heres a noob question.

I recently baught a set of Mushkin 2GB DDR HP3200.

Im trying to keep the timings fast at SPD speeds

Im running a 180 divider and an FSB of 220mhz. 2.0,2,3,6

now the rams at 186.2mhz and 3700SD 2420mhz.

If i try to up the fsb more to approach 200mhz on the ram it wont boot.

ive boosted ram voltage to 2.7 - 2.8 the max reccomended.

Does running the ram on a divider effect the latencies causing it to freak out and crash? Im using a DFI-ultra D Mboard.

on my old 1gb kit of corsair value select that could do 225mhz I could happily run this PC at 2.7ghz now im having realy big problems.

THis muskin just dosnt want to play.. i dunno what im doing wrong.

grrrr

memtested over night all good :( at stock SPD.

but i did both sticks at once

i think i need to start slackening the timings to 3-3-3-8 or whatever and take it from there? Is that a good start? also i use 2.8v
 
Hello Ade ive sent you an Email.

If there absoloutley any problems with it ill pay for return postage and ill RMA it.
(dont lose the a4 sheet in the box i sent! lol)

Sorry to have scared you.

I expect its my lack of experiance that was the cause of my problems, i try to rush things and think i know more than i actually do.

Any how try it but please email me back at the first sign of ANY problem no matter what. I dont want to get a bad name on the MM for selling anything thats faulty or dodgy.

Ill be annoyed with the original seller and ill follow it up fom there. :)
 
Yeah just replied , £103 coming your way :)

Anyone know what procedure to follow to RMA to mushkin please?

Theres no point me venting out on guy that originaly sold these on MM ive emailed me and asked the best way to rma these things, i think hes at school still so this is going to be a nightmare to get hold of him
i just need these RMA'd .

Please dont forget to post back that Reciept! ! !! ! ! !

hello Dutchguy and Mistadave

Ive set everything to auto and its working fine.

In the DFI bios, as you may be aware theres like 1o different options on auto

I know this is a long shot and probably better answered by DFI street forums but
do you know/suggest manual settings for the ram accross all of these options?

im going to have a proper fiddle with these now to see what on my system was causing the problem.

im using a bios dated 04/06/2006 im not sure what one it is but i know these dfi boards have so many BIOS`s i dont knwo which is best
