TJNut Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I just ordered a custom system with a MSI 865PE Neo2 FIS2R mother board, P4 3.2 Ghz processor (800 fsb) and Corsair TwinX 1024 3200LL memory. This was only after what I thought to be a thorough amount of research on compatiblity between the mother board and the memory. I had read that Corsair had changed the SPD (back in June) specifically to work with the 865/875 chipsets. Can anyone verify that this motherboard and memory combination are compatible? What, if any, limitations will I run up against in using the motherboard features of Dynamic Over Clocking (DOC) or enabling MAT? If not 3200LL, what is the best memory for this board? Thanks, TJNut :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 9, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 9, 2004 These modules should be fine with this MB, but I would get the latest bios and use the settings suggested on MSI's forum. Alternatively, you can do a search for this model and I think you will see many posts and the solution to make the system stable. However, if the system comes complete it should be preconfigured.

TJNut Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Ok. Once I get the system, I'll check out the timings and voltage setting. I'm hoping that the latest bios and the changes in SPD from Corsair will have resolved past issues. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 9, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 9, 2004 There have not been any changes in the SPD since last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJNut Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 [quote name='RAM GUY']There have not been any changes in the SPD since last year![/QUOTE] I realize that, but there is still a backlash on many sites (including the MSI forum) where people advised of problems prior to the SPD change back in June or so of 2003. According to Corsair, this change was made specifically "to make the LL's work on the 875 and 865 chipsets" (now 2-3-2-6 by default). This and some of the growing pains experienced with motherboard bios changes seems to have reslted in many users that are quick to advise against low latency modules due to their past experience. However, I am hopeful that these changes have resolved the problems for the 865/875 intel based boards.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 10, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 10, 2004 Should not be a problem, and simply setting the Rass to Cass to "3" will resolve that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
