fortp Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Hi, I have been searching DFI-Street for 2 days but no one seems to be using corsair TWINX2048 3200C2 XMS with my motherboard, and have preoblem getting dual channel enabled. I have a matched pair The Memory works perfectly when in slot 1+2 (from the outerside of board). The memories do not work and I get and long beep when (no boot, 3 LEDS): 1. they are in both orange sockets. 2. They are in both yellow sockets. 3. They are in 3 + 4 I have, 1. cleared CMOS for 5 mins (with battery in, just with jumper) 2. I have added one module and then loaded optimized defaults and then added a second module 3. I have used both modules alternately in the same config that is 1 + 3 as well as 3 + 1. I have tried google, DFI street, and finally thought of asking you guys. Any help is appreciated.

EdLSmith Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 You do not mention memtesting individually the two sticks. Do so one at a time in the outer Orange slot. Try test 5, 8, 3 about 20 each. If no errors both sticks then you have a problem with board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
{pdX}pyrosee Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I have the same memory, and had the same problems. Make sure you set the voltage to 2.7 to start, im sure thats quite basic and you have already tried it but it was the first thing I did based on reading other peoples experiences with this ram. But obviously try the stick by themselves like Ed said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Even if you set it to 2.7v, the board might not be giving that amount. How much is it reading in bios? My memory is not the same, but it also calls for 2.7v. I get more stable results when I set the bios setting to 2.6v. Worth a shot.

fortp Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Thanx for all 3 suggestions 1. Yes! I did check the memory individually with memtest but only for 2.5 hrs each; not overnight. No problem there! 2. I set the voltage to 2.7V and checked no use there! 3. I checked the actual voltage when set voltage is 2.7 and realized that it was 2.77V so tried 2.5, 2.5 and 2.8 (just in case!) V. Still I just get 3 lights and a beep Is there any jumper I need to set? Single module in inner orange and yellow slots does not work (Is that normal?) I looked for DFI tech support no. there is no phone No listed on the website!! I am feeling swindled as this is most expensive socket 939 board from DFI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
{pdX}pyrosee Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 You said you loaded "optimized settings" EDIT ok I just searched the forums for you. Read this post: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...17&postcount=26 Try those settings. I would load fail safe defaults, then apply those settings I guess. Not sure if that helps but good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

evenings Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 there is some problems with corsair and dfi.. I have to agree with you on that one. I had to RMA mine and bought OCZ instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
{pdX}pyrosee Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I wont disagree with you guys at all. Corsair + DFI dont get great results at all. Infact I just ordered some mushkin redline pc4000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

{pdX}pyrosee Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Mine's been working flawless since October, just gotta do your homework when chosing RAM. Specifically the ram this guy is talking about, which is the same that I have, is the one with problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
