davidsinaus Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I have a single pair of TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX in a new Asus P5KC motherboard. I have the DIMM voltage manually adjusted to 2.1v as has been suggested here on the forum. If I leave everything else set to "Auto", I have some amount of stability (i.e. the system only spontaneously reboots once every three days or so). However, if I start trying to make any other changes (e.g. manually setting the timing values to 5-5-5-15, but making no other changes), I completely lose stability (i.e. it won't even make it into Vista). The board seems to detect the RAM timings at 6-5-5-9 (at least that's what comes up when I take it off "Auto"), but that is incorrect based on the docs on the Corsair website. I don't think I have a RAM issue, as itwas working perfectly with my previous system. I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer. I'm ready to throw the board through the window.

DerekT Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 This motherboard is known to be wonky with higher end dram. You might wish to contact ASUS on this event. Google P5KC Reboot Problems and you will see that you are not alone. My advice? Return the board and purchase a P5K-E board. You issues will be over and you will not have to run around trying to get this board to work correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 8, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 8, 2007 Please make sure that you have the latest bios and load setup defaults and then set the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure one is not failing. If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to be sure. In addition, with some MB's (Mostly ASUS) you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsinaus Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 I ran memtest86 for twelve hours yesterday with both modules with the settings at Auto. No problems there. I'll try setting the timings manually today and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
