Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 7, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 7, 2008 We have not tested the MB just yet but I am sure either set would run great on that MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 7, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 7, 2008 I think we just got that MB and from what we have seen the GigaByte MB's of this chipset seem to run well, but I have not seen all of the reports yet.

toxygen Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I actually just purchased the GA-MA790FX-DS5 as well as some TWIN2X2048-8500C5D. the board is 1066 complaint, as well as the memory. Bios is up to date, and I've even tried manually setting the clock speed, but unfortunatly I don't have a full list of timings I need, but I cannot get this memory to run any faster than 800mhz without problems, any ideas?

DerekT Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 When you say "Some", do you mean two or four sticks? What version are they? Look on the DRAM module and set to the proper voltage. Download memtest from http://www.memtest.org and extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. Enter your BIOS. (IMPORTANT) Load Setup Defaults. Save Setup Defaults. On the main BIOS screen press Ctrl + F1. You will see the screen flicker. Next select the MB Intelligent Tweaker option. On that screen you will see many additional settings that were not there before. Set to these values for two sticks. Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (MIT)CPU Clock Ratio = Auto CPU Host Clock HT Link Frequency = Auto PCI-e Clock = 100Mhz Set Memory Clock = DDR 1066 System Voltage Control = Auto CPU Voltage Control = Auto DDR2 Voltage Control = +.3v (For 2.1v) +.4v (For 2.2v) Chipset Voltage Control = +.3v PCI-e Voltage Control = Auto HTT Voltage Control = Auto HTR Voltage Control = AutoDRAM Configuration DCTs Mode = Unganged Set Memory Clock = Manual Memory Clock = x5.33 (1066Mhz) DDRII Timing Items CAS# Latency = 5 RAS to CAS R/W Delay = 5 Row Precharge Time = 5 Minimum RAS Active Time = 15 1T/2T Command Timing = 2T All rest set to Auto Boot to the Memtest CD and allow for two full passes.

ThomasVJ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi Derekt, I'm struggelig with the same kind of setup and problem - however - my system goes "black" and then my pc boots after 5-10 minutes. My setup: GA-MA790FX-DS5 with latest Bios (F7) 4 x Corsair TWIN2X 8500C5 DDR2, 2048MB CL5 (4GB total) AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition Quad-Core When I installed the 9850 and Vista 64 I can run for around 5 minutes, and then my screen goes black and my pc reboots after approx 5 minutes. I'm nt a overclocker, I just want a stable PC.. Do you have any tips for voltage settings/BIOS settings? I've scanned the forums - sent mail ti Gigabyte - but I havent had much luck yet.. :( Any help would be HIGHLY apreciated!!! P.S I'm not a completly noob - but please dont use so many acronyms *** english isent my first language.. Thanks in advance!! Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 A bit of pathology please. New system? All new parts? The only memory that has been installed etc? Do you have another video card, even PCI? Memory module versions (on the memory sticks)? With four slots being populated it is advised to drop the bandwidth one bin. From 1066Mhz to 800Mhz. Hi Derekt, I'm struggelig with the same kind of setup and problem - however - my system goes "black" and then my pc boots after 5-10 minutes.
