Willzzz Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hi I think I have already solved my problem but would appreciate if an expert could give their opinion. http://www.corsair.com/configurator/product_results.aspx?id=1529923 I have bought the above mentioned MB and the RAM recommended by the configurator. At first when I built the system it wouldn't POST, I soon found out that it would run with only 1 memory module installed. I tried all sorts of combinations with little success, sometimes it would post but not boot into windows. Eventually I checked the memory voltage settings in the BIOS which said [auto]. The default was listed as 1.5v so I changed it to 1.65v and so far it seems to be running fine (for a whole 10 mins so far!). Is that all I needed to do? If this memory is Guaranteed-Compatible why does it not work under default settings? I realise that this is probably the fault of the MB not the memory? Does the SPD not tell the MB what voltage to use? Thanks for any information given. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willzzz Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Umm, also why is my memory coming out at 669mhz, shouldn't it be 800mhz? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1332153 NB Frequency is 2141.2 MHz What does that even mean? Thanks, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 5, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 5, 2010 Please go ahead and enable XMP in the bios and it should get the memory set to the correct settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
