram was in the wrong slots or what but your settings are working and my computer is booting and also I am able to have the Dynamic Overclocking set at Colonel level. Thank you very much. Should I be worried about the error that the second ram had? Thanks Robert Please do let me know, and I would test the modules one at a time as well.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 20, 2005 Try the voltage at 2.8 Volts and see if that will solve the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hempracer Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 I will try the Volt setting tonight. Thank you very much for all of your help!!! Try the voltage at 2.8 Volts and see if that will solve the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 20, 2005 No problem, and please let me know, and that error just for the record may be from another issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hempracer Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 I ran the Memtest with the new mem volt settings at 2.8v for 60 minutes and it came up with 8 errors. Here are the errors Test 5, Pass 0, Failing Address 00028eb3dc0 654.1mb Test 5, Pass 0, Failing Address 00028eb3de0 654.1mb Test 5, Pass 0, Failing Address 00029eb3da0 670.1mb Test 5, Pass 0, Failing Address 0000f23a164 242.6mb Test 7, Pass 0, Failing Address 00028eb3d64 242.6mb Test 7, Pass 0, Failing Address 0000f23a164 242.6mb Test 8, Pass 0, Failing Address 00028eb3d64 654.1mb What does this mean? The system did seem to run faster with the new mem volt settings but had more errors. Robert No problem, and please let me know, and that error just for the record may be from another issue.
