Hi.
Abit AI7,
Northwood 3.4 cpu. Stock volts.
2 x 512 Mb PC4000 crucial balistixs in slot 1 and 3.
667 timing to enable PAT.
GAT set to either Auto, Auto, Auto, Auto, Auto or last 2 disabled.
Bios set to 2.8v ddr v. 1:1 ratio.
Timings set by spd.
above 220 fsb the ram fails memtest?
I have lowered timings, and still fails, passes at 220, fails at 222, upped V to 2.95 and still no go.
I thought this ram was rated at 250 Mhz???
OK. Memtest and cpu-z both report when pat is enabled. so changed from 667 to 800
I can lower the ram timings to minimum and its still no go with memtest over 221 fsb with pat enabled.
The cpu at 1.55 v is on the limit at 225.
Raising th v core to 1.65 and it will go to 232+
Im in a few minds, either
the AI7 does not like the ballistix.
The ballistix is gash and change it.
Change to another mobo while I can. Asus PC800E deluxe maybe.
Or leave it at a setting that passes memtest.
FSB 212= 3604Mhz, up from 3400.
Gat set to F1 Auto, Auto, Auto, disabled disabled. 1:1 and 800.
25222.
At least the ram is running full at this setting with no errors.
Dropping the ram timings to what they should be and with PAT enabled even at 220 FSB gets memtest failing.
Sure it maybe the cpu. I briefly tried 1.7V and above 4 Ghz ran windows.
Im not sure what to do!
