I have just built a new system for a friend with the following specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz Socket AM2 1MB
Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2 2048MB CL5 2X1024A-6400 Dimm's
Fortron Source Epsilon 600W
MSI K9N SLI Platinum,nForce 570 SLI (MS-7250),ATX, Socket-AM2,2xGbLAN,DDR2,Firew,2xPCI-Ex16
NEC DVD±RW burner, ND-3550A, 16x, Dual, Silver OEM
Point of View GeForce 7900GT 512MB, GDDR3, PCI-Express
Sony Floppy Drive, 3,5" 1,44MB Silver Floppy Drive Internal
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
I've set the voltage on the RAM to 1.9V, i got this from this data sheet : http://corsairmemory.com/corsair/pro...X2048-6400.pdfand set the timings manually
When i run memtest i got 166,000+ errors before 1 pass had finished.
When i run memtest with 1 stick at a time in any slot at 1.9V i get no errors.
So far I have gradualy uped the RAM vooltage to 2.05V, which reduced the number of errors to 96. Before i try 2.1V is there anything else i could do that would help, leaving RMAing to the last. Would reducing the RAM frequency from 800MHz help? Or is there something I haven't tried yet
