pzykotic Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I was not sure what an appropriate name for the thread would be so I just simply went with the serial number of the RAM, thought that would help keep things organized. Anyway, I'm using the TWIN2X2048-6400C4D as mentioned only I have them in a four gigabyte configuration. My motherboard is an ASUS (sigh...) M2N32-SLI-DELUXE (yeah yeah it's going into the garbage, I swear!). And I'm experiencing a lot reboots, lock-ups, crashes, data corruption and BSODs. I have ruled out insufficient power, overheating and everything else in the machine currently. I am going to run memtest soon but I thought I would ask here if anything glaring comes to mind when I mention this motherboard and these RAM modules. Someone told me that in four gig configurations the RAM needs to be run at a slower speed and lower voltage than normal? If that's true, that might be the problem since I'm currently just slapping them in and letting the BIOS sort it out. Sometimes on this machine though, the BIOS doesn't sort it out and I end up having headaches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 15, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 15, 2007 With that MB and with 4 modules you should be setting the memory frequency at DDR667 and I would set the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts as well. Have you tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzykotic Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 No, I was waiting for confirmation in this thread before I went and toyed with that. I'm going to do that now that you've said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzykotic Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did that and I am still getting randomly corrupted files and reboots, lockups and BSODS with four modules installed. I'm going to run memtest against all four modules. EDIT All four ram modules installed produces over 500 errors. Each individually so far has produced none.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 16, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 16, 2007 With four modules installed please go to BIOS setup and load setup defaults and then set the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts and set the MCH/NB Chipset Voltage to +.05 Volts and then set the memory frequency at DDR667 and just let the BIOS set the timings or set them to Cas 5-5-5-15 and make sure the Command Rate AKA CPC is set to 2T as well and then disable legacy USB and exit the BIOS saving changes and let is run http://www.memtest.org for at least 2-3 passes and see if that will solve the problem.

I did as you instructed and finally found the culprit module. It looks like the UBS Legacy setting was throwing off the testing. I called customer support and I'm waiting on an RMA. Thanks!

pzykotic Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 NP Please let me know if you have any more questions! They told me I have to chop-shop all four modules out and RMA them. That will kind of leave me without a desktop for a week or better. Is there some kind of better replacement policy available? I really can't wait that long.
