themachinist Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hello there all, was wondering if someone could help. I purchased a Corsair CM2X1024 6400 (2x1GIG) today. My current 1Gig of Kingston RAM is in my DDR1 slot, so after reading the MB manual It told me to either install them into DDR1 and 2 or DDR3 and 4. I stuck them in 3 and 4, switched the PC on, which seemed to start booting fine, but no video on the monitor! I have an old CRT monitor which "clicks" on when it detects video, but that didn't happen. So I tried all kinds of different combinations (taking the old Kingston out and trying to run off the two corsair, swapping all three sticks around endlessly and still the same problem. Is it my BIOS? I recently downloaded what I think is F11 off the net. Hmm. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themachinist Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Well I've managed to get the two corsairs working in my DDR3 and 4 slots, with my old ram taken out. In Cpuz it says they are only running at 350mhz when they are meant to be running at 800mhz. Lol sorry for being such a noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themachinist Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Oh I see! So if so, theres no way to increase it? The extra ram hasn't seem to noticeably improve game performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 21, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 21, 2008 You may have to play with the CPU memory settings, how is the BIOS currently configured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
