What memory holes are you ment to use? I see a lot with oranage but im useing the yellow ones and its fine (Have 2 x 1 GB Ballstixs) they run fine in dual channel. Any help?

i have heard orange aswell according to a guide at dfi street....

is your memory performing as it should be although its working it may be running at lets say 200mhz when it *** manage 250mhz....

If not then try plugging them in the orange slots....

In fact you *** try them in yellow and note the max mhz and then again in yellow....which ever is higher choose that colour

Yeah was thinkin bout that but think my heatsink may be in the way of the 4th slot

 

[Chris19]

It was in the way so bent the first fin down and cut the corner off the fan mount will see what happens when they are in orange slots.

I had problems with the orange slots on the initial build. It would boot to BIOS I would save a setting in CMOS and then it would reboot with my monitor in standby, untill I cleared the CMOS again.

Strange because I switched my mem to the yellow slots and it works fine.

They seem to be running at higher speeds for me and i have the SLi-D also, weird

It might be a load of bull but i read somewhere that certain types of memory works better in yellow and other in orange, just don't ask whats best in which slots.

For the record i have my Gskill in the yellow slots and they seem to run fine.

Seem to remember the yellow slots are better for high voltage stuff (bh-5) although it depends on which bios you use.

I have my 2x1gig Corsair Value ram Samsung UCCC in the orange slots, run at 1:1 240mhz fsb at cas3 4-4-8 1T 24/7 at 2.53v and using latest official bios and she runs sweet as a nut.

Got to love this board for £59.97 from a major high street supplier!!
