    My ram wont run properly

    i bought this pair of ram from zzf

    http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...ductCode=85264

    and basically my issue is its only working properly at 5-5-5-15. When i try to set it to 4-4-4-15 in the bios, like what it should be running at, i keep getting blue screens at various points when loading windows, or in windows. Now ive tested it at 4-4-4-15 with memtest86 with 2 100% passes and it came out clean. Heres some images from cpuz, can someone please explain to me why i keep having this problem?






    btw the label on the ram itself also says 4-4-4-15, the specs to my rig are in my sig, and im using a gigabyte 965p DS3 rev3.3

    Hello,

    Do you have the ram voltage set to +0.2 - +0.3 in the bios?

    If normal is 1.9, then set +0.2V which will be 2.1

    ok i did that, lets see how it checks out , is 2.1 supposed to be what this ram normally runs at? Did my ds3 just set it to 1.9 automatically?

    DDR2 defaults to 1.8V, some manufacturers put 1.9 or 2.0V in their "upscale" boards for the higher performance memory.

    Yes this ram is rated at 2.0 - 2.1V to reach DDR2-800 with 4-4-4 timings
