1138 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Here is my system: Abit IP35 PRO Q6600 G0 (Lapped) (9x356=3200MHz) Corsair Dominator PC2 8500 4GB (4x1GB) set to 2.20volts (2) 2.20V ver 3.1 sticks & (2) 2.15V ver 2.3 sticks EVGA 8800 Ultra Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10,000RPM Thermaltake 850W PSU Vista 64-bit Ultimate My setup will not pass memtest v3.4 with 4x1GB sticks of corsair DDR2-1066 memory, but each pair will pass memtest only using 2x1GB. So I bought 4 sticks of DDR2-1066 from another manufacturer. The voltage on my new memory is 2.1 volts and they are 4x2GB sticks. I put these in my system and it has passed memtest 2 times now & is stable with Prime95 12+ hours. Why would the corsair fail and the other manufacturer pass??? Is it the 2.1v vs 2.2v or 4x2GB vs 4x1GB sticks or the ver 3.1 with a ver 2.3??? Any ideas why this is??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It could indeed be an issue with mixing the revisions. However, a small bump on the NB voltage may solve it. Try the setting in the bios closest to 1.4v and try Memtest again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
