NFG Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 According to the Corsair memory selector, VS1GBKIT400 should work with this motherboard. Following installation I got black screen no post and a continuous beeping. Replacing the old ram & Del to enter the bios I find it accepts either C2 or C2.5 ram at 200 or 266 MHz. However the ram I obtained is DDR400C3. I understand that the speed should not be an issue as it is backward compatible to slower speeds, the correct CAS speed being my concern. I had a look at ASUS web site and support for this board is non existant, but have obtained a manual My question is should this ram work or should I RMA for a replacement and if so, which one do I specify? VS1GBKIT400C2.5 looks like a possibility. Thanks in advance N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 If it runs at 2.0 or 2.5 fine, don't worry! That's better than 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFG Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Perhaps I diddnt make it clear, the ram runs at C3 & the motherboard options are C2 or C2.5 Hence all I get is a black screen with no post & beeping N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 19, 2005 I would set the timings manually to Cas 2.5-3-3-7 and set the memory frequency if you have that option to DDR266 and the system should post and run the modules.
