Memory Problems - GeIL PC6400
Regarding the GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
Ok I bought some of this memory for my new PC Build and have found something extremely weird (well I think it is). I have run memtest on each individual kit and none come back with errors. This is with a setting of 2.1 V running 4-4-4-12 and speed of 800Mhz.
Now when I run all 4 modules together I get errors everywhere while test 3 is completing on memtest. Orthos also chucks back errors. I have tried upping the voltage, relaxing the timings to 5-5-5-18 and even putting everything on Auto, nothing seems to work.
However, if I change the speed to 533 or 667 Mhz and keep the timings at 4-4-4-12 and 2.1V its fine in memtest with no errors and I am able to run 4GB with no issues. Memtest completed, and its also Orthos stable.
Why can't I run this memory at 800Mhz? Can anyone provide some help as to something obvious I am missing?
My Hardware is as follows:
e6600, Asus Striker, BGF 8800GTX, Corsair 620w PSU, 150GB Raptor, 500 GB Seagate 7200.10.
Thanks
