sileconsoul Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 are the restricted timing settings of 4-4-4-12-2t and 2.1v safe to run long term? my system seems to freeze after 20-30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Those settings should be fine for that DRAM. You are running with two sticks, correct? Download Memtest from http://www.memtest.org. Burn the Memtest ISO image to a CD and boot to the CD. Allow for two full passes. Results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sileconsoul Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 ran to memtest passes with no problems at a reduced voltage of 2.085V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Then I would look to issues external to the DRAM. Are you overclocking? Any other hardware in your system? When do the lockups occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sileconsoul Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 i didnt explain myself correctly i apologize, before changing my settings and voltage , it would freeze 20-30 minutes into using it. im just wondering, can i keep these settings forever without worrying about damaging the ram itself? because of the voltage and such...

Ah, ok, that makes sense. No, you will not damage that DRAM with 4-4-4-12-2t and 2.1v. That is the standard default for such DRAM. You are fine. :) The reason it froze was that there was not enough voltage for these modules before and now there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
