mjrtoo Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Right now I am happily running the GA-8IK1100 with 1 set of TWINX512-3200LLPT, which I purchased quite a while ago. I'm looking at possibly getting another set of the same RAM. I've read about some issues a while back on this site but cant seem to find the threads anymore. Has anyone had problems doing this? I'm assuming that the chip will be different on the new sticks, could that lead to problems? Thanks for your input. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 4, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 4, 2004 Matt, If your system is stable, I would not change it. And I would not suggest 4 modules that are at Cass 2 with this chipset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrtoo Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 I really now need to upgrade my RAM. Would you suggest the TWINX1024-3200LLPT over getting another pair of TWINX512-3200LLPT? Or, would you suggest less aggressive corsair memory at the 1 GB range better than any LL RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 16, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 16, 2004 If you need more memory with this MB I would suggest Twinx1024-3200 if you can find another use for these modules in another system. If you don’t have another use and you get another set to add to these I would try and manually set the timings to Cass 2-3-3-6 and set the Dim Over voltage Control to +.1 Volts.

mjrtoo Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 I've successfully installed another set of TWINX512-3200LLPT at 2.5-3-2-6 with DIMM +.2V. Works great and very stable as well. Thanks Corsair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrtoo Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 I also experimented with your original setting as well, that worked too. Would you recommend one setting over another 2.5, 6, 2, 3 or 2, 6, 3, 3 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 7, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 7, 2004 If either setting will work with out generating errors, I would suggest testing with some benchmarking software to see which setting yields the best over all performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrtoo Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 2 6 3 3 is the better setting by almost 700 MB/s. While my overall Sandra benchmark did suffer over a single set of the RAM, I kind of expected that. But running dual sets of dual channel ram at 2 6 3 3 while solid as a rock is still pretty freakin amazing to me. Thanks Corsair, and while this board seems to get some complaints, I still think it's a very stable and reliable board and CAN run top end RAM at very low latency.
