DefJux Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Tried some other ddr3 modules last night.. These are on NVIDIA list of supported modules. They didn`t fix the problem (thank god:) So im sending them back. Have downloaded the beta bios P03R2 "dinos22" used in his tests.. I`ll see if im brave enough to try them out if my gpu switch doesen`t work... The lag described in post 1 actually stops after 4-5 mins of playing COD4 or TF2... and then the games runs fine... So Ramguy....is it possible that vista 64 bit doesn`t like running on "only" 2 gig ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 3, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 3, 2008 No 1 or 2 Gig should not be a problem with Vista 32 or 64 Bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunslingerOCS Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Has Corsair done any 4x1GB testing of this RAM with reference 790i Ultra? And for all you Vista haters, it is necessary to run Vista if you run Tri-SLI or Quad-SLI. I'm a gamer, and have been running 64Bit Ultimate since it's release.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 We make Quad kits that are tested 4 up. But we do not test Twinx sets with more than one set which is noted on XMS Qualification and Testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a gamer, and have been running 64Bit Ultimate since it's release. you are better off buying a 4GB kit(2x2GB) as reference boards have a problem clocking RAM in gray slots past 1800 while black slots can go waaaay past that easily.......this is certainly the case with early bioses at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 I would suggest using a 4 Gig 2 X 2 Gig set of modules for best performance if you want 4.0 Gig. Rater than 4 1.0 Gig modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Maybe I too should replace my 1800 modules with the Corsair TWIN3X 1333MHz DDR3, 4GB kit?! got 4 days to decide...!! Seems like I dont have the knowlegde anyways to take advantage of the 1800 modules :) And since the infamous "lag" is twice as bad when I run only one stick, maaaaybe the lag will be gone with 4 gig?! OOOhh yesss.. oooooohh yess!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 Just get the latest BIOS for that MB as it seems to solve a lot of issues but you will need to over clock the CPU to get the memory to DDR1800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Or maybe this is the reason?! http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/04/04/nvidia-sata-driver-bricks jeez...:p: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 I don't think that was his issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 well.. have the last bios.. (P03) And can overclock to 450 fsb... and run linked.. but the lag is there... With kingston hyper x 1600 mhz modules.. the lag is just there 3-4 min into the game.. after that the game runs fine... With corsair 1800 the lag is really bad, and dont go away...

DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 nope.. not his.. but could be mine?! dont know really the lag is driving me mad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 Did you try running them at DDR1600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 yes... runs stable... prime memtest no errors.. the lag is there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 Try setting the memory Voltage to 1.9 Volts and see if it changes and there should be a new Beta BIOS and new drivers that will help if you are not using the latest Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Im sure it is a memory thing... cant say it is a error, cus I might have done something wrong.. but I find it strange that the hyper x modules reduce the "lag"... The lag is even there on default settings.. ugg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 ok.. cus I have been running them on 2.0v... And default... The beta bios dinos22 used in his test is actually a older version than the P03... and I have to force it to be installed... And I don`t like to force a bios flash...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 Let's get them replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 the problem is that I bought them used... and I guess its not likely two different sets of ram have the exact same problem..??! what timings to use on 1333 mhz? and 1600 mhz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 4, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 4, 2008 I would talk to the seller then to see if they can get them replaced if you want, but I doubt that will solve the problem. And I would need the exact modules part number to answer you are the timings but either Cas 9-9-9-24 or 7-7-7-20 what every they are rated at.

DefJux Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 yup... that was the timings I used.. And tested by you guys... ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefJux Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 well... tried xp.. the lag is still there...

DerekT Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 And I can think BSOD = XP. If you like VISTA 64 for gaming, then enjoy. I like FPS, possibly you like to game with 2D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Bluebeard Posted April 7, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 7, 2008 please also try the black DIMM slots prior to the blue ones - this could help as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
