Uroec Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 new build with cm3x2048-1600c9dhx ram, rest of build in profile, anyways cant get system stable with this ram, standard bios settings will not work, system locks up after 10 min tops, less if in a game. Set up with brand x memory and works great, anyway to use this corsair product with this mobo ? Uroec = newb so I had a system test run by a repair co. They suggested ram is not compatible. not shure i buy that so here we go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 12, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 12, 2008 Please make sure that you have the latest bios and load setup defaults and then set the memory Voltage to 1.8 Volts then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure one is not failing. If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to be sure. In addition, with some MB's (Mostly ASUS) you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uroec Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 went to bios and downloaded most recent , reset voltage and timing to specified, tried in game test and locked up after 2.5 hrs, went to memtest .org as suggested and found like 20 or 25 different downloads and have no idea which one to use, tried several of the downloads and cant even get any of them open, remember Uroec = noob!

007bont Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 download this and extract it with wizip or winrar, then use your burning software and select "burn image" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 13, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just get the latest Version and you will want the ISO image and then use CD-R Software Burn Image command to burn it to CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 15, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 15, 2008 Other modules??? How many modules are you going to install? if its more than two modules DDR1066 or DDR1333 would be suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uroec Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 was planning on 4 for a total of 8 gigs of ram as suggested in my system spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 15, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 15, 2008 if its more than two modules DDR1066 or DDR1333 would be suggested. Just you may have to down clock the memory to the next speed grade down with more than two modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uroec Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 I see what you mean, added other ram and in game no good, keeps rebooting computer by itself, tried taking speed to 1333 but still no good---> Uroec ponders the problem now hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 18, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 18, 2008 Did you test the modules one at a time to make sure one was not failing? And did you try the memory at DDR1066? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uroec Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 did the change modules around none failed on previous settings, turned to 1066 and have been having fine luck in game for about 7 hrs, think its gonna b fine now thx ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 20, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 20, 2008 OK Thanks for letting us know, and please let me know if you have any more questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uroec Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 yea still no good at 1066, tried to do memtest but it wont work for some reason, changed modules and ran each pair of em in game for over 24 hrs np, put all 4 in and it starts to die at somewhere between 6 to 8 hrs even at 1066, guess i cant run 8 gigs of this ram kinda dissapointing. Just a thought maybe heat getting to it with all 4 modules ?? anymore input is welcome ------:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
