Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 24, 2006 Did you try and reset the bios and then load setup defaults and set the memory Voltage to +.2 Volts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossY_DoG Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 ok, i have set the voltage to +.2 and still no good. i have the latest Bios (F11). there are 2 options for Ram - Auto or Custom - if i set to Custom, there are a load of options to set, any chance of a full rundown as to what each should be. I have tried 3 CPU's (just cos i had them) also some value ram that does work in duel. so this is either a setting i am missing, or faulty Ram :( Please Help.....

Wired Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 How many sticks do you have? What's the version # of each stick? How To Read the Memory Label Timings: CAS Latency (tCL): 2 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3 Row Precharge (tRP): 3 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6 Command Rate: Memory Voltage: 2.7-2.8 Volts (Warrantied up to, but not over, 2.90 volts) All other settings to defaults.

If you use only one stick or three sticks, your system's memory controller will be forced to run in single-channel-only mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
