Kingston Hyper-X incompatible with Rev 2.0 Nforce 2 boards?

[human2k]

Is this true?

 

[wicktron]

I haven't heard of any

From Excaliberpc.com:

"All HyperX Memory may have incompatable issue with nForce2 V2.0 M/B, please consider it before you make the purchase. Return will not be accepted due to this reason"

i've read of incompatibilites with the abit nf-s boards when using dual channel ddr. i also emailed kingston if there was the same problem with 8rdas, but the reply was that it should theoretically work, but has not been tested. i've also seen alot of hit and miss with the hyperx, some are doing great, some don't live up to the rated specs. i just bought some twinmos/winbond to be safe....will be trying it out in a few days.

i used a stick of hyperx pc3000 512 megs in my abit nf7-s v 2.0 with no problems..... but i didn't use the dual channel just one...

 

[bedrocked]

yes i had problems running hyper x on my msi board.

HyperX saved me on my 8rda+...had some a 512mb pc2700 generic stuff from a local store but that didn't work @ 166mhz so I returned it, bought some mushkin 512mb pc3200 the middle quality one and that wouldn't even get me into windows without causing a reboot took that back and they gave me a free upgrade to the expensive mushkin and yet again didn't get me into windows....so I bought some HyperX pc3000 512mb and am running @ 197mhz cas 2-2-2-4

 

[scrubman]

what motherboard necro?

 

[Triggerhappy007]

He said 8rda+.

 

[bedrocked]

8rda+ is the only nforce board kingston will support.

ditto, stable too

 

[snik]

I'm running HyperX on my A7N8X just fine.

 

[drewdogg808]

all you guys who are running hyperx fine, do you have a single stick or running dual channel?

 

[Krk3561]

dual

 

[Necrolezbeast]

I'm running single for now, dual when I actually earn some sort of income...almost graduated so I get to go get a job soon, yipee!!

 

[snik]

Single for now. I actually have 2 sticks right now. HyperX 3200 512 and Corsair XMS 2700 256

 

[pelikan]

Dual channel, but not rev. 2.

 

[Killrose]

I'm running (2) 256mb sticks of HyperX PC3500 in dual channel on my 8RDA with no issues. 200MHz/ 2.0-2-2-6 setting and 2.77volts.

 

[cheetoden]

My hyper x works good on my 8RDA+, but my board is only rev 1.1 and I'm using single channel.

 

[Megatomic]

I can't think of any reason why Kingston HyperX wouldn't work in a rev. 2.0 nForce2 board if it would work in any previous rev. Not one. And on that note, I'm running 2 x 512MB Kingston HyperX PC2700 in dual channel mode DDR333 5-2-2-2 on my Epox 8RDA+ rev. 1.1. Smooth as butter.

I'm running 2-256 HyperX 3200 CL2 in dual on a Rev 2 A7N8XD @194fsb so far OK
