prljavibluzer Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dear Ram Guy :) I followed your settings for Asus P5B but it kept crashing at that settings. I thought maybe it's that buggy MBO and continued using at slower settings stable and I didn't RMA it because my dealer here in Croatia doesn't seem to have Corsair anymore(it's still under warranty of course) and I can't afford to be without working computer. Now I have Gigabyte P35-DS4 and once again, no default timings here - even with 2.45v. Seasonic 430W is the PSU so it cannot be an issue here because I heard they are some kind of "quality". Can you help me? I paid a lot of money for something that obviously doesn't seem to work well... Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prljavibluzer Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thank you for this great support. :sunglasse I've just sent the RMA request. I have 2 maybe a little bit silly questions: 1. What memory I am going to get? I don't see this model here anymore: http://www.corsair.com/products/dominator.aspx 2. Dominator airflow fan It's impossible to find that fine add-on here in Croatia. Any chance of something "amateurish" like money sending with faulty ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prljavibluzer Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yes, it's updated now and as I can see, UPS tracking works correctly. However, I am little bit disappointed because I'm not getting new Dominators since I didn't payed for cheaper XMS2 series. These are some TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHX G which aren't good as Dominator because they don't use fine Micron chips, it uses cheaper PROMOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 8, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 8, 2008 Micron chips have not been used on any of our 6400 series parts in any considerable quantity for over a year now, this is because the chips are simply not available. Due to 6400 spec becoming standard and demand increasing beyond our available supply, we needed to find a chip that would pass at the same spec and be readily available at the same time. There will still be occasional spill over of Micron chips that make it into a 6400 part, however it is usually because the chips will not pass at a higher spec. If you are running these modules at their advertised settings there will be no difference in performance or compatibility. It is true that the Micron chips respond better to increased voltage and that potentially you would be able to overclock the memory a little bit higher with Micron, but this is not always the case. The only other difference between the DHX and the Dominator parts (other than the color of the heatspreader) is that the Dominator parts are programmed with an EPP which allows you to automatically configure the memory if you are using an nvidia chipset.
