gigabyte and Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB (2x XMS2 1GB)

[neon2k6]

hi,

 

I have a gigabyte ga-g33-ds3r mainboard.

I have the latest bios.

 

the memory i bought is (this is what was on the sellers webiste):

Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB (2x XMS2 1GB) Twin2X PC-6400 DDR2 RAM, 2x240-pin DIMMs, Non ECC, Unbuffered, 4-4-4-12, 64Mx8 DRAMs.

 

my questions are:

I can set the latency to 4-4-4-12.

And the memory works.

but what do i set the other values to (the ones below the 4 4 4 & 12-see image).

It does not tell me what voltage the memory is currently running at, is there a program i can use to check.

What should the the voltage be set to.

 

a picture of the bios screen i'm talking about can be seen here:

thanks in advance,

Neon.

Yes those are correct but you need to set the memory Voltage to +.3 Volts as well.

did you mean here like this:

what about the warning message about may damage ram (i circled it in red) ?

 

thanks,

Neon.

Yes that is the correct setting for those modules.

The Spec for DDR2 is 1.8 Volts and the modules you have are rated at a higher voltage.

hi,

 

 

i keep getting read errors from different programs before they crash.

 

see here

 

Also the pc has been running slow, very slow to respond, and very slow to recover when exiting programs ?

 

giga-byte just said to try memory out before i buy to see which is stable.

Like a lot of people i dont own a computer shop, so this isn't realy an option.

 

please help.

Did you set the memory Voltage to +.3 Volts and test them with http://www.memtest.org?
