waldo22 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I have been running a TwinX 2GB kit CMX1024-3200C2 for almost 2 years now. I run an Opteron in an Asus A8N-VM board. So, I get back from vacation in July only to be greeted by a BSOD. System will POST, but can't load Windows. Won't load a CD-Based Linux distro either. Both just hang halfway through boot-up. I replaced the RAM with 2 sticks of "Value Select" I have lying around, and everything works just fine. (after replacing just about everything else :( ) Sounds like bad RAM to me. How about an RMA :) -Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 2, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 2, 2007 The XMS modules would not be recommended for your motherboard and we could not guarantee that they would be stable because you are unable to adjust the memory voltage in the BIOS. It is definitely possible that XMS parts would work at the default voltage however, we can only guarantee that these modules would function properly at 2.75v. If you would like to get them replaced, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part! Or “Tech Support Express” and we will be happy to replace them or it, please note that you are posting from the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I don't get it. I thought default voltage for DDR RAM is 2.5 Volts. I don't mess with the frequency of my memory, and obviously I'm not an overclocker, or I would have bought a board with adjustable mem voltage. Is the entire XMS line set from the factory to work at 2.75V ? I was just trying to buy the better, more stable RAM, and run it at stock settings, which I thought were 200MHZ FSB, 2.5V, CL2. What should I be doing, using Value Select RAM? Lemme know, Thanks, Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 2, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 2, 2007 Is the entire XMS line set from the factory to work at 2.75V ? All of our XMS DDR1 modules indeed have minimum Voltage requirements and most of our XM2S DDR2 modules as well. What should I be doing, using Value Select RAM? Please look up your system on our memory configurator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
