und210 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I have a MSI K8NGM2-FID that I previously had 1 CMX512-3200C2PT in it with a Venice 3200 socket 939 overclocked to 2.5Ghz from 2.0Ghz. I decided that I needed more memory and wanted to run dual channel, so I purchased another CMX512-3200C2PT. Once I put both of these into dual channel mode my system acts very flakey. I have issues getting into the BIOS at times, and get memory errors in Windows. One module is v1.2 the other is v5.2. Any ideas how to get this system as stable with the overclock that I had running just one module? 1 module at 2.5Ghz timmings were 2-3-3-6 1T 2.55v 2 modules test ok with memtest at 2.4Ghz timmings are 3-3-3-8 1T 2.75v with random Windows memory erros occasionally. CPU spread spectrum disabled USB legacy disabled 333Mhz FSB HT set to 800 up and 800 down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, the Revision 1.1 and 1.2 modules do not like CAS 3 at all; they must be run at CAS 2.5 or tighter. Secondly, you could try to get the Revision 5.2 module replaced with a Revision 1.2 module - but unfortunately, Corsair's RMA will only replace a defective module with one that has the same part number, irrespective of the revision number. (In other words, if you RMA a CMX512-3200C2 module through Corsair, you'll get back a CMX512-3200C2 module back from them - and revision numbers will be ignored in the RMA process.) Therefore, the best way to run your system's memory controller in dual-channel mode is to just "mothball" your existing modules, and go with one TWINX1024-3200C2 kit (for 1GB total memory) or one TWINX2048-3200C2 kit (for 2GB total).

RSXHITMAN Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 im in similar position can you tell me how revision 3.1 and 5.1 mix in 4 x 512mb ? 2 twinx sets one 3.1 and one 5.1 its currently running at 2-3-3-6 at 207mhz, i have 5.1 now and have possibility of putting 3.1 in can you tell me how well these 2 revisions mix?
