RBx Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 So i have the Intel DP35DP motherboard that requires 1.8v ram.....but i bought(not reading first!) CM2X1024-6400 ram (XMS6405v5.1 5-5-5-12) which is 1.9v...not the mobo specific 1.8v. Can i make this ram work? and how? or should i just buy new ram. Thanks, RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 You can try it at 1.8v and see if it is stable. If not you will need new RAM or motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbeard Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 As noted, just install it and use it. If it will boot at all, it will probably run I would suggest you torture it in the OS also as Memtest is a good indicator of errors but, Memtest is not a good torture test. Try Orthos Prime 95 or a burn in program like the SiSoft Sandra burn in. Also as noted, if this memory does not work with this board, then you can either replace the memory or get a MOBO with OCing options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBx Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 thank you...i will give it a shot. Will memtest that comes with a linux distro do the same? Happy New Year RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm not sure. RAM GUY always recommends http://www.memtest.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 31, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 31, 2007 As long as its Memtest86+ Ver. 1.70 it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBx Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 OK so i have the board and my 1.9v ram..... it gets to the windows boot screen and reboots. the timmings right now are 5-5-5-12 set to 800mhz. There does not seem to be an area i can adjust the voltage for the ram. Any suggestions? Can i change the timings to accomplish this? thanks, RBx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 8, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 8, 2008 I would contact the MB maker to be sure, but if you cannot set the memory voltage I am sorry but these modules would not be compatible with that MB.

sonicfuzion Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Help!!! I knew of the 1.8v restriction on Intel Mobo (DP35DP), and I specifically asked ZipZoomFly.com for 1.8v Module using their wizard and it pointed me to this Memory Module (TWIN2X4096-6400C5 G). So now that i have it in my hand, I see that it has 1.9v on its side sticker. I don't have my processor or any other parts picked yet, so I can't turn it on to test it. Could someone tell me if this combination of Motherboard and Memory would work, or should I RMA the memory back to ZipZoomFly.com ASAP. Thanks in advance!

RBx Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I ran mine with 1.9v, and she ran...however i am still setting the machine up and i haven't ran memtest yet.....so you can turn it on and set up the machine, but i can't say how stable it will be.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 16, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 16, 2008 I would suggest Twin2x2048-6400C5DHX as they will run at 1.8 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
