dionysusd Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I bought Dominator PC 8500 memory as an "upgrade" to the PC 6400 that I had in before, however I can't get it to run at 1066 speeds any changes I make to the bios (voltage, timings, or ratio - anything other than auto) cause a failure to post. Previous memory was able to run @ 1007 stable and would boot at faster speeds. I would like to be able to take advantage of the more expensive and currently slower memory that I have purchased. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 24, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 24, 2009 Can you tell me the exact BIOS settings you have set for both CPU and memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dionysusd Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Can you tell me the exact BIOS settings you have set for both CPU and memory? FSB Freq - 419 PCIE Freq - Auto FSB Strap to NB - Auto DRAM Freq - Auto DRAM Timing Control - Auto 1st Info : 5-5-5-18-3-52-6-3 2nd Info : 8-3-5-4-6-4-7 3rd Info : 14-5-1-6-6 DRAM Static Read - Auto DRAM Read Training - Auto MEM OC Charger - Auto AI Clock Twister - Auto AI Transaction Booster - Auto C/P : A1 A2 A3 A4 : B1 B2 B3 B4 LVL : 13 13 13 13 : 13 13 13 13 CPU Volt - Auto FSB Termination Volt - Auto Memory Volt - Auto NB Volt - Auto SB Volt - Auto Load Line Calibration - Auto CPU GTC Reference - Auto CPU Spread Spectrum - Auto PCIE Spread Spectrum - Auto CPU Clock Skew - Auto NB Clock Skew - Auto CPU Margin Enchancement - Auto 1st Timing shows 5-5-5-18, but if I set it to manual it automatically sets 5-5-5-15, but will not post. Same problem if I change DRAM Freq or Volt, no post. I have never had any stability probs to warrant increasing CPU Volt and have run under heavy stress (prime95, Everest, COD ect...). I never had any probs changing memory freq in the past unless I went to high. Also I purchased your cooling unit for this ram and it sounds like bearings are shot already and have had it in less than a week, should I send it back to you or the egg? I was very excited to order and receive your products and I paid a premium for what is billed as a premium product. I want to like them but it is not going well so far. Thank you for your time and advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 29, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 29, 2009 You are over clocking your CPU, please just load setup defaults and then set the tested settings of the modules and test them with http://www.memtest.org with out over clocking the CPU, is it stable and will it pass http://www.memtest.org?
