damork Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I just received my order of the TWINX2048-3200C2PT package from Newegg today and upon installation, the SPD info from Everest & CPU-Z is: SPD Field Value Memory Module Properties Module Name Corsair CMX1024-3200C2 Serial Number None Module Size 1024 MB (2 ranks, 4 banks) Module Type Unbuffered Memory Type DDR SDRAM Memory Speed PC3200 (200 MHz) Module Width 64 bit Module Voltage SSTL 2.5 Error Detection Method None Refresh Rate Reduced (7.8 us), Self-Refresh Memory Timings @ 200 MHz 3.0-3-3-8 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) Memory Module Features Early RAS# Precharge Not Supported Auto-Precharge Not Supported Precharge All Not Supported Write1/Read Burst Not Supported Buffered Address/Control Inputs Not Supported Registered Address/Control Inputs Not Supported On-Card PLL (Clock) Not Supported Buffered DQMB Inputs Not Supported Registered DQMB Inputs Not Supported Differential Clock Input Supported Redundant Row Address Not Supported Memory Module Manufacturer Company Name Corsair Memory, Inc. Product Information http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/products.html Why doesn't the SPD indicate 2-3-3-6 timing? Please advise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Why doesn't the SPD indicate 2-3-3-6 timing? Please advise.This is NORMAL. You are supposed to set the timings / voltage manually with this part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 23, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 23, 2008 You will want to set the memory timings and voltage manually as Wired said. Voltage should be 2.75v, and the tested memory timings are 2-3-3-6 (CAS - tRCD - tRP - tRAS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damork Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks for the response. My motherboard is an ASUS A7N8X-E deluxe running the latest bios (1013), and I believe it was the last revision made. Processor is Athlon XP 2600+ Barton Core. Voltage choices are 2.6, 2.7, or 2.8 based on what comes up in the bios. Does anyone know if it is possible to make it show 2.75v or is that something you type in to show 2 decimal places? Many of my options are still greyed out, so I'll have to read the manual a bit more I guess. Pardon me for the ignorance but I haven't made many changes to this part of the bios on this system. This ram is replacing pair of 512 meg Corsair dual channel ram that ran with default settings - just want to make sure I get the most from this ram. I'm not planning on overclocking, but want it right. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 23, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 23, 2008 For that MB and CPU please install the modules in slot 2-3 and then enter the BIOS and load setup default and set these settings. CPU Freq: 166 MHz System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts Resulting Frequency: 166MHz Memory Timings: Manual/User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time there are a pair of TwinX1024-3200XL running in my system. Full stable by BIOS Option set to "System Performance: Agressive" and Dim Voltage at 2.6 Volts. After I had some Problems with RAM-Kit from another manufacturer (Block move Error) I have sended them back to my reseller and asked him for a Corsair TwinX2048-3200C2. I have made very good experience with the Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL. My Question: May the Twinx2048-3200C2 (or C2PT) run at "Agressive System Performance" or must I observe some other BIOS settings?! Wich are recommended or rather possible? Is there a difference between C2 and C2PT or is it just the Color? I haven't buy the 2GB-Kit yet, but if you tell me it runs best and full stable I would be very pleased and buy it. Thanks for any helpfull answers ahead :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 8, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yes Twinx2048-3200C2 is the best and only choice right now just replace what you have now and the Voltage should be 2.75 Volts and just remember to load setup defaults and then set the Voltage to 2.75 Volts and set the memory frequency at 100% and set the timings to Cas 2.5-3-3-6 and you should be good to go.
