well, first time post here, hope i got into the right place to post this. :)
(edit: mmm, this may belongs to hardware section, but i am not too sure, if any mod can confirm this, i would happy if u can help me to move this at the right place. thanks. )
anyway, i just bought this G skills F1-4400DSU2-1GBFC (2.4 4 4 8) and i am having a bit problem here.
firstly, this is my system:
DFI nf4 sli-dr expert (original bios, think it is 11/02/05)
Oteron 144 @ 2700mhz
MSI 7800gtx
topower 500w eps
was running team xtreme bh-5 utt, now playing with this g skill with no luck. :(
what i did was:
1. boot into bios, load default. shut down. power off, unplug bh-5, install g skills into ORANGE slots.
2. boot into bios, all settings are default, bump to 275mhz, vidmm from 2.66 to 2.7, enable memest64.
memtest 64 got errors on loop 5 test in the first round. =.=
then i have a bit play with all the advanced settings, ie, specify all the Tcl, Trcd, Tras and Trp, lose Trfc and Trc.
reboot, still error in loop 5 tests in memtest 64.
now i am kicking myself, bump vdimm from 2.7 to 2.8, everything else default. still got errors, but decreased a bit.
but man, if this ram need 2.8 to just run default speed with everything else on lose timing, i am really wasting time here.
furthermore, i tried swap them around, also tried yellow slots, but dont' know y, my system will post a bit and restart if they are in yellow slots.
can anyone else suggest what might happen here?
thanks for reading.
