which is the latest batch? I have the CBBHD 0450TPGW

glad that did the trick for you! Now have some fun with it!

Just use only one of your 512mb modules in the orange slot closest to the edge of the board while you install XP. I had the same problems you were having and using just one stick of ram seemed to do the trick.

what would ideal voltages be? min/max

I've tried alot of the timings and I read through the OCZ stickied thread concerning the 3200 Plat Rev2's that had some solid timings that I thought might work with my corsair memory. I've tried disabling CPC and bank interleave and that didn't help at all. I do have success if i run at Dual channel DDR333 or DDR400. Running the LDT at 4x or 5x seems to have no effect either on the errors. I can't even make it through one pass of test 8 in dual-channel DDR400 @ 2.8v. I don't think the memory could overheat that quick. I'll have to check out the forums there. I'm gonna end up returning this corsair memory and i don't believe it will take me where i want to go OC wise regardless. Gonna go with some OCZ EL PC3200 plat rev2 (2x512mb) Thanks for the replies!

I agree, which is why the memtest errors bother me. I have done that also. I'm using [email protected] 1T per my sig. The memory timings are entered manually. I've tried upping the cpu and dram voltage but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on anything. This is the second set of corsair XMS 3200XL i've received. One of the modules in my first set would generate errors by itself in memtest and I had some stability problems with it. I'll probably have to just get some new memory

Test #8 has been getting on my nerves because it's the only test that I can't seem to pass without errors galore. I'm just trying to run everything at stock speeds atm. My question: Is test #8 really significant to proving whether a system is stable or unstable? Are the errors in test #8 insignificant if the system can withstand stress-testing programs like prime95 or superPI for over 8-12+ hours? All in all, I feel my system is stable. I don't have blue screens or hard-locks and I'm prime95 stable for about 11hours when i stopped it. Are these memtest errors worth worrying that much about if all else seems good?

most of the people i've seen that have had success with the 3200XL memory have the SLI-D. I've tested the memory in another system at DDR400 and had no problems at all getting it to pass memtest, but for the life of me I can't get it to pass memtest in my Ultra-D. Unfortunately I think i'm gonna try to get a refund on the memory and buy some memory I know will work well on the Ultra-D, even though I don't think the corsair ram I have is defective.

Are the PWM IC Heatsinks the ones located between the cpu and the ide connector ports? If so that probably explains why I have such a high PWM IC temp. It's currently running around 55C, while the CPU is 37C and the Chipset is 45C. I don't have very good airflow there because of the ide cables, plus i have some wires from the PSU dangling around that area too. I probably could bundle up some of the wires right below my CDROM drive bay, but i'm not sure if that would benefit or worsen the airflow situation. I'm planning on getting an XP-90 sometime next week, but i'm not sure if that will necessarily help the situation with the PWM IC area.

lol, well i'm gonna give that one a go then. No luck with 1.32 and it didn't even show the memory timings or chipset information

I'm using the 3/10 bios right now. According to the Ram Guy from corsair, all 3200XL modules are made with TCCD. I have revision v1.2 of the 3200XL. Also, is there any difference really between the memtest v1.51 bundled with the bios and the latest 3.2 memtest release? i've been using 1.51 for all the testing so far. Thanks for the input guys, don't know what i'd do without ya

I just received my replacement Corsair TWINX1024-3200XL modules and I'm still get errors in dual channel mode within a few minutes of looping test 8. I'm testing each 512mb module by itself just incase, but that would be really odd to get a defective part on supposedly "pre-tested and paired" modules. Almost sounds to me like DFI has some issues that need to be addressed concerning the corsair XMS series since others are having similiar issues. edit: typos typos typos

Doesn't turning off CPC and bank interleave significantly decrease the memory performance?

i know all so well where you're coming from bud. First thing i'd do is test each one of the sticks by themself and see if you still get all those errors. In my situation, i had one stick that passed flawlessly and another would generate a few errors here and there. I actually rma'd my 3200XL ram and am currently waiting to receive a replacement. Hopefully the problems were just because of my one module, but only time will tell!.

not sure what he means. I went ahead and RMA'd my memory while i still had the chance, so hopefully I just had some bad ram. Should have the replacements by the end of the week. only time will tell!
