theroot Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hello everyone! I have probably a simple question. I figured maybe the Ramguy would know. I've seen you suggest several times, that sometimes in order to get 4 sticks of some ram to work right, you need to overclock the voltage on your NB chipset. I don't have a problem doing so, however I have no idea what my stock voltage on my chipset is/where I should begin. I've looked/posted everywhere, and called and asked Asus support. I don't want to just blindly start guessing, so I'm hoping you might happen to know? Thanks for the help, the great ram, and the good support you have throughout these forums!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 20, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 20, 2008 With 4 modules just set the memory frequency at DDR667 and then set the memory Voltage to 2.4 Volts for the C3 part and set the tested settings and set the NB Voltage to +.1 Volts over default, when you select the voltage the default voltage should be displayed.

theroot Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thanks for the fast reply! Unfortunately it doesn't say what the voltage is for anything but the +5 +12 +3.3 and CPU core voltage. There are voltage settings for VDDA, NF200, 1.2 HT, and NB Chip, the default is "Auto", which does not display voltage. In the power/hardware monitor menu, it does not say what the voltage for any of those currently are. Here's the options I have: VDDA Voltage = 2.52-2.83 increments roughly by .1v NF200 Voltage = 1.2 - 1.56 increments of .02v 1.2 HT Voltage = 1.2-1.5 increments of .02v NB Chip Voltage = 1.1-1.7 increments of .02v (of course i have the options for ram voltage and cpu as well) Any idea where I should start?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 20, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 20, 2008 Look in hardware monitor and see if NB Chip Voltages listed but I would try the irst step up 1.3 and then 1.5 Volts if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroot Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I just wanted to say immediately after changing my NB Voltage to 1.3v it fried my motherboard. Every stick of ram i put in there regardless of what it is throws memory errors in the exact same spots, in every slot, at every setting. So if anyone else is reading this DO NOT OVERCLOCK YOU NB VOLTAGE! It's depressing such advice is handed out so quickly by the knowledgeable. ::sigh:: I hope Asus will RMA this and not deem it was my fault by overclocking, if they do I'm out 250$. Thanks.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 28, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 28, 2008 If the setting is in the BIOS and you set that setting that the MB maker provided and it caused the MB to fail then clearly that is a MB problem and I do not see how they can deny the RMA. Unless you modified the MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
