TN Bob Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 The Abit KN9 motherboard is not on the memory configurator. Should I purchase XMS2 5400C4 or 6400C4 memory for this system using AMD X2 4200+? What should the voltage be set at for 4-4-4-12 timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 18, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 18, 2006 Got to go with 6400C4 to utilize the potential of the motherborad. If overclocking 8500C5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursfan Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hi Ram guy, I just built a system that is using this same exact MB. I bought the TWIN2XP2048-6400C4. Loading of Windows went fine but a few files that I downloaded are giving me wierd errors. I am suspecting the memory here. I have the defaults loaded: DRAM clock: DDR2 800 DQS Timing training: Skip DQS CKE Base Power Down Mode: Enabled CKE Base Power Down by: Channel Memclock tri-stating: disabled Tutr Command delay: 3 clocks Trfc 0 for DIMM1: 105 ns Trfc 1 for DIMM2: 75 ns Trfc 2 for DIMM3: 75 ns Trfc 3 for DIMM4: 75 ns Write recovery time: 6 clocks Precharge time: 2 clocks Row cycle time: 23 clocks RAS to CAS delay: 5 clocks RAS to RAS delay: 3 clocks Row precharge time: 5 clocks Min. Ras Act-time: 18 clocks Cas Latency: Auto Command Rate: Auto Memory Hole Remapping: Enabled Auto Optimize Bottom IO: Enabled Please let me know if I need to change some of these settings. Thanks in advance for your help. BTW, I did run Memtest twice and they both passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 20, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 20, 2006 You can follow the link in my signature and any setting not listed should be set to Bios default and I would set the memory voltage to 2.1 Volts!

djdevon3 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I am building a new AM2 system with the ABIT KN9 NF4 Ultra and AMD 3000+. I have everything I need except memory and a PSU. Just going with a cheapy cpu and gpu till Vista launches in Feb. I plan on going to a high end dual-core 5200 and DX10 compatible card. Wondering what the best 2gb solution would be for me. ABIT doesn't list Corsair as an officially compatible solution. Here's the official list. The page says it supports 533, 667, 800, and 900. My product box and manufacturer recommends 800. What's the best ram for me if I'm a daily online clan competitive gamer? I've had friends that have actually burned processors and motherboards so I've never done overclocking out of sheer fear of burning something. Just looking for a solid stock solution for my new AM2 Vista DX10 gaming rig. Does Corsair have something for me or should I stick with ABIT's recommended manufacturers? If so what do you suggest?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 28, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 28, 2006 Are you planning on over clocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdevon3 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 No, I have no desire to overclock. I just don't feel comfortable doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 29, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 29, 2006 I would suggest our Twin2x2048-6400C4 for best price and performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdevon3 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Well I finally got my system built and did purchase the ram you recommended. It's showing up as 5-7-9 and 1.3v. I upped the voltage to 2.1 and tried messing with the RAS, CAS, Tras, TRC but can't get it to 4-4-4-12. The ram works fine. Just haven't figured out how to set my timings. I'm coming from an MSI board so all these new timing options in the abit phoenix bios are beyond me. I can't find anything online that will show me how to properly adjust my timings. The extent of documentation at abit says "and adjust your timings to..." well yeah ok you have to know how to do that first to get anywhere productive. CPU-z says: RAS# Precharge: 5 clocks Cycle Time (Tras): 7 clocks Bank Cycle time (Trc): 9 clocks DRAM Idle Timer: 0 clocks FSB DRAM: CPU/13 Frequency: 139.1 MHz Bios says: DRAM Clock: DDR2 800 TwTr Command Delay: 3 clocks Write Recovery Time (Twr): 6 clocks Precharge Time (Trtp): 2 clocks Row Cycle Time (Trc): 23 clocks RAS to CAS Delay (Trcd): 5 clocks RAS to RAS Delay (Trrd): 3 clocks Row Precharge Time (Trp): 5 clocks Min. RAS Act-Time (Tras): 18 clocks Cas Latency: Auto ...I did move to 4 when messing around Command Rate: Auto edit: aha nevermind. i manually flashed my bios to rev 1.8 from 1.2 and magically everything showed up. no wonder that stuff didn't make sense. now it looks like something i can work with. silly me didn't do a flash after install. it has been a whole year since i started putting my parts together. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
