chrillo Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi! I am currently running with two VS1GBKIT667D2 (ie. 4x512mb modules) on my motherboard Abit AB9 (http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=AB9+Pro&fMTYPE=LGA775). I suspect the RAM isn't running as fast and good as it can, but I can't get to grasp what timings etc I should use. Can anyone help me by suggesting proper timings and voltages for these memory's together with this mainboard? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Christian The lower performance is due to the fact that today's ultra-high-speed, ultra-high-performance memory controllers work best with only two sticks of memory installed, and that you're overloading the memory controller when you filled up all four memory slots. And not all Intel chipset-based motherboards allow you to manually set the memory controller's command rate. And when left on "Auto", your system defaulted to DDR2-533 speed with fail-safe memory timings. Also, which CPU do you have on your motherboard?

I have the Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4Ghz), running at default settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 29, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 With 4 modules I would just set the memory voltage to 2.0 Volts after you load setup defaults and let the BIOS set the timings should be all you have to set.

chrillo Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thank you, will try out out asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2008 NP if you have more than two modules installed you might set the NB/MCH Voltage to +.05 Volts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
