biscuitboy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi, I am having real issues and I am pretty sure it lies with the ram. Prime 95 runs fine in the CPU based tests, but the Ram based tests cause Bsods and random restarts and will not pass test 1. I am getting freezes in game etc. I think it is to do with the Ram, Have run Memtest and it found Tons of errors from addresses 12 to 500 when I stopped it after 4 hours, also, have underclocked the ram and cpu to test stability and it still found errors in the ram. (have pictures of results if needed.) Updated the bios to a more recent version (was having problems also with previous bios.) Ram does seems to be getting Hot, I have good cooling in my case. Am running the ram at: 2.0v Cas Latency: 7 tRCD: 7 tRP: 7 tRAS: 20 with everything else set to auto. Frequency is: 533mhz HT Link set at 2000mhz, NB: 2000mhz, Cpu running at 3.4ghz with ACC enabled at 0% on all the cores to unlock 4th core... (Have also tried with ACC disabled running just 3 cores but problem still occurs and prime 95 passes cpu test so 4th core is OK and not the issue.) CPU is running at around 40 under load so not a temp problem, Have tried ram in slots 1+2 (orange) and also 3+4 (green). Pleeeease help. Regards Dan.

biscuitboy Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Am I ever going to recieve a reply to this post or my PM Ram Guy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 10, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am sorry your post was over looked, and will the memory pass at DDR800? If not then Let's get them replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them. However with the CPU that you have DDR800 would have to be used and then to get the f8ull speed you would need to over clock the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuitboy Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks for the reply, been pulling my hair out. The ram is stable at 800, I have it running at 466 at the minute with the cpu at 3.5ghz and fairly stable so not a bad overclock... Can you give me an idea of the timings, volts and clocks that should work etc to get the ram running at 1066... Tried overclocking the cpu and the NB and HT link ie (CPU at 3.6ghz, NB 2ghz, HT link, 2.3ghz, and the ram at stock timings at 2.0v but not stable at all. Will test the ram at 800 as soon as I get a bit of time. Thanks Ram guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuitboy Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Helloooo?? Still no reply? Was hoping for some recommended settings to get the Ram to run at 1066 as I have gotten nowhere near as yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 10, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 10, 2009 You may have to over clock the CPU to get them to run at the full speed but you would do that by lowering the CPU Multiplier and setting the CPU FSB to 266 MHz with the memory frequency set to DDR800.

biscuitboy Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 My board doesnt seem to have the right timings available in the bios to run at 7-7-7-20, Closest I can get is 7-6-6-18, suppose that means I cant run this ram at 1066 then, wont boot at 266 fsb.... Closest I can get is 240 fsb with those timings and that isnt really stable. :( Is there something I should be looking for in the bios to let me run looser timings???? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuitboy Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Okay, figured out that I can only set the timings looser that 7-6-6-18 if I set the Ram to 1066 in the bios... However this wont post, as you said, I need to set it to 800 and lower the multi and oc the FSB, but cant do that! Tried setting the ram to 1066 in bios and loosening the timings, but leaving the FSB clock at 240 with a 11 multi but it doesnt take and CPU-z reports the 7-6-6-18 timings with 240 clock still. Grrr, think I'm gonna just buy some Reaper 8500 with Tighter timings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuitboy Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Is it possible to RMA the ram and swap it for 8500C5 memory?? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 24, 2009 I would talk to your reseller and see if they can swap them for you, other wise we can try replacing he module but they can only be replaced for the same part that you send in.
