GEIL PC3500 Dual Channel Kit

[INGlewood78]

1700+ DLT3C WPMW @ 2.3ghz (11.5x200)
Antec True Power 380W
Abit NF7-S
(2x512) GEIL PC3500 2-3-3-6 (dual channel)

Doe anyone out there have a similar set as I. I cant get my POS ram to post anywhere over 200mhz with these timings. Its rated at PC3500 2-3-3-6. I even tried pumping in 2.9v to the ram but it hangs during prime. Thanks for the help!

GeIL RAM is specifically made/timed for Intel chipsets. I just recently e-mailed GeIL tech support and you know what they said?

Because in the nvidia dual channel is list:
The single channel is CL=2.5-6-3-3 or 2-6-3-3 .But in nvidia dual channel is
2.5-8-4-4 or 2-8-4-4. So nvidia dual channel must set 2.5-8-4-4 or 2-8-4-4.
In other chipset is no this problem.

Good luck running your RAM with the right timings...because I sure can't get my PC2700 to run at 2-2-2-5...

had a similar problem with one of their pc3200 kits. rma'd it for a new one and sold it still sealed in the package. using Corsair XMS now and it works perfectly.

Im currently running Geil 3500 ultra platinum, 2x256, running perfectly stable in dual channel mode. I havent tried overclocking at all, but prime95 runs fine.

That is not POS, your setup is responsible. I am running GEIL at 484 MHz on Intel machine. Why are you guys buying memory designed for Intel motherboards?
N-Force 2 has problem running all sorts of memory, not only GEIL. Samsung PC 3200 for example, easily 440 MHz and higher on Intel, cannot hit 400 MHz on N-Force 2.
What does that tell you about your motherboard and processor?

oh yeah, and i have an 8rda+ a1/c1 + barton 2500 now at 230 2.5-3-3-11!

dual channel is so fun! must try vdd mod for higher fsb!

hope my 230w psu isnt limiting me
