Hi I recieved my 2gig kit of zx g.skill today to run in pc in sig but at default settings i get the bsod as soon as windows loads. If I go into the bios and put it at cas 2.5 instead of 2.0 then it works fine and is rock solid.
Is the kit faulty or is this right with amd setups just I've read than corsair kits that are rated as cas 2 will run on intel at 2.0 but amd as 2.5 :confused:
will try it in my bros pc hopefully tomorrow and see what happens on his.
 
I can run my RAM at cas2, but I don't notice any performance improvement in it over cas2.5 at the same fsb. The only difference I notice is that when at cas2, it doesn't let me push the fsb up as far.

So personally, I wouldn't worry about it. If you really want CAS2 though, you could always try upping the voltage to around 2.7 - 2.8v maybe?
