AJ²06 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 OK... I got some new ram, they are: Two 512Mb CMX512-3200C2PRO with timings of 2.5-3-3-6. My games keept crashing to desktop, or sometimes even bluescreens so Im runnin them at 3-3-3-8 (2.7volts) 200mhz (400ddr) and dunno whats wrong with these. Anyone else have issues with these? Im really frustrated with these right now... :mad: I also have 2x512Mb Kingston HyperX PC4000 and when I put those in my system works just fine... BTW I also tried these Corsair ones in my brother's rig and thsy also crashed... no matter what timmings...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 3, 2006 This is a chipset limitation. If the FSB of your CPU is 400 For Intel and 100 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports only DDR 266. If the FSB of your CPU is 533 For Intel and 133/166 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 266/333 If the FSB of your CPU is 800 MHz for Intel and 200 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 333/400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ²06 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Your CPU doesn't though. http://www.c627627.com/AMD/AthlonXP/ 166 Mhz FSB Well... the 2500+ cpu is the one that overclocks to 2.2GHz (11x200) with no problem...on the same voltage... so thats what I did and I have the memory running in sync witht he fsb (1:1)... so thats not the issue here.. :) My overclock is ROCK solid.... its the memory or some other option thats causing me problems...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 4, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 4, 2006 Test the modules one at a time to maker sure one is not failing and if you get errors with both modules that might suggest your Over Clock is just not possible, but I would suggest testing the modules in a known working system that is not over clocked to be sure.
