I got 1 gig Mushkin 3200 "222 special" memory and it's failing prim95 torture test.

Setting are to 200fsb 2-2-2-5 with 5:4 Divider. My 512 megs of bh5 buffalo ran fine in these setting for 24 hours of prime 95.

So before i rma this back to newegg, i tried the sticks in there alone and they both pass individually!!

But soon as i put them in together, prime fails after 30 min or so.


Any input???

Yeah, you're not giving them enough voltage (vdimm) to run dual-channel. Mushkin requires lots of voltage, for some reason. Of course, it will handle lots of voltage, so do be afraid to give it up to around 2.9v, if that's what it requires to pass Prime95.

got is7 board .. max is 2.8v
2.8 vdimm gets my bh5 buffalo past prime in dual channel
and it will get the mushkin to pass if they're in there individually (single channel mode)
