babacool Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 HI , I am new on this forum and based in France. I have some problems with this set of memories when I play games such as operationFlashpoint or Age of Empire. My config is : Xp 2500 barton overclocked( for two years from now and stable ) to FSB 200 X 11 ( 2200 Mhz) core 1,65v ( tried 1,675 then 1,7 same result ) A7N8X-Deluxe rev 2 BIOS 1008 DD WD 1200J 120 mb ide100 Graphic board ATI 9600 256mb latest driver Twinx 1024-3200 C2 cas 2,5 3 3 6 dimm 2,7V No errors under memest86 all night long . But when playing above games, screen freezes after 20 min of utilization and the system is locked, I can only reset it. And sometimes, the screen turns to black and there is a sound as a disk drive shutdown ( auto reset ). no problems under other utilizations. NOTICE : with exactly same config , before getting twinx 3200c2, I had on loan a kit of 1024 value ram ( 2 X 512mb cas 2,5 3 3 6) for a week and no soucy etheir normal ulilization or gaming. So I am a bit dispite when runnig with this new kit of memories Twinx 1024-3200 C2, I hoped this kit was greater in performence than value ram kit. Did I do something wrong or are these memories not compatible with my motherboard ? Could anybody help me to solve this problem ? Excuse-me for my poor english!! Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 8, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 8, 2005 I would load setup defaults and then set the following settings and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure one is not failing. CPU Freq: 166 MHz System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts AGP Voltage: 1.6 Volts Resulting Frequency: 166MHz SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repeat also that my config with twinx 1024-3200 C2 has not shown ANY error under memtest86 for a night and a day long. I don't understand why 2x512mb Ram Value memory is working better that 2x512mb twinx 3200 C2 within the exactly same config and bios set !!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 8, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 8, 2005 That may be why if you did not reset the bios. There are other settings that would need to be set when you chnage memory that are not seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
