169000 errors on memtest

[Deathangel337]

I ran all the way through memtest and got tons of erros on 4 and 6 the second half of 7 and the very end of 8. I did push the voltage to 2.9 right before the test but it seems to run just fine like this. Also the test took like 40 minutes. I searched and a lot of people said update the bios. Ive got a dfi ultra d. Where do I go for the latest nf4 bios drivers? 3

Another thing how do I switch to 1T timing? I tried to do it through memtest but everytime i tried it like froze the program. Any help??

Does it pass if you run everything on stock? You will NOT be able to run 1T command with 4 sticks of DDR, btw.

You can't run at 1T timings with 4 sticks of ram.

Try running memtest from a CD rather than the one thats built in. I am a bit suspicious of the built in memtest, because my system runs perfectly fine, and passes memtest run from a cd, but the built in memtest gives me thousands of errors.

I read in that overclocking thing that 2t suffers a large hit on performance... Does that mean Im kinda Fed with this memory? What would u guys suggest? BTW I just updated to the latest bios.

In most cases running at 2T has very very little impact, usualy 2-3%. I did see an 11% hit with video encoding, but there may have been some other factors as well, or it could have been a fluke. I am now running 2x1gb sticks of OCZ platinum rather than the 4x512mb sticks I was running before.
