I am having problems.
I have a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R motherboard and an E6850 CPU.
I am using Corsair Ram which says CM2X1024-6400Pro XMS2-6400
The timings printed on the chip are 5-5-5-12, 800MHz.
When I looked at the Corsair site it seemed to suggest my timings should be 5-5-5-15 but it says 12 on the chip....
Having built my new system I am having trouble in orthos. The memory was used before in previous E6700 build OK. I am beginning to suspect I need to amend the memory settings in some way but to be honest I am not sure what...
I have tried both 1GB chips together and seperately and I get the same problems. At the moment I have it using SPD and auto voltages.
CPU-Z says in the CPU Tab Bus Speed 333.3, Rated FSB 1,333.3
Memory tab says it is running at 5-5-5-18, Frequency 400Mhz, FSB
RAM 5:6
Should I set my settings manually at the 5-5-5-12, up the voltage a bit and is the FSB
RAM OK at 5:6 ?
I am not trying to overclock I just want a stable system.
CPU temps are never more than 49 C and I am running out of ideas about why orthos is so unstable. It seems OK in the small FFTs test but the blend or long FFT one fail very quickly.
