Hawkeye4077 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So anyways, I bought some ram that I "figured" would be ok with my new Phenom II system, but I seem to have some instabilities trying to run 4 sticks even at default settings. This ram is marketed by Corsair as usuable for i5/i7 systems, not AMD. By instabilities I mean rebooting is hit or miss. Sometimes it works at defualt 1333mhz speeds, and sometimes at 1600 speeds. The bios detects the normal and XMP speeds. I have tried hard-setting the timings/voltage. So my question, is this ram specifically manufactured to work with Intel systems as opposed to working with both Intel and AMD? In the past most XMSxx series has been pretty much universally compatible. I got caught off-guard in this case, and cannot return the ram (go Newegg!!) This board is very new, it's not even in the Corsair configuration system yet. Hopefully Ram Guy can find some settings to work with AMD in his magic bag of tricks.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 14, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 14, 2009 With 2 sets DDR1066 or DDR133 would be suggested and with an AMD platform the fastest you can run the memory would be DDR1333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye4077 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well currently I downgraded to the release 1.0 bios and set timings in bios to 1600mhz 9-9-9-24-41 1.65v and I seem to be doing good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
