Memory is bad...

[sotorious]

DRAM CAS# Latency - 8
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay - 8
DRAM RAS# PRE Time - 8
DRAM RAS# ACT Time – 24


on those you have alot of - do you want me to just change it to like 8 and then it will say 8 dram clock

 

[sotorious]

ok this is what i did DRAM RAS# to RAS# Delay - Auto > Try setting this to 45 "not sure" but may work on Auto. i couldnt find anything that said 45 it was all low numbers so i left it auto

I was checking out the reviews on this Ram at newegg, the reviews not very good at all although some had good luck. There were many bad sticks being detected. But getting it to work correctly seems to be very setting specific. OCZ forums might be worth a try also.

I also read that the XPM profiles are not working correctly with your memory. For 1600MHz you might also need to set 2:12 memory ratio.

Some had better luck using 1333 for memory speed.

i been there, now im wondering if i go get ram, should i just upgrade to the corisair dominators

im just trying to get my ram stable, to see if my ram is defected or my mobo... this stuff is so frustrating.

Yes the reviews are saying what you are. XMP profiles doesn't work at all and it defaults to 1066, lots of BSOD's unless settings are perfect and also lots of defective sticks. Particular about settings and difficult to set up in general but the specs from OCZ should help. QPI may need 1.25-1.35.

Believe it or not, just about every single enthusiast board requires specific memory settings to be stable but your's is a bit more of a pain than usual. I would test those new settings with memtest and see if it helps. The only reason for sticking with this memory is because RMA is a pain and takes considerable time.

It's kinda hard to say if it's a setting problem or if the memory is faulty because the reviews are all over the place. My choice for memory would be GSkill not Corsair.

i was thinking about getting those, and do you think we can cross out the motherboard being an issue???

screw even running it at 1600 right now i just wanna get my ram now screwing up in mem test with any type of clocks thats what boggles me.

 

[chev65]

After reading those reviews I think it's safe to say it's not a board problem. If there are bad sticks then of course no amount of adjusting will help but you need to at least try before you give up on them.

It might be worth it to test one stick at a time to determine if a bad stick is the cause of the problems or if it's the settings holding you back.

got new ram now about to test it hopefully here we go ill report back

ps those adjustments i did made it error like crazy

 

[sotorious]

got a huge problem bought the new ram ran mem test for 8 hours things came back fine.... but i get to windows and it only shows 4 gigs of ram in cpu z it shows six.... i guess thats it the motherboard is a goner. **** time to start stripping my computer.

I don't know that it would account for 2GB of missing ram, but I had to enable the Memory Hole in the BIOS to show 4GBs instead of 3GBs.

what memory hole??? i mean my old ram was showing 6 gigs... unless this disabled something when i put it in

 

[seekermeister]

I don't remember it's exact location, and I can't reboot at the moment to go into the BIOS, but since you have an Asus MB, I'm fairly certain that you will find it if you browse through the BIOS.

just got my system to crash

 

[sotorious]

this is so insane, i am lost for words, it only reads 4 gigs of the corsair dominators, and it reads all 6 gigs of ocz, when it does read all 6 gigs of corsair it blue screens this is so damn weird. i think it really has something to do with the last slot in my motherboard i am now convinced. that is the only explination, maybe its not the ram that has been bad period..

im gonna take it to techs tomorrow, he is going to tell me he cant find anything, i remember last time they did that. and i ended up paying 60 bucks for no reason and finding my old problem later on down the road.

You really don't listen so well, heh?

what you have told me was update things i have already updated a file i have no idea where to find, and a certain setup with certain ram. I mean thank you for helping me and all, but telling me to take it to a specialist is really not that helpful.

i updated my bios this morning, i updated chipset a few weeks ago, i dont see how that caused a blue screen with the new ram i bought. but blue screens are not occurring on my old set of ram's

Im trying to pin the point the issue as best as i can so when i take the computer to someone they will know what do look straight 2.

 

[torrentg]

I told you which memory to get and why. And to also replace a file that you can easily do with minimal research.

???

I did the research but maybe i dont know how to search it right, i get things like it telling me some stuff i dont understand its not saying which program its coming from, people are talking about getting rid of it and it coming back.

so you think all this has to do with timing...

cause i dont understand why it cant run at clock speeds...

 

[torrentg]

This is the last post I will ever make on the subject. You should get the RAM shown on the overclocker's page since you can be sure it is good for the motherboard and all of the other reasons why I said. If they are using it to overclock the heck out of the board and cpu, it will do well for you.

are these it right here?
