sala_test Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi to all, i have 2 x TwinX1024-3200XLPT same revision v1.2 for a total of 4 x 512Mb Ram Modules. My system is: Mobo: Abit IC7-G bios rev. 2.8 CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.2Ghz Video Card: Gainward Geforce 6800 Ultra 256Mb Audio Card: Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty And some other device... The problemi is this: If i use a single pair of modules for a total of 1Gb, memtest gives me no error i tested all memory on all banks with same result, them works great at 2-3-3-6 (i can't set that to 2-2-2-5 due to chipset lack) pat enabled and so on.. If i try to use it all together memtest+ give me allways an error at address 253.8 at test 4, i have tried all voltages and timings i can't understand what is the problem. (p.s. pat can't be enabled at all) Some one can help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 31, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 31, 2006 You may have to run at slower timings when installing 4 modules. Try 2.5-3-3-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tested 2.5-3-3-7 yet, but i have that problem at 3-4-4-8 also... I can't understand why 4 modules disable PAT and why them fail at the same damn bit at test 4. I want to cry if i think that my friends with unbranded modules 2x1gb (thats cost 1/4 of my modules) haven't any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 1, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 1, 2006 Running 2 x 1GB and 4 x 1GB is a different scenario. Some chipsets/memory controllers may need to run at slower timings when more banks are occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't 4 modulels of 1 Gb, i have 4 modules of 512Mb all corsair 2-2-2-5 rev 1.2 Now it's clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Regardless of the amount, Ram Guy's point is still valid. With more sticks to work with, the memory controller works harder, and as such, the timings may need to be reduced. Also, they're not tested 4 at a time, so the 2-2-2-5 guarantee isn't valid for more than one TwinX pair. What voltage are you running the memory at?
