Intel D946GZIS and Corsair DDR2 667 VS

Greatings,

 

I was happily building my new system when out of sudden the windows instalation crashed miserably with a BSOD.

 

I couldn´t believe it was a memory issue. And it wasn´t, well not exactly.

The Intel D946GZIS board detected my pair of corsair vs sticks as DDR2 667 with timings 5-5-5-15. At this configuration nothing worked and memtest ended with red errors.

 

I manualy set it to DDR2 533 with timings 5-5-5-15 and everything is working now.

 

Is there anything i can do to possible get this combo running harmoniously @DDR667???

 

I atempted BIOS update with no avail to this issue.

 

Timings suggestions?

 

Any help?

 

Thanx in advance.

Thanks for the reply.

 

My cpu is a E6300 so its FSB runs at 1066 Mhz.

 

Unfortunately the Intel BIOS doesn´t allow me to set the voltage. I also looked for jumpers and such to no avail.

 

I believe that would solve the problem but intel doesn´t like the idea.

 

I asked for a bios update at intel´s support site and everything that i got was an automatic reply.

 

I guess what is left to me is advice everybody to stick away of intel motherboards, they don´t like our ram.

ps-> if anything can be done please let me know

Well while i have to retain the memo @ 533 MHz i tightened the latency to 3-3-3-9, the boards max.

As we know the quality of corsair mem i had no problem and the system overall performance increased.

 

Superpi 2M went from 1m15 to 1m12 and memory bandwidth increased from 2250 MB/s to 2913 MB/s.

STAY AWAY FROM THE BIOS "BIOS Update 0047 [TS94610J.86A]" for this Intel Board.

It made the Corsair VS 667 not to run with ANY POSSIBLE settings!!!!!!!!:mad:

 

I don´t know maybe Corsair could use the right channels to make intel fix these annoying problems.

 

I´m trying to go back to "BIOS Update 0040 [TS94610J.86A]" which worcked with 533Mhz@3-3-3-9.

 

I´ll keep you posted.
