by350 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I built my new system last night with the ASUS P5N-E SLI MOBO and TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX RAM. I got all the way thru the Win XP Pro install process and when it went to boot into Windows, I got the BSD. Is my MOBO compatible with this memory? If not, which Corsair 2X 2GB memory do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 21, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yes there is no problem with that MB in fact we just set one up with those modules and that MB, just get the latest BIOS and then load setup defaults and then set the memory Voltage to 1.9 Volts and set the Command Rate to 2T and set the TRC if its listed to 24 and you should be good to go.

by350 Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 I am running the latest 0801 BIOS. I'm really hesitant to change voltages and such. Will this cut down the life expectancy of my RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I am running the latest 0801 BIOS. I'm really hesitant to change voltages and such. Will this cut down the life expectancy of my RAM?No, in fact, those settings and voltages are the ones we validate the RAM at. Set your RAM voltage to 1.9v and use the other settings RAM GUY gave you and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
by350 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 This seems to be stable now, but I only changed the voltage to 1.920 and set the TRC to 24. I can't find where you change the Command Rate to 2T. Where is this setting in BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It is where you set the timings. Should be right under that named "Command Per Clock" I believe its called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 26, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 26, 2007 If its stable as Specmike said leave it alone, but you can check for that setting in the manual in section 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
by350 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 What does Command Rate do anyway? Am I better leaving it at the default setting if it's running stable? Also, since this memory/MOBO combo has been tested, why isn't it listed on the approved list under the memory finder tool? Thanks for your help!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 2, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 2, 2008 I posted this before about Command Rate AKA Command Per Clock. Command Rate is not really a memory setting and would be dependent on the make and model of MB and PSU and the specific CPU you have installed. You might look this setting up on Techarp and get a better explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It is on the listm you have to scroll down: http://www.corsairmemory.com/configurator/product_results.aspx?id=56586 Command Rate: http://www.techarp.com/showfreebog.aspx?lang=0&bogno=194 Test your system both ways if you like and go with the setting you find to work best. Even though 1T shows better in benchmarks, there is typically very little if any real world advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
