hixxstar Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi peeps.... great site by the way.... Got 2x1Gb dominator PC2-8500 1066mhz running at the moment... all ok (no overclock)2.20V My other pair are 2.10v ver 1.6... to get all 4 running in my system should i leave the volts as they are... or adjust them all the same volts (2.10v/2.20v) ?? & adjust in the bios to 667... 800... Asus mobo-P5K-E wifi ?? Seems silly to have 2x1Gb in my system & the same sat in the packing doing nothing... Many thanks for any pointers....

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 11, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 11, 2009 With 4 modules I would suggest setting the memory frequency at DDR667 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 14, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well technically yes but if the system is not stable then no. You might be able to get them to run at DDR800 but it will depend on the MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
