Problem with BH-5 and Memtest86 1.51

[Aleman]

Hello.

I have been burning some memorys (2x256MB BH-5 from HyperX at 260mhz 2-2-2-8-7-12-3120-L1-L1). One of the stick wouldnt allow me to give it more than 2.9v. I burned it and allowed me then to 3.3v. Burned it again and allowed me to (temporally) give 3.5v until 3.7v.

I understand under "burned" when errors do not show up again. I usually Burn them with a setting that shows 50~60 errors PER PASS (test 5) and stop burning after 1000 passes WITHOUT error.

Well I did that with the stick. 2800 Passes in total. Last error at pass 1370 (so over 1300 passes without any error). So I set the other Memory (for Dual channel and get the other 256MB of course) and errors showed up. Removed the added memory and now ERRORS show up again!

WTF, the memory did 1000 passes without a single error! Could anyone explain it?

ps. Now every time i try the Stick, it shows the same quantity of errors as before (50~60 per pass).

maybe u screwed up ur CPU

Uhu, and how´s that? :P it ran always under Stock speed with stock voltage.

its something to do with the stick, generally sticks wont hit as high of speeds in dual channel as they will in single channel...

was you activly cooling when you was running 3v+ ?

if its the stick you burned in, you could of blew some cells in it.... especially without any cooling

1. After it did not work in Dual Channel, the stick wont work in single either (the same setting as in 1300 loops of Test 5 error-free)

2. Always being cooled by SFII Full Speed 75cfm and cool to touch

3. Suddently some cells burned? The stick works perfect at 3.3v 250Mhz :(.

x. the stick is a voltage hater but it passed many loops at 3.8v, now it wont even accept 3.5v, none the less it passed 1300 loops!!!

WHY? :(

1. Use memtest86+, version 1.55

2. Always burn-in your RAM in Dual Channel

3. A Drive Strength/Data Drive Strength of Level 1/Level 1 is pretty funky, try DS=L7, DDS=L2 instead and see if that helps.

Good luck :)

I´ll check that what you say :) Thx
