jwhee0615 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I currently have the TWINX1024-3200LLPT modules that are used with an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe MB and have received an RMA to replace them since I am having issues and memtest has shown errors on both. I understand Corsair is going to replace them with TWINX1024-3200XLPT since the LLPT modules are out of production. My question is how do the modules compair to the LLPT and are they equal to or better with regard to performance especially with my motherboard? also is it possible to have the two 512 modules replaced with one 1024 module so I can then purchase an additional 1024 Corsair stick? How does this work RAMGUY? Thanks for any info Jeff
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 18, 2006 Corsair Employee Posted September 18, 2006 XMS3200XLis a faster module than XMS3200LL and no you cannot mix memoru especially 1.0 gig and 512 Meg modules!
jwhee0615 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 could i purchase another pair for a total of 2gigs of RAM and have it work right? I run a few games and do alot of work in Photoshop CS 2
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 18, 2006 Corsair Employee Posted September 18, 2006 Yes but I doubt that you would get 4 modules to run at Cas 2-2-2-5!
jwhee0615 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 I want to make sure you understood me correctly. I didnt want to mix ram. I wanted to have my old pair of 512 sticks that will be RMA'd replaced with a single 1024 stick. I dont know if Corsair does this. I would like to use just two modules of RAM with a total of 2048 of ram.
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 19, 2006 Corsair Employee Posted September 19, 2006 No I am sorry we can only replace them for the same part# that you send in, but you can sell them if you like and buy new memory.
jwhee0615 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 Will four 512 sticks of the same part # perform as well with my motherboard as two 1024 sticks?
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 19, 2006 Corsair Employee Posted September 19, 2006 No I have been trying to say No it will not since the second post. Its best with 2 modules in any MB for performance.
jwhee0615 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Posted July 14, 2007 I am having problems now with my computer and I am trying to determine if it is RAM related. Looking back on this thread when it was originated I have to revise it and say that the RAM that was sent to me to replace the defective sticks were 2 sticks of CMX512-3500LLPRO XMS3502 V1.1. Other identifying numbers are 0620004-0 and 100311043 and 04 on the other stick. My problems are that I have been experiencing ever increasing complete system reboots when playing games. I can play anywhere from 1 min to about 10 and then the screen will freeze or go black, sound may start to loop and the system automatically restarts. The LED's on the ram get maxed out in the red, If that really indicates anything. Also system seems to be more sluggish than when I had the previous modules. Games played are COD 1 and 2, BF 2, IL2 1946, FSX and i have especially nasty crashes on Farcry. I am also unclear as to the timings and setting for my P4C800-E Deluxe MB w/PIV 3.0Ghz processor. RAM is labeled 2.3.2.6 but I have seen others listed on the forum. Please tell me what I can do to diagnose this problem and figure out if it is related to RAM. Thank you for your help.
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 18, 2007 Corsair Employee Posted July 18, 2007 Please make sure that you have the latest Bios version and then load setup/optimized defaults and set the Dim Voltage to 2.75 volts and then and then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, then test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org! If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them one up and or in another system or MB to be sure. In addition, with some MB's (Mostly ASUS) you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test.
