Aganitte Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hi! I recently purchased the above motherboard. I'm running an AMD64 3500+ Clawhammer on it. I have two sticks of CMX256A 3200c2 v 1.1 that both work fine with dual channel. My problems is with two other sticks I have. Both are CMx512 3200c2pt, but one is v 2.2 the other is version 4.2. I have confirmed that both these sticks work individually (and jointly on a non-dual channel 3 stick board), but when I put them into the ASUS board above, I get a boot error. POST error reporting says that my CPU is being overclocked. I have tried these two sticks alone, and together with the above 256x2. I have little experience with this board, so it may be a bios setting, I'm not sure. As you may know, ASUS customer support is dubious at best.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 23, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 23, 2005 With this platform you would need to use modules that are exactly matched both part# and revision. Sorry! I would suggest using a Twinx set of modules for best performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 In most cases, you cannot mix revisions of RAM like you have. You will need an exactly matched pair to run reliably on a dual channel MOBO. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 23, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 23, 2005 If you just baught them you can see if the reseller will let you exchange them for a Twinx set of modules. Or there is always ebay to sell your old modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
