Soup Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hello all, I have been searching the forums for a like problem and have found some, but with no clear solution. I built this system about 8 months ago, and everything seemed to work fine, and I did not change anything in the BIOS. 3 months later I would start getting random freezes, and recently noticed my first freeze at POST and also when going into the BIOS. As I have been searching there seems to be alot of talk about this mobo memory combo. Has there been any clear set of settings that will make this work? I do not like to RMA unless I really have to. I can't see why there would be a need to change hardware, this should work....shouldn't it? As it is now, I have lowered the FSB (linked) and things have stabilized as noticed in one post, but this is kind of unacceptable. What do I need to do to run this combo as it should be run i.e. clock settings....etc? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 24, 2009 There is no problem at all that I know if with that MB running these modules, have we tried replacing the modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 No I have not, but would I really need to if the modules are running fine at 1066 FSB? I have read about voltages and timing, and it seems like there is a problem. I'm still with the stock BIOS, so I will update that and hope for the best. I just keep reading threads and it makes it very confusing on which options to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Can you list ALL of the settings you have made in the BIOS for memory, CPU, and voltages? And, describe what troubleshooting you have done. If you don't have a faulty component somewhere in the mix, this combo should run fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I have the FSB linked with mem @ 1066. Changed the voltage to 1.625, and changed timing to 9-9-9-24 2T. Before this I had never changed from the default settings: FSB and mem (1333, 1066.7 detected) was set to auto, timing was set to Optimal (7-7-7-? 1T detected). For the longest time, I was thinking I needed to re-install or HDD was going bad, but that is just not the case. So far with these changes I have been up and running for over 4 hours. Could you explain the FSB and Mem for me, do they need to be alike or is the mem always going to be under the FSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 All you should have to do is these settings: CAS Latency (tCL): 9 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 9 Row Precharge (tRP): 9 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 24 Memory Voltage: 1.6 Volts Depending on your system, you may have to bump up the voltage to the chipset a bit.

Soup Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Ok, I have that. It is not stable when I bring the FSB to 1333. I have not updated any drivers or BIOS since I built this. I will attempt that now and try to put it back to 1333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whilsky Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi how did you get on, i'm having kinda similar probelms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 30, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 30, 2009 Did you try the memory Voltage at 1.7-1.8 Volts and did you run http://www.memtest.org at DDR1333 on each module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
