Cold.Fusion Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi there, I'm currently running my system with 2 sticks of CMX512-3200C2 matched pairs. I want to upgrade to 2GB of memory, so that would be 4 sticks of CMX512-3200C2 populating all 4 slots. Now i read in my asus user's guide that the motherboard doesn't support all 4 slots being populated by my ram running in dual channel mode... Is this true? -Also- What's the best voltage to use with CMX512-3200C2, I'm OC'ing with a HTT of 240MHz and my timings are 2.5-3-3-5. Thanks.

Unfortunately, 4 sticks of double-sided memory modules will seriously hurt your overclocking capability. You may have to go with a memory clockspeed of 166MHz (DDR333/PC2700) or even 133MHz (DDR266/PC2100) if you run four double-sided sticks with your system.

Cold.Fusion Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Okay, that's a darn shame, then I guess I'll have to change my memory. What's the best type of corsair memory that I can get that's 512MB DS X4 to populate all 4 slots to equal 2 GB's that will work nicely on my Asus A8R-MVP MoBo and still be able to acheive my 240MHz HTT overclock? I turned my 3200+ Venice core into a 3800+ no problems what so ever, I didn't even have to buy a new heatsink. Gotta have that OC :) --EDIT-- Seeing as I have the Venice core doesn't it have a better memory controller to support 2 GB of ram in all 4 slots at DDR 400? Would I be better off with a kit of 1024MB SD (X2) to keep it at 400MHz? 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 I would suggest Twinx2048-4400 if you want to over clock to that frequency or Twinx2048-4000. There will be the same issues with any 512 Meg module no matter who makes it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold.Fusion Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Alright thanks for the advice, I'll go out and grab some Twinx2048-4000. That's DDR500 right? It's a shame the Asus A8R-MVP doesn't reach 250MHz HTT... correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not much of an overclocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 30, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 30, 2006 If you have not over clocked before I would encourage you to spend some time reading reviews and some over clocking forums to get a better Idea of what you might be facing!
