Hi guys spec as in sig
Been having a bit of bother with oc'ing my rig past 300fsb.
I suspect it's the ram, tried different slots etc but no luck. I sent it back to them cos memtest said it was faulty and they sent it back saying all was fine.
Now although it's rated at 4,4,4,12, if you go to corsairs website Here, again everything looks fine until you scroll down and look at the bottom left of the screen. It mentions something about 5,5,5,18 and jedec spec. Now the tech guy i spoke to suggested this was a memory controller and if that particular one was on my board??? then i can only run at the lower timings.
Now i don't pretend to be an expert but is he talking bull or what?
Am i right in thinking it should run at the timings specified on their website (e-tailer), and indeed whats on the labels on the sticks themselves.
Memtest shows no errors at the slower speeds but really doesn't like the tighter settings, even below 800 ( it was about 775 with the *2.5mem multi)
Any help appreciated guys.
Regards
Jobe
