ok i did some more testing today as i still cant get to radio shack thanks to snow.anyhow i can only get 190fsb max with NO vdd mod.but mosfets are ram sinked and large hs/fan on nb.
first to test my ram xms3500: i built a second rig with parts i have laying around,1800A tbred on an 8k3a+.
wouldnt post past 180fsb.same as my samsung did so doesnt mean my ram is bad imo.
then i read the sticky here again and did some of americanas suggestions.i ran the 3500 at 80% and then jacked the fsb upto 206.booted and ran fine.the vdimm was 2.5v 2.0-2-2-5 and mem was at 166mhz.
i think i was able to run all the 210+fsb with the mem@80%
this ram will also run 190fsb 2.0-2-2-5 @2.9v but not one fsb over that.but why the cpu will run 210fsb but not synch?
hopefully you say its just the vdd mod needs done is all.i honestly think the ram is fine,heck anything run those settings at 190fsb will do 210fsb easy,id hope anyhow.also i know i can rma it back to corsair if need be so im not sweating it.
could it be an issue of xms not liking the 8rda? i can try my samsung in it as i only tryed that once when i first got mobo.still didnt know my settings and tweaks well tho.
opinions? the vdd mod the culprit? the ram/mobo issue?the ram bad?
i know you might just be guessing also but i dont know this ram or mobo well to come to a good conclusion.
