OK WTF IS WRONG WITH GEIL!!!

Tried +0.2V ? I got the same ram and it is a pain in the butt, the only way i could run it at it's rated 4-4-4-12 was to set it at +0.2V. If i overclock however then it's back to 5-5-5-18 +0.2V.

It's fussy stuff, +0.2V no more no less. I tried and tested this on a DS3 rev1 and also a rev3.3.

I just had it do the most retarded error on me I have seen in my life. I started a game called Max Payne. Then all crashed. Then blue screen. All it displayed on the blue screen is two lines.

HARDWARE FAILURE

***Please Contant Your Hardware Vendor For Support***

So I was like WTF. Anyway reset, go into bios. Went to PC Health Status and I find something that completely baffles me.

DDR18V FAIL

it had some other stuff like 3.3V PASS and CPU something or other pass but DDR18V FAIL. I am seriously going to take a sledgehammer to this RAM. The only thing stopping me is I haven't got a replacement set. Its not even overclocked anymore!!

don't panik :rolleyes:
 
To my amazement, all is fine (it seems) at +0.2V. Had this setting for 2 days now and is fine...so far.

I cannot run memtest because my keyboard and mouse will not let me select anything other than in bios because they're optical. I can go through bios but if I press F12 for the multiboot menu, I can access it but can't navigate through it :mad:

Team Elite kits are not bad at all ( but chips are not Micron)
just can´t overclock as high as Team Extreem :)
Team Extreem uses Micron chip´s :D

Team is getting cheaper can't wait to the right price arrives :)

You need to enable Legacy USB support (assuming they are usb) That should sort it.

If you are using a DS3 and Geil you should have the mem voltage set to +0.3 anyway as that is stock 2.1V that the ram requires to run 800Mhz 4-4-4-12...

No, it actually runs 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 better at 2.0v on some mobos. Bit of a mystery.
