CLiNTPELiX Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 ---------------------------------------- What I've done: Not using XMP coz informations make me a bit nervous (XMP: 8-7-7-20 @1.65V CR:2N ICM@1.15V PCH: 1.15V) Manual settings: 7-7-7-20 @1.50V CR:2N ICM:Default (Everest says 1.51V bit I can lowered it to 1.05) PCH: 1.05V tested that 8 hours without error. Rendez-vous in a week for a complete report ---------------------------------------- Hi! (2*4 GB were not available to buy) Just bought those memories for 7-7-7-20 timings at 1600 MHz. When I use XMP profile, I can see 8-7-7-20 at 1.65V on bios so CL8? Correct me if i'm wrong... When I use Everest under Windows, I can see that I'm always at 9-9-9-24 even If I play with bios settings. May I wait for Asus bios release to get it lower? Sincerely.

Wired Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 FYI it sounds like you're reading the SPD info in Everest, not the actual timings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanx for the answer. Bios and everest said 9-9-9-24. I've tested each ram and the results were the same. So, I've managed to reset the bios removing the little battery on my board and this problem disappeared (I've had to change rams position to get stability Vista performance test ...) Now I can run at XMP timings/voltage with 4*2 GB ram. :sunglasse My other question is about Xmp timings: I've bought 7-7-7-20 and xmp returns for each ram 8-7-7-20. Corsair site and my seller shows 7-7-7-20 at 1.65V timings (each module is a 2.2 version). Can you light me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 See if XMP works when just one kit is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wow not easy to config... I've just tested the kits after hours with those config: 7-7-7-20 1.5V 1N (think 2N is better for 4 ram...have to test in time) IMC and PCH default. The config is pretty stable... Does default voltage@1.65V could makes instabilities? I'm very disapointed by differences on XMC info, Corsair Website infos, seller's infos, and writings on memory module ...

CLiNTPELiX Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've managed to tune my bios manually. 7-7-7-20 @ 1.5V CR:1N PCH:1.05V ICM:Default. Tests are ok for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 23, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 23, 2009 Command Rate should be 2N with more than two modules installed but it is a CPU or memory controller setting not a memory setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 After many hours of testing, those settings are stable in windows. But, every time I completely shutdown my MB and restart, I can notice memtest86+ errors even If I use XMP profile settings or 9-9-9-24 timings and default voltages. This issue occurs even If I use 1 of those 2 kits... When this happens, I must completely power down my MB to achieve a perfect no error in memtest86+. For the moment, I look for a bios update or a PSU problem (I have noticed no bad voltage for the moment). Thank you for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 26, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 26, 2009 That might be several things causing that but I would suspect it may be the voltage droop on cold boot, have you spoke to the MB Maker about that?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 27, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 27, 2009 NP Please let us know what they say and we can go from there, but if you can test them on another system that might help to isolate the problem as well.

CLiNTPELiX Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 That might be several things causing that but I would suspect it may be the voltage droop on cold boot, have you spoke to the MB Maker about that? Because of your advice, I've just read my MB book. Page 3-14 section 3.3.18 CPU Load Line Calibration[AUTO] 3 choices: [AUTO] BIOS automatically adjust the voltage (default option) [DISABLED] Follows Intel specifications [ENABLED] Improve CPU VDroop directly For the moment, disabling this option makes my system booting ok for 10 times. You rock my day, man! Thank you Ram Guy! Cheers! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 False joy, The problem is the same. Have to see another thing to fix it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 After many tests, I can say only one of those two kits makes cold boot problems. When RMA is asked, will the replaced kit be in the same version (2.2) for compatibility as the faulty one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 7, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 7, 2009 I am sorry but no there is no way to know what version the set will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 wow... I must send all those two kits? I'm not a "nolife" man but I can't live without my pc... What is the average RMA time exchange for France? Another solution is possible? (eg. receive new kits and after I send you mine) Thanks Ramguy for your help.

CLiNTPELiX Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I've requested a RMA because a stick of ram is faulty but not answer. My Case number is 1201680. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi! I've requested RMA since 13 november for my first kit but nothing else since. Can you help me please? (Since, I've used another PSU I'm clearely sure one stick is faulty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiNTPELiX Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi all! Yesterday, I've received by UPS my new kit and it works perfectly with the other one. I've got the same version I've sent :) I haven't need to raise IMC for the moment. Thanks goes to Ramguy and Wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
