PrimusSucks Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Board: Asus P4PE Bios: 1007 I've tried placing the v1.1 in the first slot and the v1.5 in the last two slots, vice-versa, etc. System will not boot (no video - no beeps) if these three modules are in at the same time. V1.1 works fine by itself, and has for a couple years now. After removing conflicting memory, system boots - but boots to the bios as if it thinks something changed and wants verification. I'm not overclocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 The problem is mixing different RAM Versions. The IC's on the 1.1 are different from the 1.5. If the 1.5's are 2x512. I'd just go with that pull the 1.1 module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimusSucks Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Just pulling the v1.1 is hardly a solution, it makes for a poor paperweight or necklace. I purchased the additional RAM for a reason... and that reason remains. It's the same part#... I ordered the same part#. If it's an issue, it should be listed as a different part#. Also, it's listed quite clearly that CMX512-3200C2PT is one of the "Recommended Modules" for this board... and that's what I bought. http://compatible.corsairmemory.com/memorysearch.aspx?modelid=142 I did not buy CMX512-3200C2PT-v1.1 or CMX512-3200C2PT-v1.5 because they aren't listed as such. There isn't even a notification of this "v.whatever" anywhere on the retail packaging to indicate it's importance. Poor documentation is hardly a reason for having to get shafted.

dhc0329 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 It's the same part#... I ordered the same part#. If it's an issue, it should be listed as a different part#. I agree! this sounds almost like you can't upgrade later if you buy Corsair RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 23, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 23, 2005 Can you tell me our modules complete part# & lot code and revosoin (How To Read the Memory Label). And I would try and manually set the following timings and see if the sysyem will post and pass http://www.memtest.org. CPU Freq: 133 MHz Memory Frequency: 100% Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts Resulting Frequency: 133MHz SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 7T And wired is correct with many of the new MB's you cannot mix memory. You would need to match the modules part# and revision. But please try and set the timings and frequency manually as that will likley solve the problem as long as both modules will run one up.

PrimusSucks Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 CMX512-3200C2PT XMS3202v1.1 0251004 XMS3200 512MB 400MHz CL2 CMX512-3200C2PT XMS3202v1.5 0512147-0 XMS3200 512MB 400MHz CL2 CMX512-3200C2PT XMS3202v1.5 0512147-0 XMS3200 512MB 400MHz CL2 I don't see where I can set my "memory frequency" to a percentage. My options are quite different. MB Manual http://www.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4pe/e1110_p4pe.pdf Can you tell me our modules complete part# & lot code and revosoin (How To Read the Memory Label).

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 26, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 26, 2005 Please look in section 4.4 page 4-17 Memory Frequency or Memory Frequency Ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimusSucks Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yes... setting it to a percentage is not an option. Memory Frequency: 100% Memory Frequency [Auto] This field determines whether the memory clock frequency is set to be in synchronous or asynchronous mode with respect to the system frequency. The options that appear in the popup menu vary according to the CPU Frequency (MHz). Configuration options: [Auto] [266MHz] [355MHz] [333MHz] Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
