New ram not as advertised ?


Recommended Posts

I am new to changing timing of memory modules, i have always just installed the ram and everything worked. When you say stability issues, what problems will i run into ? I have also not run memory test before, to me it seems logical if you are having problems but if not, it is like going to the doctor and asking him to find something wrong because i feel great.

You do not need to adjust the memory timings, you can just leave them at the SPD (default). If you were running the modules at their tested lower latency timings, then you may need to relax them a bit to get 3 modules running in that board.

I finally got my third module in, they were all built within a few months of each other, with the older timing of 2-2-2-5-1T. I tested each module by itself using Memtest86+ v1.7 (1 pass) and the latest one i purchased had 15 errors test #3 00008db0178 141.0MB, one of my original modules had 1 error test #6 000057add7c 87.8MB, the last one had no errors. I installed them all and memory timing is set to SPD, cpuz has timing at 2-2-2-5, same as tested speed. I am having no problems with my system, games are smooth no crashes or bsod's. Ran 3DMark05 with out any hitches. Not sure what to do, replace them all or keep plugging away until something goes wrong.

I have only one more question and i will leave you guys alone, my modules come with the wire clips on the heat spreaders, on my nforce2 motherboard the #2 and #3 sockets are very close, when the modules are installed the clips will touch the heat spreader of the adjacent module. Should i remove them or is it safe to run that way with them touching :confused:
