cler1c Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I have the ram in my sig and CPU-Z is reading it at PC3200, and not PC4000 which is what I thought I bought... Also, the model number doesn't match the ram I bought either (991482 vs 991483): Anybody with any ideas? :confused: Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 So contact the memory company and ask them what the problem is. RGone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cler1c Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Yeah, good idea. Just wanted to say thanks, RGone, and everyone else at this forum who helped me in building my first rig. I'm new to all this and would have been totally lost without this resource. I read in another post that because this is a support forum more often than not you get people reporting their problems, rather than praises which can lead to a distorted view of the reality of DFI boards. I just want to say that this is a first class mobo and building it from the ground up with all your help has been a great learning experience. Cheers!

hmf Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Those are just the SPD settings on the chip. SPD info is programmed memory frequency/timings for the bios to use when it tries to auto detect the memory settings. What are your settings under the Memory Tab? You have a legitimate complaint if the sticks don't run at 250 and advertised timing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 agreed 'hmf' but he also was worried about the part number and only the memory company can truly give him an answer > he 'should' be able to sink his teeth into.

hmf Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 That's true..When I got a set of crucial ballistix 1 gb sticks each static pack was labeled with the individual part number..not the kit number. I was concerned about that til I looked at the box the pair came in and that had the kit number. I don't remember though if the spd setting showed the K designation.

cler1c Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Here's my mem tab: The other thing I'm confused about is that when I check Angry's pics of PC4000 (250MHz) ram in the stock speed database, they all show it registering at pc4000 in cpu-z, not 3200. e.g: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30076 Am I missing sth?

hmf Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I got the same ram and here are my Spd designations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Part numbers correct for the XP 4000. I use it in my Intel rig and that is how it shows up in CPUZ for me as well. I don't know wheteher Mushkin did it on purpose to SPD that way or not. I can throw it in either rig and load using the SPD timings and get to 250 with very little effort.

cler1c Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 You mean the Mushkin, or the OCZ in your sig? Is that at stock settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyefan Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I have the ram in my sig and CPU-Z is reading it at PC3200, and not PC4000 which is what I thought I bought... Also, the model number doesn't match the ram I bought either (991482 vs 991483): Anybody with any ideas? :confused: Thanks! those part #s and SPD information are absolutely correct, don't worry 991482 is Mushkin XP4000 1GB single sticks 991483 is Mushkin part # for matched 2GB pair of 991482 so CPU-Z always reads 991482 because each stick contains that part # I have the same stuff, see sig. Very fast, ~250mhz @ 3,3,3,8, 1T (only some sticks will do this, mine won't) ~265-270mhz @ 3,4,3,8 1T ~275-280mhz 3,4,4,8 1T ~280-285mhz 3,4,4,12 1T (again, only some sticks will do this) most pairs of this top out ~270-275mhz 3,4,4,8 1T. Not bad for $240! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
