chuwawa Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 have you try to clear cmos yet before switching ram? Or if you used 4 dimms (2x2gb + 2x4gb) make sure you manualy set to slowest memory's speed and timing. ie; If the 2x2gb is 1333 c10 and the 2x4gb is 1333 c9, then manualy set all dimms to 1333 c10 first to see it stable or not. But always make sure that your memory slot are clean enough.. sometimes dust in the other two slot can make a spankin new memory behaved badly if inserted to those long neglected slot.

manolaren Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 yes i cleared it before switched mem's. i use only the new ones (2x4gb) as i wanted to replace the old ones and not to have them together and yes i cleared slots too. ty for answering :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 What version number are the modules your trying to use? I have a hunch but need the version number first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manolaren Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 9-9-9-24 1.50v ver8.16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuwawa Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 have you tried manually set the command rate to 2t? try that first before you do a bios update.. found a link of someone with your pair of stick (same type and version) running to stability issue too.. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?p=584672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 9-9-9-24 1.50v ver8.16 Well, my hunch was wrong. I was counting on the being verion 8.2x and that would have explained your issue, But Ver 8.1x should be 256mb IC and shouldn't be a problem. I would test one stick at a time with memtest in the first slot to be sure you don't have a failing module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 i have already the latest bios (2103) so i can only try what your link suggests. ty for your interest :) Those instructions from RAMGUY would be for an AMD system and would be different from your Intel board.

manolaren Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 i cant find a command rate option in my asus p5qc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuwawa Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Those instructions from RAMGUY would be for an AMD system and would be different from your Intel board. Sorry my bad for not noticing... command rate should be in bios settings under ai tunner... but I have scour the screenshots using google for your board... didn't find ones that labelled as command rate :p: Have you tried the memtest like peanutz suggest?

manolaren Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 do you think setting volts to 1.65 is too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
