Xenx Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I've been finding that whenever I try to run this ram at 1066, I'm lucky if the system even posts. More often than not, it appears to get stuck in an OC recovery loop. I have tried this at stock CPU speeds for my 6300, with the ram voltage at 2.2v. I'm finding if I lower the speed down to about 975mhz it will start loading consistently. I am truly uncertain if I ever had the ram running at the correct speeds. I noticed this one day when I saw the ram was running at 800mhz. If at any point in time the ram was in fact running correctly, it would have been before I upgraded the bios to P26 (and now to P27). I'm currently looking for any ideas about what I could do to fix this problem. I haven't run memtest as of yet. I am currently running Orthos on blend. I am at an hour, so far. I am currently running the RAM in sync mode which is running the ram at 933mhz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 13, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 13, 2007 To see if the RAM functions correctly try the following settings: Memory Voltage: 2.2v CPU FSB Voltage: 1.4v nForce SPP Voltage: 1.55v SLI-Ready: Disabled(this has nothing to do with the graphics SLI config, don't get confused) FSB Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked FSB(QDR) MHZ: 1067MHZ MEM (DDR) MHZ: 1067MHZ Memory Timings: Expert TCL: 5 TRCD: 5 TRP: 5 TRAS: 15 Command RAte: 2T All other timings on Auto.

Xenx Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Ok, so the advice didn't solve the problem. I decided to revert back to P25 to be certain whether 1066 worked back then. I am now, barring stability testing, running at 1066. I don't expect any trouble, as with P27 I couldn't even post at 1066. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenx Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ok, so I was wrong. I left my system up running Orthos when I went to work. When I got home, I had a BSOD waiting for me. Upon trying to restart my computer, it failed to post, and tripped the failed OC switch. I tried to boot again with the memory at 1066, without any success. I then cleared the CMOS and tried again. The computer booted up, but crashed again. Again, it wouldn't post at 1066. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 18, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 18, 2007 Please test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and lets make sure one is not failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenx Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ok, I was able to run one module at 1066 with a multitude of errors. After which, I was unable to get them to completely post at 1066. I was able to get through a couple passes at 1060 on one module, and at 1057 on the other module. I combined the two again, and was able to get it to test for a few hours at 1055. I currently have it at 9hrs stable in Orthos as well, as I needed windows up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenx Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 I filled out the RMA form on Saturday, I believe. I wouldn't expect to get a response over the weekend on it, but I would have figured there would be one by now. Do I need to fill out the form again?
