Texran Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 i have the 8500c5 and i can't use the sli function as it reads not detected and is shaded out with the defaults loaded. i have tried raising the voltage to 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 but still won't detect sli ready memory i tried installing ntune with the bios defaults loaded and checking the option in there but it wouldn't take, have since removed ntune i previously used asus p5n32-sli 590 premium and the sli function was not detected on it either which is why i moved to this board is it bad ram or am i missing something evga nforce 680i motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 We have some 680i MOBOs in the lab. I'll ask the lab guys to take a look. Can you please list all of your bios settings for voltages, CPU, and memory as well as what bios version you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texran Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 evga 680i with p-20 bios everthing default except the memory voltage which is set at 2.2 timings are set at optimal, current value reads 5-5-5-18 i have tried setting them by hand using the same timings even though everything i read they should be 5-5-5-15 and still i'm unable to get the sli-ready memory detected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an entirely different set of memory so the fix for Texran does not apply to your specific memory. Do you have the latest bios from BFG loaded?

danchik Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 yes I just reflashed it again to P05 to be sure and it did not change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danchik Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 this is the last bios update I put in: (from bfg site): BFGRINF680iLTS BIOS Update Version: P05 Posting Date: 7/13/2007 File Size: 637KB Adds support for Kentsfield 1333MHz FSB CPUs <download link> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Not sure why it would not see the EPP profiles. When in the OS, can you look at the system with the latest version of CPU-Z and see what is shows under the SPD tab? Also, you mayt want to try clearing the CMOS and booting with only 1 module. Have you cleared the CMOS since your last flash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 14, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 14, 2007 Only our Domiantor modules would be SLI ready, so that will not be an option with XM2S-6400C5DHX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danchik Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 is there a significante benefit in getting the SLI ready version? (running 2 8800 GT)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 None at all. SLi Ready for DRAM just means that one can enable this setting on Nvidia boards and possibly get the board to set the correct speed and timing parameters. If you set them manually, there is no difference. The DRAM is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danchik Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 would you be kind to mention some of the settings? (the system hangs sometimes when default settings in bios loaded) and wont even boot to bios untill I remove one of the memory cards. Then, after going to bios (and not rly doing anything) it boots again with the second 2gs in... happens ones every couple of boots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bounhair Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi, Please help My Asus striker extreme mobo does not detect my SLI ready memory (8500C5D). I have set every thing default & did tried to raised memory voltage to 2.2 but nothing happen. My computer spec as follow: Asus Striker Extreme Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Corsair 8500C5D (x2 two GB module = 4GB) x2 Asus EN8800GT SLI Window Vista 32bit x2 Western Digital 70GB (RAID 0). x1 Seagate 320GB Toughpower 750 Thank you so much for your help.

Yellowbeard Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 First, in many cases, a MOBO will not detect the SLI Ready EPP profiles when you are using 4 modules. You will need to set the memory manually to the specified timings and voltages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounhair Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi, Thank you so much for quick responded I have set the memory timming & voltage manually as you mention. Mem speed 1066 tcl (cas latency) 5 tRCD 5 tRP 5 tRAS 15 Command Per Clock (CMD) 2Clock Mem Voltage 2.200V The rest of the setting is default, but my mother board still said "SLI Memory Not Detected". There is a setting call "SLI Broadcast Aperture" & "Nvidia GPU Ex" should I enable it for my mobo to detect SLI Mem? Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 29, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 We do not offer a 2.0 Gig 8500C5 module, are you saying that you have 4 1.0 Gig modules installed? If so then that is correct you would need to disable SLI Ready Memory and set the settings manually to Cas 5-5-5-15 at 2.1 Volts at DDR800.

bounhair Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yes I have four 1.0 gb module installed. So is that mean that i have to set the mem speed manually & the bios will not detect SLI mem is that correct? What if i only have two 1.0gb memory install will my mobo dectect mem as sli memory or do i have set something? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 29, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 Did you purchase w Twin2x sets? And they will only run one set at a time in SLI ready memory Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounhair Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi, Yes i purchase the 2GB set (two 1GB stick of 8500C5D), & I just bought another 2GB (two 1GB stick of 8500C5D) set so now i have 4 GB total of memory. Please help thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounhair Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Now that I have 4GB total of memory is that mean that it wont run as SLI mode am i correct? SLI memory mode only run on one set of memory (8500CD5) is that right? or other word if i want to run my mem in SLI mode then i have to remove 1 set of my memory? if so which is better 1 set of memory in SLI mode or 4GB in NONE SLI mode? Thank you so much RAM GUY, you have been a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
