Jibby Posted November 1, 2005 I know if you only have 1 stick of ram its suppposed to go in the orange slot closest to the edge of the board but can I put it in the slot closest to the socket? I really need to because my xp-120 blocks that first spot so I have to remove the heatsink to get the ram out. The redlines with the new heatspreader is too tall to get out by itself.

RyderOCZ Posted November 1, 2005 It probably won't boot....just insert both sticks...its not a hard and fast rule that you have to boot with 1 stick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Despotes Posted November 1, 2005 Definately won't boot. Tried it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jibby Posted November 3, 2005 Dang and yes it is a rule for me. This board will boot about 5% of the time with 2 sticks which I don't get. Another thing I don't get is I have to boot into bios and manually change the FSB back down to 200 from 250 or else the 2nd stick won't boot at all. I can't even clear CMOS and have the system boot. It's really frustrating having to remove the ram everytime I need to boot up my computer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hung Posted November 3, 2005 This is absolutely pathetic!!! Take that damn xp120 off there and get a xp90c. There is absolutely no difference in cooling whatsoever. Then you can mount whatever ram in whatever slot..... Just disgusting! Hung Lo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could look at my OC database entry for a refernece, or post all of your settings so we can look at them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can easily damage the board or the mounts or both with the excessive weight, and it only cools a maximum of 2C better than the Aluminum version before you around throwing out bad advice, you maybe want to think about it for a bit...
