I got a new stick of 512 MB PC3200C2 with a silver heat spreader and stuck it in today. I already had one with a blue heat spreader and got another for my video editing. I had my pocessor running fine at 23 * 150 mHz(3450) with my ram set on turbo setting (*2.66) so it was running at 400mHz. I installed the ram today and it was running fine until I played a shockwave and it crashed. The cas was at 2, so I put it at 2.5, which is recommended for two sticks of ram. It still crashed and I tried to run a benchmark program and it crashed. I turned my settings down to normal so it is running at 375 mHz and it works fine. I thought it was supposed to run at 400 mHz? Does it only run 400 with one stick and slower with more than one? Should I RMA the ram? I was already upset with running cas 2.5 for two sticks but now I have to run the ram 25 mHz slower.
I called the corsair 800 number and tried to get to tech support but it kept looping back to the main menu
Cliff notes:
Recieved new stick of 512MB PC3200C2 ram
Only runs stable at 375 mHz instead of 400 mHz with one stick
It works at:
Albatron PX845PE Pro II (Most recent BIOS)
CPU: 150 mHz *23 = 3451
(2 sticks)DDR speed 375; Latency 2.5, 6, 3, 3.
or (1 sitck) DDR speed 400; Latency 2, 6, 3, 3.
It fails at:
Albatron PX845PE Pro II (Most recent BIOS)
CPU: 150 mHz *23 = 3451
(2 sticks)DDR speed 400; Latency 2.5, 6, 3, 3.
