Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ PC Specs + Crossfire? How? And ... RAM Full???

[Deepone]

If I recall it correctly, when Tom's hardwareguide tested the memories, none of the 1000MHz chips reached it...
anyways, try plugging the other to other-coloured one and the other to other one. that would be like...
1 2 <- instead of this way...
|_| |_|
1 2 <- try them this way. basically all combinations are worth testing. sometimes it does the trick with very weird errors.

it might be because of the motherboard thinking that they are dual-channel.. so, another alternative would be to see if there is option at BIOS for disabling the dual channel mode for good.

But they ARE dual-chan :(

I'll ask for giving me back the money or change the RAM.

oh well a bit late but here it is:

they tested pretty many memories.. :)

butw if they are dual chan, then you should return them and ask for new ones.. obviously it doesnt seem to work - the problem might be at the motherboard thought, as both of them seemed to work just fine on their own.

the mhz numbers do imply they are faster.. just like PC 100/133 DDR 266-333-400-433-500-667 etc. but the 4 numbers at the end of the RAM also matter. your Cas Latency, RAS/CAS etc they are memory timings. They can affect how well that 400/667/1000 mhz can preform. Just be cuase your car can go 240mph does not mean that is acheiving that speed in the most efficient matter.

I will look into it further for timings on DDr2. but at least with DDR, the lower the timings of the ram...

a sequence of 4 numbers something liek : 2-3-3-6

Generally the lower the numbers the more effiecient and seemingly quicker the RAM acts. That is the sequence of my RAM. my motherboard originally had them setup in BIOS as 3-3-3-8 and while I changed themto be the manufacture of the ram specified there was a minor imporvement.. nothign really visible but at least it is in the most effienct set up.

I believe this is the RAM you have:

You did grab a DC kit not just to of the singles?

Try running them not in DC.... ie slots 0+1 insteadn of 0+3.

[Boss429]

As I have read your timings should be fine...

I will do some research on the motherboard later as well...

Oh. and newegg has the ram (if its same) for 469USD

Could it be that my board doesn't support 1000mhz RAM? It's saying BUS 800 - 1066 Quadro

But it's also saying:

Memory DDR2-400 (PC2-3200), DDR2-533 (PC2-4200), DDR2-667 (PC2-5300), DDR2-800 (PC2-6400)
