eseidel Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi, I currently have Corsair 2x512mb (CMX512-3200XL) version 1.1. I purchased from newegg.com another GB of identical ram to make sure I was safe with a compatible ram upgrade. I have a P4-C800E Deluxe mobo with a 3.4Ghz Pentium 4 extreme edition cpu. When I installed the additional 2x512 3200XL the computer would start up windows, then crashes immediately. I also ran MemTest86 and got a ton of errors during Test #3. I noticed that the new 2x512 I got from newegg were version 1.2. I already had 2x512 but it was version 1.1. Are the different versions imcompatible or are the new 2x512 I purchased just defective? In other words, should I return the sticks to newegg or just get them replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Test ONE stick at a time, not all 4 at a time. They're not rated @ 2-2-2-5-1T for more than 2 sticks. Try 3-3-3-8-2T w/ 4 sticks. Diff between v1.1 and v1.2 is the PCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eseidel Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 How do I change the latency timings? I don't see anything for that in BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 7, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 7, 2005 The memory settings will be under advanced chipset and you need to set the memory voltage to 2.75 Volts for 2 modules and 2.85 Volts for four modules.
