Archangel_B4U Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Ok first here are my computer specs: Mother board: Asus K8n deluxe cpu: AMD 3700+ 64bit Video card: x800 pro AgpX8 Hard Drive: western digital 200GB disc dive: plextor DVD burner ram in question: 1gb(2X 512mb) twinx match memory pair latcey 2-2-2-5 2gb(2X 1Gb) twinx match memory pair latcey 3-3-3-8 Ok here is the story, Me and my friend split the cost on the 2Gb pair and we both got one a piece what im trying to get to work is the 2 sticks of 512Mb and one of the 1Gb sticks to get a total of 2Gb in the system out of the 3 sticks. When i turned it on i get nothing but a black screen and no post code is given. Is there a reason I can't mix 2 sticks of 512Mb with one stick of 1Gb? Any help would be welcome thank you.

Wired Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 What is the exact part # / revision # of each stick? Part of the reason they are having problems is because you're mixing a TwinX1024-3200XL pack (the timings tell me so) with either a CMX1024-3200 or a VS1GB400C3. You MIGHT be able to get it to run @ 3-4-4-8, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 8, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 8, 2005 I am sorry but you cannot memory memory with this platform. I think there is a blurb about this in the user manual all modules would need to be the exact same speed grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel_B4U Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 I know they must be same speed in terms of ddr 333, drr400, etc. but does that apply to the latecy such as 3-3-3-8, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 12, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yes it sure does, if the modules SPD do not match the memory controller will not know what to set and not detect any of the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancAMD3400 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 This is also my question. I have the Corsair VS1GBKIT400 1GB Kit DDR400 PC3200 CAS2.5 Value Select Memory Retail (2x512MB), I would like to know if I can purchase a Corsair VS1GB400C3 1GB DDR400 PC3200 CAS3 Value Select Memory Retail and if they will be compatible.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 19, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 19, 2005 No I am sorry that will not run in most MB's they would need to be exactly matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
