henriette Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hello. Board = ASUS A7N8X-X. Momentarily BIOS settings (2x512MB RAM): CPU ext. freq: 166MHz Memory Voltage: 2.7V Memory freq: [by SPD] resulting freq: 200MHz memory timings: aggressive SDRAM active precharge delay: 8 SDRAM RAS to CAS delay: 3 SDRAM RAS precharge delay: 3 SDRAM CAS latency: 2,5T Need to upgrade to 2GB memory. Have been searching the web for days --> "TWINX2048-3200C2(PT)" is only to find as matched = 1 module which I MUST NOT use for my board. Also "under no circumstances" ValueSelect! --> please read corsairHP: http://www.corsairmemory.com/configurator/product_results.aspx?id=4065 Where can I find an onlineshop that sells the above TWIN as TWO module-Kit ? Urgently needed. Can anyone help me ? henriette :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 TWINX2048-3200C2* means a pair, so you don't need to specify a 2 stick kit. Not sure where you can get it overseas, but you can get it from NewEgg in the USA. Search for TWINX2048-3200C2 (no PT), as the PT simply means platinum colored. Probably get better search results that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi Wired, found a reseller who says that he sells the TWINX2048-3200C2-KIT with 2 modules à 1024MB. IS a PT. Just waiting for his answer ref. warranty etc. Thanks a lot for helping tip, meaning without "PT" searching. henriette :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 9, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 9, 2009 The VS2GBKit400C3 modules will work with that MB it should not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 RAM GUY :): corsair-HP say expressly that for Nforce2 "VS" under no circumstances to use! All is well cause today I received the pair "TWINX2048-3200C2PT" :D: Now my Quest how to set the BIOS :confused: Momentarily BIOS settings (2x512MB RAM): CPU ext. freq: 166MHz Memory Voltage: 2.7V Memory freq: [by SPD] resulting freq: 200MHz memory timings: aggressive SDRAM active precharge delay: 8 SDRAM RAS to CAS delay: 3 SDRAM RAS precharge delay: 3 SDRAM CAS latency: 2,5T Will my BIOS set automatically, when I just replace the 2x512MB by the 2x1024MB (TWINX) ? If not could I take the above setting again, except SDRAM active precharge delay: now 6 :confused: Board: ASUS A7N8X-X AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (runs at 1920MHz with below BIOS-settings). Note: I'm thankful for every MHz :!: What would you recommend how and what to do. I am not very familiar with these settings to say the least :(: Best Regards henriette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 You'd have to set the voltage manually. What does HP have to do with this though? Who specifically said not to use VS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 HP = homepage please read (middle for Nforce2 400): http://www.corsairmemory.com/configurator/product_results.aspx?id=4065 henriette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 That link does list VS sticks and lists the exact part # Ram Guy mentioned. Scroll down a bit to see the full list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Information about the NVIDIA nForce2 400 Chipset ** IMPORTANT NOTE ** For maximum system stability, Corsair recommends the use of XMS memory ONLY with nForce 2 motherboards. Value Select memory is NOT RECOMMENDED. The nForce2 platform processors not only carry the new generation architecture consisting of DDR400 controller and AGP8X graphics interface, but also integrates the innovative Dynamic adaptive speculative pre-processor (DASP) and Hyper-Transport Technology to boost the overall system performance. henriette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 9, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 9, 2009 Just replace what you have now with VS2GBKit400C3 and set these settings Momentarily BIOS settings (2x512MB RAM): CPU ext. freq: 166MHz Memory Voltage: 2.7V Memory freq: [100%/1-1/3-3] resulting freq: 166MHz memory timings: aggressive SDRAM active precharge delay: 7 SDRAM RAS to CAS delay: 3 SDRAM RAS precharge delay: 3 SDRAM CAS latency: 2,5T And you should be good to go!

Wired Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 So to clarify Ram Guy, the warning is incorrect? If so, can it be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 9, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 9, 2009 Actually it was for modules that we were making back then like 4 years ago. They will be fine with what I told him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hiya :D: as I already said I received the pair "TWINX2048-3200C2PT". I have set BIOS to: CPU ext. freq: 166MHz Memory Voltage: 2.75V Memory freq: [by SPD] resulting freq: 200MHz memory timings: User Defined SDRAM active precharge delay: 6 SDRAM RAS to CAS delay: 3 SDRAM RAS precharge delay: 3 SDRAM CAS latency: 2T note: if it's anything to do with "By SPD" and "200MHz", I got CPU AMD Athlon 2600+ running at 1920MHz now which is favorable. (Athlon 2600+ = downgraded by AMD). During the night I ran "Windows Memory Diagnostic-CD" (DOS) till 7:00am. Was then pass 20. LRAND, Stride 6, WMATs+ > on > succeeded WINVC > on > active No errors have been found. If you still recommend to set Memory freq: [100%] memory timings: aggressive then please tell me so. Thank you ever so much for helping. henriette :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 13, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 13, 2009 You will have to set the memory frequency at 1-1 or DDR333 with that CPU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Ram Guy, You will have to set the memory frequency at 1-1 or DDR333 with that CPU! Do you mean CPU ext. freq: 166MHz Memory Voltage: 2.75V Memory freq: [by SPD]> 100% instead - then how to set to 1-1 ? resulting freq: 200MHz ? > leave at 200MHz ? memory timings: User Defined > once set to "aggressive" timings will go up SDRAM active precharge delay: from "6" to "8" SDRAM RAS to CAS delay: 3 SDRAM RAS precharge delay: 3 SDRAM CAS latency: from "2T" to "3T" Please forgive me for bothering you :o: henriette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 14, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 14, 2009 Memory freq: [by SPD]> 100% instead - then how to set to 1-1 ? Highlight the setting and press enter it should give you a choice, and then chose one that matches what DDR333 or 166 MHz or 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ram Guy :D: set to 100% as you were so very kind to describe :) Settings are now as follows: CPU ext. freq: 166MHz DDR Reference Voltage = 2.75V Memory freq: [100%] resulting freq: 166MHz memory timings: User Defined SDRAM active precharge delay: 6 SDRAM RAS to CAS delay: 3 SDRAM RAS precharge delay: 3 SDRAM CAS latency: 2T CPU Speed like before = 1916MHz Thank you for making me happy *thumbsup for endless patience with me* henriette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
