mthrck Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Heya, I understand this question has been asked many times, I just want to be sure that I'm doing the right thing before tinkering with the timings. (I've never done this before, sorry.) I'm running an ASUS P5N-E SLI, C2D E6750, 8800GTS and TWIN2X2048-6400C4. I had many crashes when installing XP with both sticks in, but managed to get it installed with 1. I got various memtest errors even with one stick in, but sadly I couldn't access the internet so I returned my RAM before I found this website and could tinker with the timings. So I just wanted to know the exact timings and voltages I should be changing when my replacements arrive.. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 http://www.corsairmemory.com/_datasheets/TWIN2X2048-6400C4.pdf 4,4,4,12 and 2.1v. All other settings should remain at MOBO defaults. If I had to guess, you original problem was voltage. Did you set the voltage to 2.1v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthrck Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Nope I didn't change any settings. The only other memory I've ever used before was automatically picked up by my old motherboard. Are the 4,4,4,12 obvious settings once I'm in the memory options in the bios? What's T1, T2? I've seen this on alot of threads regarding the same combination, but not sure what it means. Thanks again. ps. There's currently a Postal strike here in the UK, so I won't be testing it untill sometime next week :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 1T and 2T refers to command rate. In this case, I'd suggest leaving it at whatever the bios default is. And, yes, once you enter the memory timings section, you'll see the 4 timings listed along with several others. You'll want to leave the others at MOBO defaults. In this order: CAS Latency RAS to CAS Delay RAS Precharge Tras or Cycle Time The names may vary a little from board to board. For example they may use the letter "T" to denote time. Some boards call RAS Precharge TRP, or Time RAS Precharge as opposed to simply saying RAS Precharge. You'll figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoCrazy Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I am in the process of building a new system and wanted to ensure that everything was going to work OK here. I will be using the same ASUS P5N-E mobo and the CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-6400C4 memory. I will be running two sets of the memory for a total of 4GB. Will there be any problems with this? Should I just use the same timings listed above (4-4-4-12)? I have read on NewEgg that some people had problems running 4GB in this board until the BIOS was updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! =) Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I ran 4 of them just fine. However, with the 4 modules the NB gets VERY hot and the stock cooler is not very good IMO. I'd suggest upgrading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoCrazy Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 WOW!!! Quick reply, thank you. Do you have any suggestions on a cooling solution? I am building a system on NewEgg and want to make sure I can just put it together with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
