popicutz21 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi, well excuse me interfering but i have one "major" problem i am a newbie :o: but i tend to solve this in some way so here goes: MB: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L CPU: Intel Q6600 RAM: Corsair Twin 2X2048-6400C4DHX - 4x1Gb Video: Gainward Bliss 8800 GTS 512 Power: Antec True Power 650W Running OS WinVista Ultimate 64x and my real problem is that i don`t seem to get how to/or what to set ? by default the CPU Host Freq is set to 266 Mhz - and the RAM Frequency to 800 Mhz; first of all i don`t what are the default values of the RAM latencies, and than what could be the best for me ? 4-4-4-12 on 800 or 5-5-5-18 on 1066 ? for the 2nd option (if that) should i have to adjust the voltages ? Thank you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breaker Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Here is link to the datasheet for your RAM: http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets/TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHX.pdf It says: Tested at latency settings (4-4-4-12) at 2.1V SPD programmed at: JEDEC standard 5-5-5-18 values at 800MHz I have a very similar Gigabyte motherboard, but I have some Dominator. (see my specs on the drop-down list) You may know this but from the main BIOS setup screen you need to press CTRL+F1 which will enable viewing / changing of "advanced" settings, especially in the M.I.T. The timings and voltages on the spec. sheet should work, I'm not sure you'll be able to do so at the rated frequency. I was told that it can be difficult for 4 sticks to run at their highest rated speed. I ran mine at 800MHz, and timings of 4-4-4-12, but then again I have the TWIN2-2048-8500C5D, which are rated higher (1066MHz). Be sure you have excellent cooling and touch the RAM while it is under heavy load to be sure. As far as the voltage, you need to manually set it to 2.1V, which is +0.3 in the Gigabyte BIOS setup (the board runs at 1.8V by default).. Then you'll get a nasty red flashing message about how your System Voltage is not Optimized. You should be able to view the final DDR voltage in the PC Health Status screen of the BIOS setup. You set the frequency by manually changing the multiplier for the RAM. I hope this is clear, and helps. There probably should be a FAQ or Wiki that covers these Gigabyte motherboards because the way you set them up is a little different. I don't see how 1066Mhz would be possible with your RAM though. breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popicutz21 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well i did set the timings 4-4-4-12 and the +0.3 voltage and there are 24 h since than ;): . it works, i also ran memtest for 2h and did run some benchmarks in everest ultimate home. Until now it works. Thank you for the answer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popicutz21 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 And about the cooling i have Antec 900 case...hopefully it will be enough, with all 4 coolers working at hi spd. http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breaker Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Looks like a nice case! To be sure check how hot the RAM is after running some intensive software. Personally, I am looking into getting a temp probe or something, but that may be overkill. How do you like the Gigabyte mobo so far? Good luck!

popicutz21 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Well i guess there`s no question that this Mobo was finally a good choice. I 1st bought Asus P5K-C, i had all kinds of problems with that one, i`m glad i somehow got rid of it... . About the RAM... till now there are no problems so i hope it`s all for the best, thanks again. Btw is there anything that monitors RAM temp ?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 29, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 No you would have to use an external probe on the modules to see the temp. But I think you go to the Hobby Store and maybe find some thermal strips that are not to expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breaker Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 What is a good temperature range when measuring the outside face of the heat sink on the Dominators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 4, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 4, 2008 They will run between 90-130 Deg F normally depending on the room and case temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popicutz21 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 In the mean while i have changed my OS to XP professional sp2, and i`m getting pretty often a blue screen and report has this error code: BCCode : 10000050 BCP1 : B2E95B67 BCP2 : 00000000 BCP3 : 804EF342 BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1 I swapped the rams between them in the slots, i have cleaned the CPU cooler the Video cooler the case coolers, everest nevers shows me a system temperature above 40°, i really don`t know what else to do... i changed the video drivers but still the same. It alse said something regarding this file WER7593.dir00\Mini021708-04.dmp Help ?!? :o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 19, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 19, 2008 Have you tested the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to make sure one is not failing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
