cnchang Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's a dice throw if you are looking for SLi to work in your board. I would advise you to go with 6400C5 memory and that board. Why can't ask Corsair to fulfill its promise according to Corsair Guaranteed-Compatible SLI-ready memory for the specific board? Some users may not care to run 1066, but some other users may want to pay more for guaranteed higher performance with their higher end CPUs.

DerekT Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yes, you mistake my words. You asked for a guarantee and there isn't one due to the issue being: Command to access and uptake of the the EPP data library. Then set the data for memory and perform bios changes by this uptake. Somewhere in that transaction issues are occurring and the issue is not DRAM related since Corsair sets their EPP enabled memory to EPP memory table standards.

cnchang Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 When a system fails to run a set of SLI / EPP modules, it's typically the BIOS at fault, and not the memory. That is exactly where I want to draw a line. If nVidia nForce 750a or 780a mobo should support EPP according to nVidia spec, then mobos employed these nVidia chipsets should support SLI-ready memory as to avoid confusion and wrong perception. If this is a commonly accepted idea, then users and manufactures have a standard, in this case EPP, to abide by. If one manufacture's nForce 750a or 780a board itself or its BIOS does not deliver EPP with SLI-Ready RAM inserted, then who is at fault is no longer a moot. But for now, I am still perplexed by the conflicted nVidia spec and Corsair compatibility reports. For example, I did not find nVidia GeForce 8200 chipset board got listed as EPP support mobo by nVidia. But, Corsair put MSI GeForce 8200 chipset board K9N2G Neo as Guaranteed Compatible mobo with some SLi-Ready Corsair DDR2 memory. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a set of memory is suggested for a motherboard, this does not automatically mean it is SLI/EPP compatible. Nowhere in our documentation does it say our memory specifically will run SLI/EPP profiles with this MSI board. We also recommned memory with SLI/EPP profiles for motherboards using Intel chipsets and AMD chipsets. So, I'm not really clear on what you are asking or what your issue is. Can you please clarify? Also, you may want to start your own thread if you have an issue as this has no bearing on the original topic for this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you may want to start your own thread if you have an issue as this has no bearing on the original topic for this thread. You just posted where the confusion comes from. I wonder if it is too much to ask for further clarifying the compatibility list to the extend that users can tell whether a specific board is tested and known to work natively, by directly reading and using EPP data, with specific SLi-ready Corsair memory at its EPP specified/rated speed and timing, thus to avoid all possible confusions. By the same token, if users see a compatible pair of a mobo and those not-EPP-earmarked 1066-rated memory, they can rest assured the guaranteed compatible pair, with some manual tweaking, is not just capable of running to 800 but to the rated speed and timing. I agree this thread is winding down to the point of no return or should make a new beginning. Unless you see the need to make EPP standard based components gear toward less confusion and less uncertainty, making this thread longer or starting a new one will not really benefit anyone, I think.
