monte1985 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Having some problems with my memory. Have 2 sets of the Dominator Twin2X2048-8500C5D in my system for a total of 4gb of memory . I have started to get crashes with my computer and blue screens that said memory management. I did a fresh install of the operating system and that did not help . I ran memtest and get many errors with each tests . I pulled out all the stick and tested them one by one and pound only one of the sticks to always give me errors. The rest of the sticks pass fine . Im running a evga 680iSLI A-1 mother board . I had the memory at stock settings and at 2.2v.Please let me know what i need to do so i can RMA this memory . My other concern is that iv i send in the 2 sticks my other 2 sticks my be a different version than what i get back . Right now i have all version 1.2 memory . Also the last time i rma memory there was confusion on the rma page because i had the Twinx model which consisted of 2 modules but i remember on the rma page they wanted you to list each module i think . Also if you want me to rma both sets of ram i really dont want to make my computer useless so if at all possible i could do one set at a timeSo please let me know what you recommend me doing . Thanks for your time and help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monte1985 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thank you for getting back so soon . So should i only replace the 2 sticks for the one set or send in all 4 so i get the same versions ?? I also dont want my computer to be down forever waiting for the memory to come back . Thanks!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 8, 2007 We can try replacing only the failed set first and see that resolves the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte1985 Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi . I received my RMA memory and installed it and i now have no errors like i was having before . I do notice a different problem now. In my bios i cannot select SLI Ready Memory. It says its not detected. This is with all of my memory installed . If i only install one matched set , does not matter which set , i can then select SLI Ready Memory. But with all 4gb of memory installed it says not detected . I believe it may be because there are now 2 different versions of memory and i asked about this before when rmaing the memory . I have one set of version 1.2 and one set that is now version 1.3 that i received from the rma . Please let me know now what i should do . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 29, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 29, 2007 SLI-Ready may not be detected with 4 modules in your system, and using the SLI-Ready feature would not be recommended unless you have purchased a QUAD2X set of the 8500C5D. Here are the manual settings for using 4 8500 modules in your system: FIRST THING CLEAR CMOS!! Load Setup/Optimized Defaults Memory Voltage: 2.2v SLI Ready: Disabled FSB Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked MEM DDR MHZ: 1066MHZ TCL: 5 TRCD: 5 TRP: 5 TRAS: 15 Command Per Clock: 2T TRC: 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
