JayDee Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I have 2x512 Value select PC3200 400mhz CL2 - says CL2 on the box. My motherboard recognizes it as CL2.5 and memtest86 v1.11 say the timings are 2.5-3-3-8. I've removed 1 stick and run both as a single 512 and both run at CL2.5. I have an Athlon 64 3000+ so the ram is running at 400mhz. Motherboard can't even change the timings manually - it locks up and I have to reset the Bios. It appears as if I actually paid for CL2 (cost me more than the 2.5's) and just got the Value CL2.5 chips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikram404 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I think u are right. Return it and get memory with 2.5 CL if u can. The AMD Athlon 64 Platform does not support a Cas Latency of 2. The minimum is 2.5CL. Vikram [quote name='JayDee']I have 2x512 Value select PC3200 400mhz CL2 - says CL2 on the box.

JayDee Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 @vikram404 Thanks! I didn't know that the AMD's weren't capable of CL2! I'll have to lookm into that. I know that [I]some [/I] chips that run on a P4 at 2.0 run at 2.5 on AMD. JayDee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
