Myinikin Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hello! I wa sin the process of trying to install 2 Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 2048MB CL5 (4 gigs of ram total) and my mainboard (a MSI P35 Platinum) would not even go into BIOS. I removed all 4 sticks and after a series of tests found that one pair was good and one was faulty. After checking the 2 faulty memory modules with memtest I found out that one of the modules was showing an aboundance of errors with each pass, but would even then allow windows to boot, and the other one (in the same matched pair) would when tested by itself not even allow bios to load. After reading some posts in these forums it seems that even after i get a fresh pair of modules for a total of 4 gigs I have to run all of them in 667 speed in odrer for them to work. My question is: is this true in my case? Best Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 30, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yes DDR667 would be suggested with 4 modules and I would set the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts as well as set the MCH/NC Chipset Voltage to +.05 Volts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myinikin Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Thank you very much for a fast response! Turns out that a part of the problem was due to old (and bad) BIOS on my board. THe whole thing works fine now fortunatley and will work even better with 2 new modules :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
