I bought the OCZ2N10662GK PC2 8500C5 2x1gb dual channel set from NewEgg hoping to run my memory at 1066 while my plain jane 2x1gb Corsair XMS2 Pro 6400 C5 set wont go past 840.....
Problem is I get hard crashes with the OCZ regardless of voltage even at 840 and 2.3v while the Corsair will run 840 at 2.2v all day long rock solid...
With the OCZ I tried setting everything to Auto to kick in the EPP settings which set 5-6-6-18 and 2.3v ? I tried setting everything manually at the 5-5-5-15 and 2.3v settings OCZ gives on the web site and on the sticks...but it just wont run 1066 regardless of setting.
Knocking it way back to 840 (where the Corsair is a rock) it will last about 10 minutes in gaming and then locks the computer hard and includes a nice electronic squeal just for fun....
Board has all the usual OCing settings tweaked in the BIOS...EIST and HyperPath3 and all those type settings are disabled. Ive been OCing this board for 6 months now at a mild 3Ghz without any issues... (334*9 and the 5/4 divider is running the ram at 418)
I updated the motherboard BIOS to the latest 2301....previously I was running the 2004 BIOS but the update made no difference, still hard locks.
Anyone have any suggestions ? Has anyone gotten this ram working ? Should I just return it ?
