Hello all.
I recently purchased a gigabyte GA-7VRXP board and a 1900+ XP chip. I also picked up a stick of Samsung memory. Its pc2700 cas2.5 333mhz double sided memory from Googlegear.com.
The trouble I am having is running this memory at anything above 200mhz, the lowest setting. MY other BIOS settings are:
133mhz FSB
1T timing
CAS 2.5
I can get the memory to post at 266mhz, but its unstable even upping voltage by .2 to 2.7v.
Shouldn't I be able to run the memory at 333mhz?? 200, 266 and 333mhz are my only choices without dorking around with the FSB.
Out of frustration I bought a stick of Corsair 2700c2 from Googlegear thats Cas2 AND 333MHZ "GAURANTEED".
If anybody with this setup could suggest some settings that should work, I would love to hear them for either memeory type.
I wish the Samsung memory had worked as it was $55 cheaper, but nothing is more frustrating to me than buying what should be a high performance part, and it doesn't work out.
Also, whats the deal with "burning in" memory? I've been running Dungeon Siege and UT and some CPU Stability test overnight to test stabily, but do I ned to do something specific to burn in memory?
Thanks!
Oh, on a side note, I am looking to get a ThermalRight AX-7 heatsink and attach an ThermalTake Smart case fan to it for effecient, but quieter cooling. The volcano 6+ I have now is entirely too loud. Any thoughts? Will the Thermal Right AX-7 fit this gigabyte board?
Thanks!
