8500C5D v1.2 and v2,2

[shazbot]

Hello

 

I have 4 sticks of CM2X1024-8500C5D

 

after having to change 2 sticks, I received the Ver.2.2 in exchange of the v1.2

 

Now these 2 sticks are not detected by my EVGA 680i MB bios version 31, as sli enabled (v.2.2)

 

while my other 2 sticks, v1.2 are correctly seen as sli enabled detected

 

do I have to change them again, how do I get the Evga bios to recognise them .....

 

Thanks

Typically, EPP/SLI Ready profiles are not stable or usable with 4 DIMMs. I would suggest that you enter your bios settings manually and not use these settings with 4 modules.

Firstly thanks for such a quick reply

 

I can't set them to sli 'not enabled ' or 'enabled' as the version 2.2 are not even detected by the MB which I find quite strange...

 

reading EVGA and your forums I noticed tha most MB don't really like 4 populated banks at 1066 so I am running them at 800 @ 2.1 volts

 

Would it be better for me to RMA the v1.2 sticks to get 4 banks of the same model ??

 

thanks again

Most likely, the best memory for 4gb on that board is going to be a 2 x 2gb, one of our TwinX 4096 kits. Please use the link in my signature for the Corsair Memory Configurator to see the recommended memory for your board.
