Totenkopfjager Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi All, Ok so my PC was build last year sometime and it use to Run with 2x 1 Gig ******** 1066 in Duel Channel (nothing Fancy I Know :D:) 4 Days ago I replaced them with TWIN2X4096-8500C5D (1 Kit) but the Motherboard only boots up if the Corsair Ram is set on DDR2 800 if i change it to DDR2 1066, 2.1v the Board Does not boot at all (black Screen) Last night as a last ditch effort I Manually set the timings to 7-7-7-18 and now Finally it works Stable Running at 1066 , 2.1v, Duel Channel :confused: My Question is... Why cant I get the Corsair Ram to Run @ 1066 with 5-5-5-15/18 T2, 2.1v timing, only 7-7-7-18 on 2.1v ? I've also tried upping the NB volts to 1.3v with no success (its back to Auto now) I have the Latest P5Q BIOS My PC is OC'ed but even on Stock settings the ram Fails to boot on 5-5-5-15 FSB = 400 Multipl = 8.0x 3.2 Ghz is enough for me (unless its the problem :biggrin:) I have Cleared Cmos too, and I think its settings not Faulty RAM Any Help Would be Most Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 28, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 28, 2009 Please check that you have the latest BIOS and then with only one module installed go to BIOS setup and load setup defaults and then set the memory frequency and Voltage IE DDR1066 at 2.1 Volts and leave the timings at Auto and then disable Legacy USB and run http://www.memtest.org oin the modules one at a time to be sure one is not failing.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 1, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 1, 2009 They are rated at DDR1066 at 2.1 Volts Cas 5-5-5-15 and that is what I would set them to, did you test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org?
