msi k9n diamond memory problems

spookywillow · 4 Nov 2008 at 15:41

my brother just got another 2gb of ocz ram so he now has 4x1gb of matching sticks.

problem is the pc wont post with all 4 installed, but both sets are fine.

manually set the timings and voltage but still no post. are there any other voltages that amd needs to run 4 sticks like you need to increase MCH on intel boards?

Does the board support 4 double sided dimms?

Edit: your board is amd - ignor

no idea if it supports double sided dimms as the site and manual say nothing about it which is strange as every board i have had has had that info in the manual.

i've searched both msi and ocz's forums and there doesn't seem to be anyone else who has issue's

sorted it in the end, manually set the timings to 4-4-4-15 and installed a single stick and booted up.

turned off and installed another and rebooted, did this for all 4 sticks and its up and running now but cpu-z is reporting the timings as 5-5-5-15.

either way its working and 4gb is far better then the small performance of lower timings and 2gb
