Kirkis Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hello all, I have bought in the past Intel i7 920 and X58 platinum m/b. Due to financial reasons I got only 1 memory kit TW3X4G1333C9DHX of 4 Gb and installed it. The computer worked fine. Later on, I decided to increase the memory and bought another kit that I installed on the other channel so I have 8 Gb Ram working. Yesterday I got another kit. Problem started when I tried to fill in the last Ram slots. The computer will not POST. Before you start telling me to get the 3x kits, a thing that I know it will solve the problem I wanna ask if I can walk around this problem my lowering the voltage from 1.6v (dual channel 1333 operation) to 1.5v (1066 operation). I am at the ofice at the moment so I cant really try it. Has anyone done anything similar? Do you think this might work? It a pity to have another kit unused and I cant afford buying new memory modules :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You can try lowering the voltage, but it isn't guaranteed to solve the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
