2x1GB Ballistixs unstable and very hot...

[RafaDel]

After a month using my Ballistixs my system started to crash. Using Memtest86+ I found some errors #2 #3 #4 which by eva2000 tips should be related to the CPU. Well then played with voltages, FSB, etc and no luck. So swapped the CPU (from a SD3700 to a V3500) and no luck either...

Guess it may be a defective stick but I'm still surprised how hot these memory run a 2.7-2.8 volts. Never seen some thing like that. To keep things down I installed two 50mm fans over them.

Any suggestions please, I'm ready for a RMA.

BIOS is 623-3

tried swapping modules around in same did slots

yes they do get hot

try AUTO for drive and drive data strength too

TRFC is a bit too tight try 18 value as well

could be just your ram is at it's limits both my 2x1GB Ballistix sets max out at 285mhz 3-3-3-8 8-18

also try the new bios 704-2BTA, it helped me out alot and im running the same setup. Also try the yellow slots with this bios, it seemed to be a little more stable for me...
