Ok so I picked up a set of mushkin blue 2-3-3-x timings @ pc3200.

And to my luck, they do not run these timings with both sticks in there at any voltage (up to 3.1 (psu is not vsensed modded higher yet)) or at any timings. Yet, they run fine no memtest errors when the sticks are NOT running together.

It seems that I have completely missed something, or these two sticks dont like running together.

Any insite would be great.

Im running a dfi nf3 s754 with beta 10/15 bios on it. (4v vdimm)

Can I ask for the P/N of your modules?

If you're talking about part number 991433 dual channel kit, those modules haven't shipped with UTT in few months. Only modules that still has UTT are Redline HP3200 (2-3-2, differs from your modules) and Redline XP4000. Unfortunately both of these has gone EOL.

Yes they are 991433's but

Aight heres a update, these sticks run 2-3-2-7 @ 2.7 volts memtest stable, running INDIVIDUALLY, not running together. When I run both 512 sticks together they do not pass at same timings and volts.

The worst case is that my memory controller does not handle this. (sempron 2500+ e6 rev)

It explains alot since you're using S754 motherboard and CPU. Have you tried out does it help you if you change command rate to 2T.

The 4v jumper on the DFI board I feel has a great deal to do with this. Ive seen many people have instability in 3D while using it

I'll try out 2T thanks.

To throw on some more oddness, I ran a divider, 300fsb for processor ram running 210 @ 2-3-2-5-1T @2.7v and its stable.....

Memtest and superpi. (32m stable @ 38 minutes (eww))

Maybe this ram doesnt like running 1:1 with processor but its doing just fine at divider.

s754s have strange memory controllers.
