SiME Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi guys, I am having problems with my memory. I have a 4400+ x2 and have tried 10x 250mhz fsb and 200mhz memory and it wont work. If I clock the memory to 166Mhz and run 10x 250Mhz FSB 2500mhz it works ok but sometimes still gets errors. I have also tried upping the voltage to 2.8v on the memory and it makes no differance. Also have disabled usb legacy, and have the chipset set at 4x and 16 x 16. I have also tried 9x 250mhz fsb with the memory set to 200mhz and still no go it just wont boot and if it does it locks up memtest after only a few minutes. Any help would be much appreciated! cheers sime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiME Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 To Clarify what I said above.. This setup wont work it will lock up and wont boot 99% of the time... Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 10x Memory Divider: 200MHz DRAM Frequency: 250MHz CPU Frequency: 2500MHz This will work and boot with no errors in memtest... Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 10x Memory Divider: 166MHz DRAM Frequency: 208.3MHz CPU Frequency: 2500MHz This setup wont work it will lock up and wont boot 99% of the time... Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 9x Memory Divider: 200MHz DRAM Frequency: 250MHz CPU Frequency: 2250MHz This will work and boot with no errors in memtest... Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 9x Memory Divider: 166MHz DRAM Frequency: 204.5MHz CPU Frequency: 2250MHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 23, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 23, 2006 I would set the HTT Freq to 3 and test the modules one at a time 8-9 X 250 and see if you get the same results with the modules running one up! Also what do you have the CPU VCore set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiME Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi RAMGUY, So far i have tested with two sticks in dual channel... Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 8x Memory Divider: 200MHz DRAM Frequency: 250MHz CPU Frequency: 2000MHz CPUVolts: 1.38v set in bios (CPUID reports as 1.44v) chipset: 4x (I will lower to 3x and test again) 3-4-4-8 1T (Should I be running at 1T?) 2.75v ram Locked up memtest after 11mins :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 23, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 23, 2006 Test the modules one at a time and you should have the Commad Rate set to auto or 2T. Locking up in memtest would suggest the over clock is too much for your system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiME Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 RAM GUY: The cpu is a amd x2 4400+ (2200MHz stock) and i have underclocked it to 2000mhz and its still locking up in memtest so I think we can rule out overclocking as the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 24, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 24, 2006 So you are running it at 200 X 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiME Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 RAM GUY: I have just done some more testing.... Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 8x Memory Divider: 200MHz DRAM Frequency: 250MHz CPU Frequency: 2000MHz CPUVolts: 1.38v set in bios (CPUID reports as 1.44v) chipset: 3x 3-4-4-8 2T 2.75v ram System will not boot at all with two sticks in dual channel. Next I will test with only one stick at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiME Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 So you are running it at 200 X 10? I have been running it at the following spec with no problems but want to run the ram at its rated speed of 250mhz. Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 10x Memory Divider: 180MHz DRAM Frequency: 227.27 MHz Memory Divider: 11 CPU Frequency: 2500MHz CPU Volts: 1.38v HTT Multiplyer: 4x HT Link: 1000MHz 3-4-4-8 1T 2.70v This setup works fine, boots everytime, ran memtest for 10hrs with not 1 error. Also tested with SuperPi SSE, 3DMark05 and Prime95 with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 24, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 24, 2006 I would try and lower your over clock to like 220 MHz X 10 and see if the system is more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiME Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 I would try and lower your over clock to like 220 MHz X 10 and see if the system is more stable. The system is stable at this speed with these timings and speed and I have run a 10 hour mem test with no errors, 3dmark05 tests prime95 tests and super pi tests and it was 100% stable. Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 10x Memory Divider: 180MHz DRAM Frequency: 227.27 MHz Memory Divider: 11 CPU Frequency: 2500MHz CPU Volts: 1.38v HTT Multiplyer: 4x HT Link: 1000MHz 3-4-4-8 1T 2.70v As soon as I set the DRAM frequency to 250MHz the system will not post or boot. I have tried many settings with no success. Next I will test one stick at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 25, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 25, 2006 Please test them one at a time and lets make sure one is not failing, but it sounds like the system is just topping out! And have you tried the latest beta bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiME Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 RAM GUY, the CPU is definatly not topping out as It wont even boot at 2000MHz and its a 2200MHz cpu! I have tried 3 BIOS versions now, they are 1009, 1103 and the latest 1205 and they all have the same result. The setup below will not post or boot its like the system is dead and thats with the mem running at 250MHz which is what the sticks are supposedly rated too. Refrence Clock: 250MHz Multiplyer: 8x Memory Divider: 200MHz DRAM Frequency: 250MHz CPU Frequency: 2000MHz (Stock speed is 2200MHz) CPUVolts: 1.38v set in bios (CPUID reports as 1.44v) chipset: 3x 3-4-4-8 2T 2.75v ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 26, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 26, 2006 Please test the modules one at a time! It’s not clear to what the problem is because you say the system works fine. When you under clock the memory like this: Reference: Clock: 250MHz Multiplier: 10x Memory Divider: 180MHz You take loading off of the CPU and it will clock higher than it will running one to one. So Again please test the modules one at a time and see how high you can get running one up the system should be able to hit about 265 or so if its not the CPU.
