Prospector Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Iv'e almost always used 1&3 since I got this rig.Iv'e seen a majority of ppl using 1&2 so I thought I'd see what the difference is if any.After playin with it for a week,it seems on my board 1&3 comes out on top.Example-same voltage and timings 11x250 errors memtest #5 in slots 1&2 but runs fine in 1&3.I can run slots 1&2 but I have to loosen the timings from 2-3-3-6 to 2.5-3-3-7.Bottom line seems to be that overall cpu speed the same but I can run the mem tighter in 1&3.I tested each stick individually then together.Just wondering if anybody else has similar results.

THunDA Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Ive had weirder results on my 250gb.. I own two sets of OCZ pc3200rev2 ram.. One set worked better in 1 and 3.. the other worked better in 1 and 2..lol.. This is why when people ask which slots to use there is NO correct answer..

Prospector Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Yeah Thunda no right or wrong for sure.I was happy runnin 1&3 for so long i never really cared much about it,but decided what the hell see which one is the best for me.Iv'e been doin the same with bios lately too. 3/31/ seems to be the best for this rig.
