tafranks Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi, I recently purchased a 1 GByte TwinX Matched Memory Pair. TWINX1024-3200C2 LOT# 0509093-1. I have a SOYO P4VTP MB. When playing World of Warcraft, after about 30 minutes I begin to get memory errors that crash the game and sometimes reboot my computer with no warning. Once in this condition, memtst86 fails test #5 at > 512MB (usually starting around 600MB) consistently. No other tests fail. This happens regardless of which modules I place in which slots. This never happens with only one 512MB module installed, only with both modules installed for a total of 1024MB of memory. The individual modules never fail memtst86 regardless of the slot. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 4, 2005 I would try the modules in another MB and or system. But chances are this is a MB/power issue or maybe a setting that you may have over looked. I would also suggest setting the Dim Voltage to 2.7 or 2.8 Volts and see if that helps.

Using the SOYO HW Monitor I see DRAM Voltage at 2.56 Volts. I have no idea how to change that. How do I set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 or 2.8 Volts?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 4, 2005 I am sorry as I have not seen a SO-YO MB in a long time, please ask the MB maker as they should be able to answer that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tafranks Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 I am sorry as I have not seen a SO-YO MB in a long time, please ask the MB maker as they should be able to answer that question. I have now had to revert back to my original 512MB DIMM (from a competitor) because even one Corsair module is unstable and fails. I contacted SOYO who indicate there is no way to set memory voltage level on this motherboard. I used your memory configurator and it recommended this kit but it, quite simply, does not work. The configurator even states that the voltage level is 2.5V on this mb: ---------------------------- Facts about this Motherboard Three 184-pin DDR SDRAM 2.5V DIMM sockets support up to 3GB (DDR 266/333/400) ---------------------------- All I want (or ever wanted) was 1GB of RAM in on my SOYO SY-P4VTP motherboard. I don't care if it is two 512MB DIMMs or one 1GB DIMM, I just need something that works reliably and your product I have now does not. I need you to recommend what I need to get 1GB of RAM, then RMA this kit that does not work and send me something that does. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 10, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 10, 2005 Tom, I have no problem replacing the modules for you, but we can only replace for the same part# that you send in. I would see if a friend can help you test the modules in another system. And 2.65 Volts would be JEDEC spec for DDR400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
