I have a unusual problem that i have seen a couple of other guys have too.....I can only have 1 of my corsair bh-5 stick on my mobo if i want high bus speeds, (9*255 with one stick, 9*225 with two sticks). :mad:

 

It doesent matter whitch one of my two sticks i use it performs 9*255, and it doesent matter what vdimm, different slots, dual ddr on or off, etc. with two sticks, they perform max 225*9.

 

This is a BIG problem and i havent seen any solutions to it yet.

 

Now when im about to pick up a DFI NF3 mobo i want to be sure i dont get the same problem on that mobo too.

 

Regards Twilight

:confused: changing the motherboard would not necessarily change your symptoms. I see that few hung around with BH-5 on these boards as the 'later/newer' styles of memory run better in most cases it seems.

 

I have some BH-5 Kingston on my HOFINITY that I did not 'even' bother to try on my UT250gb until I bought another power supply with an adjustable +3.3V rail so that I can put the 'same' voltage or as close as possible on the memory in the UT as I had to run on the memory on the HOFINITY to get it to run 263x10. Whether or not those two 2x256 sticks of BH-5 will play well on the UT has yet to be seen, but they played good on the NF2 board.

 

No guarantees with two sticks of BH-5 that don't play well on one board > suddenly being friends just because of a board change.

 

Sincerely, RGone...:cool:

It doesent matter what timings, bios settings etc. i use the problem isnt related to that i belive. Cpu going to be 3000+ 512 cache.

 

I know there is no guarantee but i think my current board OR cpu has something to do with the problem. I have tried the mem sticks in my brothers computer (P4 3 Ghz, IC7 mobo) and they worked great in dual ddr @ 250*15, that fsb is impossible in my system with both sticks at the same time.

 

RGone, whats that HOFINITY thing you are mentioning??
