hixxstar Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 First post, so be gentle with me..... :p: Self build system 14mth ago with 2x1gb dominator pc8500 2.20v... no probs at all last week i bought another 2x1gb pair dominators to compliment my others... to make 4x1gb memm i assumed they would be the same... the 'new' ones are 2.10v ?? & now i get regular BSOD.. browser crashes... reinstalled windows xp pro.. new HHD... I have reverted to my 'old' original 2x1gb 2.20v & taken out the 'new' 2.10v memm.. How do i make the 4x1gb work together ??? do i drop all volts to 2.10v.. or up to 2.20v to make compatable.. stable ?? hope everything is clear & a solution is possible..... Thank you in advance (hope this is in the right section)....... ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I would never suggest mixing memory but you are welcome to try it, however with 4 modules on that MB I would suggest setting the memory frequency at DDR667or 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. mixing different versions is not a good idea and not supported but you may still get it working following the above quote. also posting in green is an eyesore FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
