shaqattack13 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi everyone, I just bought the Corsair 512MB VS512MB400 3200 DDR RAM and it is running at 2700. I have 2 sticks of 256 MB RAM that came with the computer and they are also PC 3200. when I have all Three sticks in at the same time my mobo says im running at 2700. when I take the two 256 MB sticks out and put the new corsair memory in it runs at 3200. What could be the problem with all three sticks in at the same time? I have an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ with four RAM slots. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 5, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 5, 2006 If you use more than 2 double sided modules the AMD 64 CPU memory controller will by default set the memory to run at DDR333 this is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfiend131 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I have this same issue as well......is it impossible to run 4 sticks of ram at 400 on an amd board....or is single sided ram available? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Unfortunately, the only single-sided sticks of DDR1 RAM that Corsair currently makes are the 256MB modules. All of Corsair's 512MB and 1GB DDR1 modules are double-sided.

Thanks. No, you have a different issue (he's got 3 sticks, you've got 4). SOME of the Athlon64 memory controllers can handle 4 sticks @ 400 Mhz (very loosened timings though).

snowfiend131 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well a week ago I had two double sided sticks running at 400. Now I have four double sided sticks running at 333. I am running a amd 64 3000 on a soltek motherboard. I don't see anything in the bios to force the ram to run at 400. Any sugestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
