Recommended Posts

I already have 2nd pair of modules with one of them bad. With one module from 1st pair system even doesn't starts, and now i have a pair where 1 module have many errors in memtest86+

 

In both pairs i tried to set manual timings and vdimm no results.

Timings i used: 5-5-5-12 , 5-5-5-15 , 5-5-5-18 5-6-6-18.

Vdimm: 1.8 , 1.9 , 2.0 , 2.1.

Config in profile.

 

p.s. first pair i also tested on other system with NB 865(Gigabyte) , cpu something like 3.0 p4.

That might suggest some other problem as all of our modules are tested on a MB at their rated speed before they leave our factory! In addition, if the system you have listed in your signature is the system you are using the PSU you have is not enough for the Video card you have listed and may be compounding the issue.

This is a very good psu , with realy output with 360 wt's. It's like china's 600 -700 wt PSU's

 

video review on google http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7175303471491061300

Their system p5w dh deluxe , e6400 @ 3.2Ghz , his 1650 video , 2x wd raptor in raid 0 , dvd-rw , x-fi snd card.

 

By the way metest86+ don't use video card :D

and overall power consumption for 7900gs abot 50 wt's in load.

 

Like i wrote in other system (mb,cpu) i use other PSU 400wt hec, and other video x1600 gigabyte.

 

Any ideas ?

 

ohh i forgot ... how you explain

That might suggest some other problem
if other module in each pair work's fine ? And 2nd , also single installed don't work , or work with errors ? without first module that's work fine ?

Video cards that use a lot of power may generate errors in memtest if the PSU is starving to provide power to the system and if you are getting errors in test 5,6,7 or 8 I would suggest another PSU to test with. But I have no probelm replacing your modules if you want to try that, but from what you have posted I would suspect some other problem. Please use the RMA request found in TSXpress or follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! And please note that you are from the forum!

i tested them more ...

on lower frequences no errors on two modules with any timings.

On 800mhz work with stock timings only one module ,and with timings 5-6-6-18-15-25-15-25 vdimm 1.9

work two modules in pair or single. (only one pass in memtest86+ , i test them more later)

But i think it's not normal.

tomorrow i test memory on other system (athlon am2 3200+, 550 nforce)

 

And if there was errors on stock values (800mhz,5-5-5-15/vdimm1.9) i sent it to our managers for warranty change.

 

p.s. in first pair one module hangs system on POST screen. i tried all from 1st message and other system like i wrote.
