Subw00er Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 MB: Intel D975xbx2 Memory: TWIN2X2048-6400C3DF 2gig pack Processor: 6600 2.4 ghz Video: eVGA 8800gts Power Supply: Antec 550watt Hello. I am new to overclocking and changing memory configs and I was wondering if someone could offer some assistance. I installed the memory on this machine and it is posting as 5-5-5-18 in the bios so it looks like it using the JEDEC standard. I know this memory suports 3-4-3-9 and I think the xbx2 supports epp so shouldnt it make it 3-4-3-9 by default? Maybe I'm confused here on what epp is/does. So is it ok to change these settings manually in the bios? I have heard horror stories of poeple not being able to boot after so I thought it wise to ask first. I looked in my bios quick and it looks like you just select the manual setup and put in the 3-4-3-9 values and select 2.4v...right? If anyone would be so kind as to give this newbie a step by step for configuring the memory I would be GREATLY appreciated. ------------ Couple other quick questions: -I dont want to install the fans for noise reasons. My case is very cool, should I worry about leaving the fan module out? -Can anyone recommend a good newb resource to overlcocking the 6600 processor? I guess it has the capability to overclock safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascaly Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 From what I've learned, E.P.P is only supported on motherboard(s) based on the nVidia 680i chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoxxy Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yes it is ok to change these settings manually. That would be the best choice in your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subw00er Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 FYI, I bought the memory and a week later the modules died. RMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 13, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 13, 2007 Please manually set the timings to the following and test each module one at a time: Do not use EPP Profile DRAM Voltage: 2.4v MCH Voltage: 1.5v TCL: 3 TRCD: 4 TRP: 3 TRAS: 9 All other timings at default values or Auto.

Subw00er Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I already sent the kit back for a refund. The machine wouldnt even post - just three beeps. I installed other memory and it booted fine.. Strange! I ordered some of your xms2 memory this time.. Hopefully its more stable. If it also fails, I'm going back to Cru c ial memory. BTW, why doesnt the memory auto-set the speeds? Isnt this the point of that little chip on the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
