thingsarefun Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have to sticks of CMX512 3200C2PT that i need to RMA. These sticks have never been able to run at 400mhz like advertised both cause BSOD and both have failed memtest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Try testing them on a non-overclocked system (e.g. a 400 Mhz FSB CPU / mobo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingsarefun Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Uh.... they arn't overclocked they should run 400mhz. When set to Auto the mboard thinks they are 333mhz. Even at that setting i still get error messages and BOSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 7, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 7, 2005 That is a chipset limitation and with a 333FSB CPU you would need to run the memory at DDR 333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingsarefun Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Ok so your saying that this board is limited to 333mhz..... http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=6 I don't think so clearly states 400 FSB support in version 2.0 only And that still dosen't explain why they both fail memtest at 333mhz, running only one stick at a time.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 8, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 8, 2005 No I am saying it because of your CPU speed you are limited to DDR333. If you have a 166 Mhz or faster CPU the memory frequency will need to be set to 1-1 or at 100% in sync with the CPU. However, I have no problem replacing your modules if you like. Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
