PulpZx Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Is anybody running TWIN2X2048-6400C4 with the Intel DG965WH motherboard. I used the memory configurator to find this memory selection. Is this combination really combatible? Will it work without a dought? The specs from the intel website say to use 1.8v only. But I have noticed the memory is 2.1V Should I trust the Corsair memory configurator ?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainwave Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Initially my DG965WH with Twin2x2048-6400 5-5-5-12 1.9v RAM booted and ran fine. I have read that the latest Intel BIOS automatically detects 1.8v or 1.9v RAM. Therefore, I updated the BIOS to 1176 successfully. After that I benchmarked with 3DMark05. Then the machine would not start. Fans twitched every few seconds. I tried many things including clearing CMOS but no good. I have read similar stories on other forums. Therefore, I do not believe this board is compatible with this RAM. I am planning to RMA board and try again with Corsair Value RAM 677 1.8v.

PulpZx Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 I almost bought that Ram. I cancelled the order at the last horn blow. I am actually running some 533 Value Ram that I borrowed from a friend. I want to go with PC-6400 when I purchase my own. I just do not know which PC-6400 is safe to buy for this motherboard. I don't mind paying more, but I want good performance for my Dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 25, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 25, 2006 Unless you have the option to set the memory Voltage I would wait till we replease DDR2-800 Value Select modules, other wise I would suggest VS2GBKit667D2 for that MB.
