Ram problem
Just done a new build, I installed 4*2gb ram(1333 non ecc 9,9,9,24), seen an offer on the web of my local retailer for 2*4gb of crucial ballistix sport(1333 non ecc 9,9,9,24). Installed in the first 2 ddr slots next 2 * kingston hyper blu, making a total of 12GB ram instead of the previous 8 GB. Well it didnt seem to work too well together, few crashes etc. Looked in easy tune which is the gigabyte hardware monitor and the hyper blu ram was showing 4 memory frq timings whereas the crucial was showing 3.
Returned to retailer he tested said ram was fine, i argued it was not working in my system. Explainmore later on that
So at 3pm(uk) installed the crucial 2*4 gb ram by itself, and it has run fine, i have been out for a few hours and left pc playing a dvd, no crashes,stalls or anything since got back in. Go back into easytune and it still shows 3 memory freq timings.
Now the tech guy at retailer said i would have to manually input the latency and my argument is i shouldnt have to. So i went into bios and clicked off the auto and selected expert(this isnt with the 2 crucial sticks) but when you goto click on the latency, its all greyed out and you cannot change the auto setting which is showing. So im assuming when i go into bios for the 2 crucial sticks the situ will be the same.
So problem is how do i get the 2 crucial sticks to work with either 2*kingston sticks or 2*corsair value sticks. As its a pointless exercise buying the 8gb and not having an increase in memory size.
I dont want to buy any more ram, and i think them memory timings has got something to do with the issues created, but what do i know?
