New mobo doesn't like my ram.

FB · 06-10-2005, 06:19 PM

Test 8 errors in memtest when running at stock speeds and 2-2-2-5 timings @ 2.8v

worked perfect in my older mobo, but too 3.45v to get to 240fsb, but that was the only issue.

nevermind, i am just sending this thing back.

FB Im sorry to hear you are having issues.I have this board to be excellent though a bit finicky. Once you figure it out its solid as a rock, and fast as a bullet. I wish I could offer some words of wisdom here but im stumped. Sierra should have a good solution for you though. I believe he had helped me out when I initially set this baby up. Im not entireley sure on the inital issue I had but I believe it was related to the SATA drives and had to use an IDE to load windows. Actually come to think of it my OS is still on an IDE drive and my data is on a Caviar SATA drive.

i have my RMA number now for newegg, and i am going to loose about 25.00 now for trying out this mobo

it refuses to work with my ram which i know works at 2.8v @ 2-2-2-5 on my Gigabyte board.

if i still had some TCCD to try out i would, but i don't

found out which stick is not working correctly, any ideas on what i should do? don't really want to RMA the ram again because it is not working properly.

Have you tried using the OCZ booster yet?

Give the VX stuff some juice!!

FB · 06-10-2005, 11:35 PM

it is normal "new bh-5" i will give it some juice, but it should run at 2-2-2-5 @ 2.85v at 200mhz right? it is spec'd at 2.8v @ 2-2-2-5

Underwater Mike · 06-11-2005, 09:28 AM

Yup, should run at those specs. Did you try posting a question over at the OCZ Support forums?

yup, it is a problem with the mobo, when you set trcd of 2, it drops the vdimm to 2.7 and you can do anything about it.
