DeltaCo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi, I have had several Asus P5KC computers burn up both Corsair & Crucial memory over several months time. No overclocking, just taking default settings. Always buying what the configurator shows as compatible (typically 8500). I now have a P5Q Pro with the same issue, but did update BIOS and apparently there are some memory fixes. But my old Crucial memory is now bad. This is a 3 month old PC with Corsair 550w power supply, so should be good power (on UPS also). I would like to get a 4GB kit (2x2gb) of RAM that will perform well for this board and last long, if possible. Can you recommend what to buy and tell me if I have to manually input voltage or any other settings in the P5Q Pro BIOS setup? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 9, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 9, 2009 I suggest that you use the Corsair Memory Finder to get the memory recommendations: http://www.corsairmemory.com/configurator/default.aspx If you do not plan on overclocking, PC6400 is a great choice in the DHX or XMS versions of 2 x 2GB.

DeltaCo Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I was looking at the TWIN2Xx4096-6400C4DHX, but didn't know if there was something better. Can I just use BIOS defaults or do I need to input voltage manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 9, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 9, 2009 If you want to run it at CAS4, you'll need to manually set 2.1v DRAM voltage in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCo Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Will do, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
