Hi , i have 2x1 GB CM2X1024-6400-C4 memory (twin matched kit) that always gives me memory errors. When i first bought them about a year ago (when memory prices were high, $300) i had a P5B-deluxe (and E6600) and i would get memory errors on stock default settings. After many weeks of research i found the Ramguys site and the problem was acknowledged that this ram produces errors with P5b-d's default settings and that by loosening one of the sub timings the issue is resolved. (Apparently a motherboard issue)
It did stop the memory errors on default settings but with any kind of overclock the errors returned and even when underclocking to a 667 strap the errors persisted. I kinda accepted it was a bios issue with the P5B-D and resigned to run default settings on my new expensive equipment. The memory defaults to 5-5-5-18-etc not 4-4-4-12 as claimed. ( i know u have to do it manually but wont run at 4's)
A couple of weeks ago i got a X38-DQ6 motherboard and i'm having the same issues with memory errors that i saw on the Asus board. My board would not even boot when i put in the 4-4-4-12 timings (yes i upped voltage to 2.1). After playing around with timings and subtimings i got it to run but i get bsod while gaming and errors in prime95.
These modules do not work well on 4's timings and considering the premium i paid for them i'm really not happy, i mean a generic $80 ram would have done an equal job.
Is there any hope of RMAing these sticks? Thanks
