trmentry Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I just built my new rig and I really like it. I finally saw the option in the BIOS to 'Enable SLI-Memory'. So I chose that option and started it out at CPUOC 0% since I've not overclocked anything on my system. I boot into XP or Vista, and will BSOD. If I leave it disabled I'm fine. The only thing I notice is at boot on POST, it shows freq of mem at 800mhz when disabled and 1067 when enabled. I've tried 0%, 1% and MAX and get same results. Can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong on getting this memory to work in an SLI config setup? (Yes I have dual 8800GTs). :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psymn Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 My EPP's never worked wither. Goto overclocking in you bois. Select manual settings/ Edit FSB/MEM config and change top option to linked, then change ratio to 1:1 This will make the memory run at 1066Mhz. Youll also need to change the memory timings in the bois to get the most out of them, get CPU-Z to show you the SPD on your mem and change the timings in the bois to match.

bigbuck08 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Trmentry, could you look at one of the RAM modules and tell me what version it is please? How To Read The Memory Label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmentry Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 @Psymn & @bigbuck08 Thanks for the info. I'll check it out in a bit and get the info back to you all. I'm in the process of a 20g backup and don't want to power off quite yet. :) I'll post more in a little bit. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmentry Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Ok I made the changes in the BIOS that you recommended Psymn. I need to still run CPU-Z so all the timings are on auto currently, but the bootup shows the memory at 1067 now. @bigbuck08 This is what is on my modules. XMS2-8500 1024MB 1066MHz 5-5-5-15 2.10v ver2.2 07460807 so looks like version 2.2 Hope that helps. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I would recommend changing the following settings: FSB-Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked DDR FSB: 1066 tCL: 5 tRCD: 5 tRP: 5 tRAS: 15 Advanced Memory Settings: tRRD: Auto tRC: Auto tWR: Auto tWTR: Auto tREF: Auto Asysnc Latency: Auto CMD: 2T Voltages: Vdimm: 2.15v Test with Memtest and see what happens.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 31, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 31, 2007 I would agree with BigBuck, but before testing and configuring the memory manually, make sure you have the latest BIOS and load setup defaults in the BIOS. Let us know how it turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
