NeilSouth Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 ^^dimm2 dimm4? Who me? ... i cant run these damn sticks anymore in the orange slots 210FSB or above they are VERY unstable but in the yellow slots im still testing them out as atleast they boot in yellow :mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilSouth Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Anybody know what has caused this ram not to work properly in the orange slots if the cpu is over 210fsb? I can go 260fsb in the yellow, this wasnt a problem before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Probably the memory going south. Just the very physical layout of a motherboard means that no two slots will ever be the same. Compensation is attempted of course and within normal bounds all is good. Then you run head on into memory that has been worse than even any motherboard problem I have ever heard of and the memory changes its mind and says oh: "ok I am going south; please use me in some other slots". Simplistically that is about the story. RGone... Anybody know what has caused this ram not to work properly in the orange slotsif the cpu is over 210fsb?

NeilSouth Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 RGone that was depressing lol but expected, thankyou - further proof It wouldnt even get past the irq listing as before having tried this 9x260+, but as soon as i slack of alot of the timings to utter crap levels it boots... but i dont know how stable it is yet, these settings are WAY below what i had last week when all this crap started. Everything is pointing to the memory be a problem edit : Just thought id mention its now 2 months... :tooth: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Contacted the CrucialGuy and he set me up with the Service Department at Micron. Got my RMA number Monday morning and have the modules boxed-up and ready to go. This makes the 2nd time these modules have died on me. If they die on me again (using stock settings / voltages) then Crucial will get notification of implementation of lemon law for which I will not accept anything lesser than my money back. Ace Hi,Im very interested to know the details of your Convo with Crucial. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxT Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 My TD1s are going strong at 289 1:1 2T at only 2.64v. God i hope they don't die. After weeks and weeks of messing with the PC, I finally have a 100% stable DFI machine! It better stay that way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippy2981 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 sorry if this goes off topic, but please help. RMA dept from newegg contacted me letting me know that they no more carry the ballistix sticks and i can go for a credit of current market value (200/-) or corsair ( CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 500 (PC 4000) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail ). i was thinking of the OCZ Platinum Edition 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 500. i'd pay the difference or haggle. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227225 am i making a good choice? please let me know. i know OCZ is good but just need a last confirmation. thanks!!

RGone Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 IF you an haggle the diffrence then the EB is a little tighter timings wise but you really have to push it to see it. Running stock or near it you will not know which is the slots. But I do like my EB alright enough. RGone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGone... by EB, you mean the OCZ (OCZ5002048EBPE-K), right? i dont mind the difference, but i'd just haggle to see how it turns out. EDIT: i'm going for the OCZ mentioned above. let's see what the RMA dept replies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
