Technohydra Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Hey guys, I need a recommendation of a known good pc 4000 memory solution. I tried for about 3 days to get my OCZ 4000 to work with no luck. Now I admit the problem was likely my inability to get the settings right...so maybe someone could alternately point me in the correct direction there...the timings are 3-4-4-8. Now, I have no Idea what settings would need to be changed to make these dimms work. Every time I installed with one of those dimms in, the install corrupted. So i guess what I need is either a recommendation of a know good memory solution, or, preferably, help with my settings in bios. Thanks alot guys.

WintersFury Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I'd imagine there would be someone with them and settings in the OC database or the stock speed. Just type in the model # of your ram in the search. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lackobreath Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I had a PC4000 kit from OCZ that was bad when I got it.. you might want to get your model number and head over to their official support forum http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=46 they have pretty good customer service.

Technohydra Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Will do. Thanks for the info, ppl. I've been a member here for about 2 weeks, and so far I have to say that this community impresses me. One last question. If I switch from my current dimms back to my OCZ's, will I have to re-install, or will my current install be able to adapt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleDavid218 Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 You should be fine, just make sure to run Memtest for 8 or so hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technohydra Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I'll do that, for sure, hehe. What I wanna know is, how do people come up with the genie settings for ram kits? Is it trial and error, math-based, or god-like knowledge? After all, I'm here to learn more about my hobby, not just get to the point I can run and be happy. I mean, there's, what, like 30 settings per module, right? So far, the only ones I have a clue on how to determine are CAS latency, RAS to CAS, min. RAS activation time, and row pre-charge...

Praz Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 What I wanna know is, how do people come up with the genie settings for ram kits? Is it trial and error, math-based, or god-like knowledge It's a combination of trial and error and knowledge gained from the experience of trial and error.
