DS4 - What Memory Slots To Use?

zom247 · 8 Sep 2006 at 07:41

I've currently got my Geil PC6400 memory in slots 1 & 3 but can't get them to run at 800 mhz. Will they work ok if I put them in slots 2 & 4 instead? If not, I may have to RMA them.

There's only one way to find out.

I'm at work at the mo so thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has done this.

Have you given the Dimm voltage a +0.3?

What do you mean you can,t get them to run at 800?can you explain.Have you used the mem divider on the board set it to 2: which is 1:1..

I've somehow managed to get it working at 800 mhz now! Only did the same as I did before but this time it worked. By default the board runs the memory at 667 mhz so you have to change the multiplier to 3 to get the 800 mhz. However, the problem I originally had was when I changed the timings manually. Bit weird but it's all working now - fingers crossed.
