alg Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I have an Intel 875 MOBO Bios P10. I would like to upgrade to 2G RAM (x2 1024). What will plug and play without a bios upgrade ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwood49 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 1)Can you adjust your VDIMM to 2.9 volts? 2)Can you manually adjust your latency timmings? If your BIOS allows you to adjust both settings I would recomend the TWINX2084-3200C2 kit. If you can only adjust the VDIMM the TWINX2048-3200 or 3200C2 kit should work (whichever is cheaper in your store of choice.) Both use the standard latency timmings in their SPD tables so they should both plug'n play, the C2's just require a bit of 'tuning' before they run at their full potental. If you can't adjust both settings, you should get a ValueSelect Pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alg Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 P10 bios version supports mannual latency setting but I could not spot anywhere to alter the VDIMM/voltage. Just to double check, under which bios sub section does this option usually appear and/or how can i check the present voltage setting Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 14, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 14, 2006 With Intel MB's it will be under Frequency and Voltage control and there will be a setting like Burn in mode that you have to set to see the voltage.

alg Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Just so I understand correctly. If I cannot increase the VIMM. What XMS 3200 RAM can I actually install that will work without issue. Or do I have to increase the voltage ?? And if so which bios update do I need ? Oh and thanks Ram Guy but no voltage alteration option just frequency options under 'advanced' 'burn in mode' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 2, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 2, 2006 I would suggest VS2GBKit400C3 or Twinx2048-3200 if that is the case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alg Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Longtime after the event, however I purchased 1 PCS 302138 Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2 DDR-DIMM 2048MB. Can I increase the timings from the Intel stock settings 3-3-3-8 to 2-3-3-6 without raising the VDIMM to 2.9 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 You can try, but I doubt it. Didn't you read the posts in your own thread ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alg Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 You can try, but I doubt it. Didn't you read the posts in your own thread ??? I did actually, however I confused myself reading this review of my MoBo http://www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/intel-d875pbz/index3.htm which suggests the voltage can be raised to 2.75 which is the rating for the TWINX1024-3200C2 to deliver 2-3-3-6. I will double check the BIOS options again tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 27, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 27, 2008 Only the later versions of that MB will allow you to set the memory Voltage. but yes check in your BIOS and you will want to get the latest version I think it was P23 or newer.
