Corsair PC3200 CL2 v1.2 SUCKS

I've had one stick of Corsair PC3200 CL2 v1.1 (BH-6 chips, I believe) and it's worked fine...I was running prime stable at 216fsb, 2.5-3-2-11 (2 = tRCD) with 1.6v on the chipset and 2.8v on the memory.

I returned my Corsair PC3200 CL2 v1.2 stick about a week ago because it proved defective at default speeds with increased voltage. After getting another stick of PC3200 CL2 v1.2 back, I put it into my system. Windows wouldn't boot at anything above 205 FSB, with 1.7v VDD and 2.9 VDIMM. Once I got it going at 205fsb with the increased voltages, it failed Prime95 in about 3 seconds, literally. What's with this crap??? It even corrupted my hard drive a little bit.

I'll run Memtest86 tonight and see if they haven't given me ANOTHER faulty stick.

i feel you pain man, my v1.2 won't do much better

Hmm...I'll try lowering the voltage then. Thanks.
