well annoyed here.

I put it in my GB K8NPRO @ stock speeds and put 2.8vdimm. I put the 2-2-2-6 timings and run prime95.

Fails in like 1minute.

Then I put SPD timings and they are, 2-3-2-8 timings.

I mean wtf? This CH5 or some :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:?

I've got the right mind to send the ram back...

Some a64 boards require ras to cas to 3 because it needs the extra clock cycle. i had this problem with my mushkin bh6 pc3200 lvl2 but khx3200 does 2-2-2-5 all day :)

ah, so if i put this bh6 in my Abit AI7 it'd work fine?

well after not having a BSOD for so long, i get one just a minute ago.

Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I suspect this is a ram prob, im running it at spd timings.

Does a64 hate 1gb or something?

I only heard people having trouble with mushkin special 6
for example on systems you were not able to run it in dual channel
and you were only able to run CAS 3

I would certainly not buy any of these sticks

im running it at 200mhz, 2-3-2-8 timings (spd) with 2.7v atm, it was at 2.8 when it bsod'd.

single channel

Try setting CAS to 2.5 and run the rest 2-2-5

Should help you a bit.

If that doesn't help give er more volts!

And if finally if that doesn't work its time for an RMA :(
