Tom Clary Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I am building a new system for a friend. It is a new ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 mother board (NForce 4 with integrated GeForce 6100 video) and a stick of 512MB Corsair ValueSelect RAM (VS512MB400). First sign was bios defaulted to 166MHz (DDR333) but everything booted fine. After getting XP loaded, I installed CPUZ to check out the RAM settings. As one would expect, it agreed with the BIOS settings of 166MHz. But most interesting, the SPD tab was totally blank. My guess is that either the SPD on this new module is corrupt or the bios/motherboard has an issue reading the SPD information. Any thoughts? I manually specified 200Mhz (DDR400) in the BIOS and things seem to be running fine. My guess the bios not being able to read the SPD defaulted to the slowest settings. A follow on question is what should the other default settings be for this memory module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 8, 2005 That's hard to say. But if the SPD was blank the system would not post! Can you test the module in another system? Intel based preferably just to make sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
