Don Junker Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi, I have an Asus A8V deluxe motherboard and I am considering buying new RAM. Do anyone know if the board is compatible with the Corsair CMX512-4000 (TWINX) RAM? The plan is to have 2x512 MB in dual mode. The motherboard manual recommend only up to PC3200 RAMs but I think I've read that some have had succes with having PC4000 ram for this mobo. Would there be any benefits in having PC4000 compared to PC3200 with this board, or is there a bottleneck? Hope I can get help here, as I'm a little noobish in this field :) Cheers Don Junker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonKrmr Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 That memory should work with that M/B but unless you plan to overclock your cpu, you don't need it. The PC4000 ram would only run at its rated speed if you overclocked the cpu's front side bus. That would raise the memory clock also. You would find the FSB speed / memory divider combo that would let the PC4000 ram run at its rated speed. If you do not plan to overclock your cpu, then PC3200 ram would be all you need.

Don Junker Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 thank you very much for the answer :): I think I'll buy the RAMs then as I have got a relative cheap offer. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 11, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 11, 2007 If you don't over clock the CPU I would just set the memory Voltage at 2.7 Volts and set the timings to Cas 3-3-3-8 at 2T and they will run great on that MB.

Don Junker Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 thank you m8. I normally do use the 10% automatic overclock mode of the board, any recommendations if I do that? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 11, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 11, 2007 Set the memory Voltage to 2.8 Volts and if you have problems try and set the NB Chipset Voltage to +.05 Volts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
