DerekT Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Do you have a plain stick of DDR2. Just a value piece. You need to install a plain stick and enter the BIOS. Then set your DRAM Voltage (Vdimm) to 2.1v. Then shut the system down and remove the plain stick and install the higher end C4's. Restart and enter the BIOS. Set the Timings to 4-4-4-12 and reboot. Download memtest from http://www.memtest.org and extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. Boot to the optical drive with the memtest disk and allow for two full passes. Results?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 9, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 9, 2007 I would recommend testing each stick individually. If you can get into the BIOS with one of the modules, adjust the memory voltage to 2.1 volts and then attempt them both in dual channel once more. If you do not have a voltage adjustment with this board, these modules may not be compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
