ABYENS Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I just got my new RMA'd Ultra-D and i built up my rig. Everything's fine. Started - Optimized Defaults (Orange Slots, RAM @ 2,5-3-3-89 - installed WinXP - and so on. Then i wanted to set up the BIOS as before: Timings, Voltages and so on... With my old Ultra-D it wasn't a problem to run my BUFFALO BH-5's 2x512MB Kit @ 263Mhz 2-2-2-5 and 3,4VDimm. Now i simply set these Settings, only 2-2-2-5 - rest @ By SPD/AUTO as before. Rebooted - I don't get into Win - reboot - reboot -and so on... Then I set everything @ Optimized Defaults and just changed the timings to 2-2-2-5 and the VDimm to 2,8V. Started Memtest - Test5-200000 Errors :confused: Then (everything@ 2-2-2-5): Single Channel: Test 2, 3 and 5: 80000 Errors on each Stick Changed the sticks into the yellow Dimm-Slots: Same Errors Tried BIOS: 704-2BTA, 510-2XCEL2UPDATED, 623-3 and 623-2: Still Errors and no go with Win Then i set it to 2,5-3-3-8 - the SPD-Settings...and everything's fine. BUT WHY I CAN'T GET THEM STABLE @ 2-2-2-5 AS BEFORE? I only changed the board - nothing else! Before it was rockstable with 260Mhz 2-2-2-5 but now - no go!

KaollaSu Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Not that this has anything to do with your problem, but why did you RMA your motherboard? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABYENS Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Not that this has anything to do with your problem, but why did you RMA your motherboard? The old one crashed after every Win install and i lost all data on the HDDs (tried 5 different) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaollaSu Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 The old one crashed after every Win install and i lost all data on the HDDs (tried 5 different) This can be caused by bad memory. I've had several instances over the years of memory going bad and corrupting data on my hard drives. Subsequent reinstalls would crash. If Memtest is failing, then you should RMA the memory. That could have been your problem all along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But: The Memory is rated 2,5-3-3-8 and it wouldn't be a reason to RMA them if I say: "I can't get them stable on 2-2-2-5"... 2,5-3-3-8 - everything's fine... but 2-2-2-5 no go, i don't understand it. With the Ultra-D before everything was runnin' fine with this setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABYENS Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Tested with Memtest this night - 2,5-3-3-8 is stable for 20 runs in Memtest... 2-2-2-5 no way! Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammin Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 But when you run the memory at 2-2-2-5, it causes you to RMA mobo's? Am I missing something here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 What Mobo Rev. you got? Is it the new AD0? I've tested Kingston AK1(CH 5) and i got the same behavior. Normally the Ram goes 240 (2-2-2-5)@3.2V.Tested on Ultra D(AB0) Now the lowest Latency is Default (2,5-3-3-8).But they go now to 278(3-4-4-8)@2.8V Maybe it's the new Rev.

Rapier Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Its usually on a sticker on the side of one of the PCI slot. I'm in the process of upgrading my Ultra-D from a AB0 board to a AD0 board. Some people are saying that the AD0 are scaling higher. Any Comments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Look at the bottom PCI slot. On the side you will see a sticker with the revision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
