r1rhyder Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I just filled out the rma request. I get the impression I am supposed to ask the ram guy before requesting the rma. I submitted the request without posting here first. Is that a problem? both modules fail memtest 1.70 with bios 0903, latest. each module tested separately on two different p5e3's mb's. module 1 starts throwing errors at around 62% on pass one. module 2 starts throwing errors from the start. I have tried auto, xmp, and manual setting in bios. all yield same results. manual settings were 1800/7-7-7-20-1n and 2n @2.0v. I believe I have two bad modules. your thoughts thanks:bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 10, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 10, 2008 Its unlikely that both modules would fail, but if you have tested them in two boards and received the same results, then lets just get them replaced. Whats your case number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1rhyder Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 corsair has not responded to the request yet, and if there was a case number given during the process, I did not see it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 10, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 10, 2008 What are you setting the CPU to frequency and Multiplier? You cannot run the memory at 1800 Mhz with out over clocking the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1rhyder Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 thats not true. when I have everything set to auto in the bios, and xmp or 1800 mhz is set in bios, then the bios changes the cpu clock ratio, trying to keep the cpu at stock or lower speeds. for example, windows desktop at idle, cpu clock at 6x450=2700mhz, at load cpu clock changes to 7x450=3150mhz. cpu goes from underclock to overclock automatically. but to answer your question, I am usually running at 9x450. I don't mean to be argumentative, really. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 10, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well any increase in the FSB would be considered an overclock, because you are increasing the bandwidth at which the CPU is operating, but thats not important. Have you tried testing the memory with the FSB at 450 and the multiplier at either 6x or 7x? If you do not have a case number then you can submit the request with ourOn Line RMA Request Form.

r1rhyder Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 thanks, just finished another request. question, I have cm3x1024-1800c7din. new egg advertises these as (TWIN3X20481800C7DFIN) are they one in the same? or are they different? I got these from new egg. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
