moogman79 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Guys its me again, .... after a long test phase this board and the ram stated above will not work stable. I have tried everything .... the ram was manufactured: week 13 year 08 my settings at the moment: 1,78 Volt settet in the Bios results in 1,80 Volt 8-8-8-24 at 1777Mhz At the first time it runs almost stable and now my system crashs everyday... I need a bit assist with that problem.... ... and memtest86 don´t find any errors ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 What are your CPU BIOS settings for DRAM and voltages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogman79 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 What do you want to know exactlay? CPU runs on deafult with all settings ... I have only turned off -enhanced speedstep.. and i have also turned off spread spectrum The Clocks are running with defaultsettings and the volgates are standart (auto) too Clock is 3,0 Ghz multiplier 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's better to set the Speed of the CPU higher to gain a better ratio with CPU and DRAM. If you lower your CPU multiplier and raise your FSB, then you will have an easier time with such high speed memory. For example with your hardware, I would try 3.2Ghz with 400FSB and 1800Mhz on Unlinked CPU<--> Memory: Download Memtest86+ V2.11 from--->Hereand extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. Download Real Temp from--> HereEnter your BIOS. Load Setup Defaults. Save Setup Defaults. Set to these values: Extreme Tweaker CPU Level Up = Auto Memory Level Up = Auto CPU Multiplier = 8 FSB - Memory Clock Mode = UnLinked FSB (QDR) Frequency = 1600 Mem (DDR) Frequency = 1800 LDT Frequency = 5x Memory Timing Section P1 = Auto P2 = Auto tCL = 8 tRCD = 8 tRP = 8 tRAS = 20 Command Per Clock = 2T tRRD = Auto tRC = Auto tWR = Auto tWTR = Auto tFAW = Auto tRD = Auto tRTP = Auto tRFC = Auto tREF = Auto Over Voltage CPU Voltage = 1.25v Loadline Calibration = Disabled CPU PLL Voltage = 1.53v CPU VTT Voltage = 1.14v Memory Voltage = 1.8v NB Core Voltage = 1.32v SB Core Voltage = 1.50 CPU GTL_REF0 Ratio = Auto CPU GTL_REF1 Ratio = Auto CPU GTL_REF2 Ratio = Auto CPU GTL_REF3 Ratio = Auto DDR3 CHA1 Ref Voltage = Auto DDR3 CHA2 Ref Voltage = Auto DDR3 CHB1 Ref Voltage = Auto DDR3 CHB2 Ref Voltage = Auto CPU Configuration CPU Internal Thermal Control = Auto Limit CPUID MaxVal = Disabled Enhanced C1 (C1E) = Disabled Execute Disable Bit = Enabled Virtualization Technology = Disabled (Unless you are using Virtual Machines) Enhanced SpeedStep Tech = Disabled All CPU Cores = Enabled Spread Spectrum Control = All to disabled Boot to the Memtest CD and allow for two full passes. If stable, enter Windows and Download Everest Trial Version from here -->Here Install Everest and right click on the (i) icon in the system tray. Choose Tools --> Cache and Memory Benchmark. Run the Benchmark and post the finished screenshot. Post a screenshot of Realtemp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogman79 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 i have a cpu with the c0 revision will this cpu be able to handle 400mhz?..... b.t.w. the system isnt stable at 1333mhz and all settings at auto .... the system was stable but the last one or two weeks it became worser and worser ... maybe my ram or mobo is dying.... i will try some things this weekend ... i will remove one module to check the problem .... thx for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, the C0 will take 400Mhz FSB. I've had two of them and both easily made 400FSB. After 400FSB it became more work. Have you set your DRAM to the second set (White) of DRAM slots? i have a cpu with the c0 revision will this cpu be able to handle 400mhz?..... b.t.w. the system isnt stable at 1333mhz and all settings at auto .... the system was stable but the last one or two weeks it became worser and worser ... maybe my ram or mobo is dying.... i will try some things this weekend ... i will remove one module to check the problem .... thx for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 29, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 29, 2009 Try 1.85v - 1.9v memory voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogman79 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 No i use the Blue Slots.... RamGuy should i really try 1,85 - 1,9 Volt is this safe .... as you know the board does a little overvolt .... for example if you set the voltage in the bios to 1,78 the voltage output of the Ram socket is 1,80 Volt ....

DerekT Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 No i use the Blue Slots.... As you wish. Good luck with your instability. Let us know if you find a way to stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogman79 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi, it´s me again, .... I have now used furmark .... and my vga card is faulty i think... let fix that first and than i will give it another try... My GTX280 produces graphic errors if the gpu temp reaches 90 degrees ... Thats the first fault in my system ... i will make a rma for this vga card and i will inform you if my instability will gone .... Tanks a lot for your efforts B.t.w. i running my ram at the following at the moment: 1777 Mhz at 8-8-8-24-2t at 1,70 Volt and i have noticed no more or less instability as before ... i think the error must be located elsewhere (vga card ?)

DerekT Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 EVGA produces a program called "EVGA Precision". I use it to create two profiles. One profile is 2D and 50% fan with the lowest Core and memory speeds. The second is 3D with 100% fan and I use it for gaming. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr96CFeVrJk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogman79 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 my graphic card is from zotac GTX280AMP i think they have had a quality problem with that cards i have verified the error today ... The card runs pretty normal until it reachs 90 degress celcius ... and from here i have flickering black polygons ... This Card is overclocked by default to aprox 700 Mhz ... i think thats the problem .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Max temp is 105 Celcius, so it's no surprise that as you approach it you have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 EVGA precision allows for you to work with that card as well. http://majorgeeks.com/EVGA_Precision_d6021.html You can raise the fan and lower the clock speed, set it to a profile, right click on the system tray icon and choose the higher fan profile and game. Then when you finish gaming you can choose a created lower fan profile. my graphic card is from zotac GTX280AMP i think they have had a quality problem with that cards i have verified the error today ... The card runs pretty normal until it reachs 90 degress celcius ... and from here i have flickering black polygons ...

moogman79 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thx for your help and the info for this programm...but i will make a RMA of this VGA Card .... To bad for my Supplyer everytime i buy a piece or Hardware i is defective.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 2, 2009 You may want to try the EVGA tool. Some models of the 280 cards came with fan settings that are much too low. These cards tend to overheat and especially in cases that may have low airflow. You can work around this with the EVGA tool. Keep in mind that if your issue is the fan speed, an RMA will not resolve this. It certainly cannot hurt to test it before you go to the trouble and time of an RMA. Let us know how it works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogman79 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 thanks for your affort, but i think for myself the fan is okay .... and i also think the vga should work without error till it reaches the overtemp shutdown.... 90 Degress celcius should be not to much for a gtx280... b.t.w. i have got my new board today ... Asus P6T6 Revolution (what a name....) and the Corsair ddr3 tri kit ..... i have now some qestions on these ... (please look at my other tread related to that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
