Failing memory - ballistix = stuttering?

Neil79 · 19 Sep 2006 at 23:43

Can memory failing ie showing up say 1 error every 5mins in memtest be the possible cause of my stuttering in games such as BF2 , Settlers 2 next gen , F.E.A.R ?

and this is what i found two days ago over night testing.. then a quick morning 5min test

they look buggered to be honest mate....seeing how they're ballistix it's no big surprise.

your timings do look pretty relaxed though and in general my ballistix don't like timings too loose.

they should be good for 3-3-3-8 upto 260+HTT 2.6v max

move MAL and RP to 8 & 6 too

if that doesn't help RMA them.

I had to get my memory replaced as I had a lot of errors,

Same RAM by the looks of it. It wasn't even overclocked.

lol getting reboots now and corrupted locked files :eek:

if that didn't do anything RMA time :eek:

i had 3 bad sets of ballistix before i finally got a good set which have been fine for a couple of months now *touchwood*

you'll be able to get some of the new batch which don't seem to have the weakness of the old IC's when you RMA.
