Lockheat Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have an Asus P5WDH DeLuxe Mobo and for 2 years Twin2x2048-6400Pro. For my birthday i've got extra memory (always nice) Twin2x2048-6400C4. I thought, 15 minutes and my machine runs with 4Gb, big disappointment. When i installed the new memory in bank 2 and 4 (1 and 3 where filled with the PRO memory) my PC didn't boot at all (bios at std default ratings). After that at tested by installing just one card extra in bank 2, the pc booted but displayed 2,5GB memory, the other one didn't do anything. What can i do? PS excuses for my language (i'm Dutch).

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 12, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 12, 2008 First please test the module one at a time with the memory Voltage set to 2.0 Volts at Cas 5-5-5-15 and Disable Legacy USB and test with http://www.memtest.org. If they all pass then set the memory frequency DDR667 and set the NB/MCH VOltage to +.05 Volts and then exit saving changes and let it try to boot from a floppy or CD then turn it off and then install all four modules so they are not matched and see if it will post.

Lockheat Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 At first, thanks for trying. I returned my memory for a other twin 2x2048-6400C4 set. (the old set seems to be broken, also in the computershop) I have now the same problem, although this new set can operate alone, and my motherboard display's 2048mb. But I want 4Gb. Of course i did what you had written, but it didn't help. If I use all 4 banks, it only displays 2432Mb. What else can I do?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You are mixing and matching DRAM so stability might well be compromised. Enter your BIOS. Set your DRAM bandwidth to 667Mhz and your DRAM voltage to 2.1V. Raise your Memory Controller Hub Voltage +.02V higher. Then enable the option “Memory Remap Feature” which will remap the memory hole and BIOS should then show 4GB. Of course your 32bit OS will not see the full 4GB because all of your CPU/Motherboard/Legacy/Video/Audio (etc.) devices will need to populate space in that 4GB area.

Lockheat Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks for replying. This does the trick, it works.:biggrin: When i boot, it shows 4Gb, but in WinXP I only see 2Gb. (it is pretty stable, no crashes jet, even on 800mhz) When I install vista, the OS will show 4Gb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 If it's a 64-bit OS, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
