Corsair 512MB Cas2

Everything works fine at 2-3-3 but once I clock it to 2-2-2 all hell breaks loose and I Windows won't even load. Ummm...seems rather extreme to me but do you think the reason is because its a high density stick?...I heard that 512mb DIMMs are more sensitive or prone to error true?...Funny thing is it could boot at 160fsb at 2-3-3 and 2-2-2 but as usual at the latter setting Windows doesn't load. Would the performance difference be too small between the two settings?
 
hmm not sure, mines on pretty agressie timings but its 2x 256 and its doin ok

btw, they say CL2.5 but CAS2.... wtf is CL then? (cas latency right?) why is it 2.5 in the specs but everyone says 2 all the time???? :Q

Dude, 2-3-3 IS cas2.

the first # is the cas latency, the second is the Ras latency, and I don't remember what the third one is.

Cas 2.5 is what you DDR is typically spec'd to run at. A lot of people have success running it at cas 2 though.
 
I've had Crucial RAM before and they had no problems running at 2-2-2 timings... my Corsair stick does though. Interestingly enough, it has Infineon chips... but i'm going to try later a 2-3-3 5t,7t Strong timing... hmmm... Mushkins Rev3s can do 2-2-2 @ 150fsb easily but the highest they go up to is 256mb... it must probably be the high density then?
 
64x64 chips have a *really* hard time running at CAS2 without problems! I'd recommend 3-3-3 timings for 64x64 chips to preserve stability. If you really *need* 2-2-2 timings most 32x64 chips will run with these timings at high FSB speeds too.

Cheers!
