OCZ EL PC4000 + UT nf4 Ultra-D

[k0d0s]

Hey guys, I just got some shiny new OCZ EL PC4000 DDR memory (2x1GB) for my UT nf4 Ultra-D setup. I have a 4000+ SD, and I had 1GB of Corsair XMS PC3200 before the upgrade. I seem to be having trouble getting my OCZ memory to work properly. As I write this, I am using it, with an FSB of 245MHz x 11. I am using a 166 DRAM ratio (5:6), so my memory is only running at 192MHz. I really want to use a 1:1 ratio, so I can get my FSB and memory around 245 each. However, my computer will not boot when I choose this ratio! Does anyone have any tips for me, because I would hate to waste this awesome memory (that cost me $250!)

 

Thanks,

EDIT: I forgot to mention that, upon upgrading my memory, my F.E.A.R tells me that I have "invalid game assets" every time I try and join a multiplayer game. It will load the map, then gives me this error :/

Is your memory OCZ "EL" or "EB" PC4000???

To my knowledge there's no "EL" memory from OCZ that is rated as Pc4000

Alright, FEAR works now, but whenever I try and load BF2 it crashes halfway into the load...wtf :/

Every thing worked for me off the bat. Try fiddling with default settings first. Every thing you are doing seems right at first, but make sure you set manualy defaults settings.

What exactly do you mean? Should I put everything back to default? I'm still kind of a n00b with memory :/

are you giving it enough voltage

[cellyboo]

why don't you show us the memory setting you use @245mhz.. and the SPD as well

[ganders75]

Have you run MemTest from the BIOS to ensure that your settings are sound? Did you reset the CMOS after installing the new memory and load optimised defaults? Did you then go back into the BIOS and manaully enter the new timings for this memory?

 

Might be worth taking a look at the stock speed database and check for some known good settings...
