override Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hi, as allready listed in my title i have a total of 8 GB 4 X CM3X2048-1333C9DHX first i had the 1600 version but that kept running unstable and with memtest i had allot of errors. than i bought these from the QVL list i checked the website and it sais the timing is 9-9-9-24 with 1.6 volts checked in a pair of 2 now i have the memory infront of me and it sais 9-9-9-24 1.5V ver1.2 is ver 1.2 also on the QVL list ? i checked the 4 with memtest and it showed over a 100 of errors. with 1.6 volts even more errors i tried setting all my bios settings to automatic and its runs much better than. did anoter memtest and still errors. removed 4 gb and ran memtest again and found errors replaced the 4 gb with the other 4 gb and found errors. i'm allready struggling for months to get this working stable and i just cant seem to be able to get it running normally. the motherboard simple doesnt support this memory cause its ver 1.2 ? i'm running outa id's here and i really want my system to be stable getting only a few bsods a day but its still WAY to much. help please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 2, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 2, 2009 We do not submit our modules to any MB maker for them to qualify, if a MB maker has our modules listed it is normally because they had the memory from another source. And I have posted this about mixing Two sets of module many times. With 4 modules I would suggest setting the memory frequency at DDR1066 and set the memory Voltage to 1.7-1.90 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...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 2, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 2, 2009 If you buy two sets of Twin modules they may or may not run at full speed as far as a specific CPU I would check with AMD but I have not seen any information from them specifically about fully loaded systems they normally dump that on the MB maker to explain. However, like I suggested we can only promise the tested settings on a supported system for how the modules are sold IE One set or Two or Four modules not mixing Two sets.

override Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 i just found out my store is able to order the quad kit aswel CMX8GX3M4A1333C9 if i get that 1 am i able to run on 1333 than or still same story ? the manufacturar of the MB doesnt gaurantee that kit to work on this MB though can you ? why did you say check with AMD btw ? i got a intel and asus MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
override Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 also my question still remaines why the simple 2 X 2 GB is not working either cause just 2 memory slots is giving me errors aswel :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 2, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 2, 2009 They should run at DDR1333 but with 4 modules some MB's not only AMD may have to run them at a slower speed, that part is Qualified on an Intel Core I5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
override Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 i will try the settings you gave me With 4 modules I would suggest setting the memory frequency at DDR1066 and set the memory Voltage to 1.7-1.90 Volts and set the NB/MCH/SPP Voltage to +.2 Volts NB = nortbridge ? MCH = memory controler hub ? spp ? no clue which 1 that is the voltage should just be between 1.7 and 1.9 ? if i put it on 1.8 should function ? sorry for asking so much i just checked my BIOS and i can only find Dram voltage NB voltage SB voltage edit 2 : i just noticed the other guy modified my post and removed my processor type why is that ?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 2, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 2, 2009 No one deleted any thing from your post that I know of, if that does happen leave it alone and post on the thread I will take care of it. And on some MB's/Chipsets the memory controller is in the CPU and sometimes its in the NB Chipset IE the setting could be just NB (Normally for Intel) or for some Intel chipsets they will call it Memory Controller Hub MCH for short, and with some Nvidia chipsest they may call it System Platform Processor SPP for short. so it could any of the three or a combination of them. Looks like your would be the (NB) setting and increase it +.2 Volts over default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
override Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 i just did what you said and my computer refuses to boot normaly now once i set the settings and pick save and exit the computer is rebooting and just shuts itself off than when i put it back on again. my monitor keeps saying no signal and nothing happends. than i shut it off again and put it back on than it starts to boot up and gives a error '' overclocking failed '' if i just shut off the computer now it keeps repeating itself if i hit the reset button the computer restarts and boots without problem and keeping the bios settings doesnt really seem to be normal :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 2, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 2, 2009 What are the exact settings you have set for both CPU and memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
override Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 i've set the Dram tot 1.8 and the NB tot 1.3 ( standard was 1.1 ) changed the frequency to 1066 set the timing on 9-9-9-24 and thats all i changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

override Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 thats wot it seems to be :biggrin: if any 1 else have the same setup as me and having issues you can solve it this way i guess still prefer getting rid of the overclock failure message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
