Hey all,

I'm still overly confused at the entire DRAM configuration methods.

I presently have a system that will not properly pass memtest86 (something like 33,000 errors) when running a set of OCZ memory, dual-channel on a K8N Neo2 Platinum.

I see the markings on the modules themselves, but I'm not sure how to compare the settings marked on the module to the DRAM Configuration on the motherboard.

As is, I took the OCZ kit and tried it on my ASUS A8N-E motherboard, and still had issues.

The following is how my BIOS DRAM Configuration is:

TCL - 2.5
TRAS - 7T
TRCD - 3T
TRP - 3T
TRC - 11T
TRFC - 24T
TRWT - 4T
TRQ - 3T
1T/2T memory timing - 2T

Now, on the module itself, I see:
2.5 - 3 - 3 - 7

I have no idea how to get these numbers to match the ones in the BIOS. Which numbers are these referring to in the BIOS configuration, and do I need to manually change the BIOS to match the RAM?

I put my DDR400 RAM in the K8N Neo2 Platinum, some cheaper stuff I already had, and it runs flawless in memtest86 and in Windows. What am I missing here? Can anyone try and explain this to me in lamens terms?

I appreciate any and all help!

Thanks!

So, I did some more research and made some changes.

On my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, I made some changes to the DRAM settings in the BIOS configuration to match my settings on the RAM module, so now, in memtest86, I have:
2.5-3-3-7 but I am still getting errors.

Once again, OCZ's website says this module should be compatible and is recommended for this motherboard.

Can anyone help me with this situation?

Thanks
