dextrous Posted May 21, 2005 I'm a bit of a n00b, so go easy on me. My VX memory won't run @ 2-2-2-8 timings @ 3.27v. It fails memtest every loop. I relaxed the timings to 3-3-3-8 and it passes memtest fine. This memory is rated for 2-2-2-8 @ ddr500 w/3.2v. So, what could my problem be? Bank interleave - disabled LTD Voltage - 1.4 Chipset - 1.8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm currently running at 11 X 250 2-2-2-6 with VX RAM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cecco Posted May 21, 2005 Kronos, what do you have your VID set at. I have the exact same setup as yours but I can't get past 240 stable and at 250 windows wont boot. I know its not the memory because it passes memtest+ at 250. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark099 Posted May 21, 2005 BIOS settings and burn-in are everything with the VX ram.... Check out my thread here.... http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10245 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bank interleave - disabled LTD Voltage - 1.4 Chipset - 1.8 The memory will need 3.3v-3.5v to do rated speeds. You will also need to have your timings set up properly. If you need help you can PM me or email me. We can also do it right here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you still get memtest errors, I suggest testing each stick in slot 2 by itself. Report your findings here or PM me again. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
