MJO Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi I have the above mentioned motherboard and 4 sticks of memory. Please note the revisions, it is in my specs. Using my Asus motherboard none of them works, they all fail using Memtest 86+ version 2.11. And they fail when installed individually, when installed in pairs and when they are all installed at once. I have recently updated the motherboard to the most recent BIOS, 1703. I have tested the four modules in another motherboard and they work just fine and I have also tested another module in my motherboard that works out fine as well. The one working fine is a regular Corsair XMS2 6400C4 module. What can I do to make these modules work? I have tried giving them more voltage 2,2 V (didn't dare to go any higher) and I have also tested using default values in the bios. Nothing works out. I am afraid I will have to get some new modules, but I have never experienced problems using Corsair memory before? Btw the rig crash and burns when I try to activate the EPP optimizations, I have only tested this when OC'ing though, and it seems that it is a bad idea to activate it, when OC'ing. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 On most Asus board you'll have to disable USB legacy mode when using memtest. It causes false positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 28, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 28, 2009 With 4 modules I would suggest setting the memory frequency at DDR667 or DDR800 and set the memory Voltage to 2.1 Volts and set the NB/MCH/SPP Voltage to +.2 Volts as well and test the system with http://www.memtest.org. In addition, with some MB's (Mostly ASUS) you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi Sorry about the late reply. But actually I ran into problems with my GFX as well, needed to get that sorted first. Everything is working now, and I do not know why? I am using four modules at 250 MHz right now, and they all pass memtest 86+ with flying colors. I do not know what was wrong earlier, but no problems now.:p: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
