ManGz Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 28. Install MB drivers from DFI supplied CD (Note: some drivers cause problems for some users; do not install Nvidia IDE drivers or Nvidia Firewall / Nforce Network Access Manager programs; do not install Ntune from the DFI disc). This is from the step by step build guide http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...04&postcount=49 Should i still not install IDE drivers if i use RAID? is there any drivers for raid that i should install under windows or is it just under xp blue installation screen? another thing. someone that could help me with which timings i should use for: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.Asp...=BL2KIT6464Z402 memory. I checked on: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5844 but i really have no clue if those are good with my memory... thanks for any help! also, if you want to find errors on your memory, which memtest test is the one that you should run? i read something about i think it was #5 that you should run lots of times...

ManGz Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 thanks alot. one question though. why do you feed the ram with 2.7V when it says 2.8V? also, you are running pc 4000 sticks.. shouldn't i use other settings for my pc3200? i know almost nothing about wardware.. what do you mean by "at 260-265 mhz"? is there some other settings i chould change too? really hope i get an answer to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 That ram runs at2.6-2.8 when set in bios at 2.7 mine run at 2.77V. The pc4000 is the exact same ram as the pc3200 but is guranteed to run at 250 with alittle looser timings.You can change the 4 basic settings on mine to your timing if you want to stay at 200mhz don't change your dram freq. to 260 as mine is overclocked leave your at 200mhz. Read and study the overclocking guide here on forum theres even pdf so you can DL or copy good to have around. Just so you know my SPD settings at 200mhz are same as yours.
