I just replaced an AMD 3500 with x2 4800 and couldn't make it work with T2. Blue screens then reboot by itself.
When the 3500 was there, T1 worked just fine even @ 2714.
Does anyone have any idea to make it work with T1?
Thanks.
MSI K8N Neo4 Plat.
AMD x2 4800 with stock HSF
Corsair XMS 3200C2 Pro
PSU Tagan 4800w 12v @ 28A
BIOS 1.D0
what doesn't work, t1 or t2? neither?

this has been discussed to death, but there's nothing wrong with running 2t; there's no noticeable difference, altho in certain benchmarks you may see a few % pts in favor of 1t timings (1.1 - 2.1% or 30mb/s)... in fact, if 2t allows you a greater overclock, it can even make up the difference and then some. it's of little significance with a64's architecture. forget cas latency, ram dividers, etc: cpu MHz is still king.
i have the same mem you have (xms512-3200c2pro), and the difference in memory bandwidth between cas2 and cas3 latency was basically non-existent (within a reasonable margin of error of less the 1%, or 3-4mb/s). realworld tests doing video encoding, file compression/decompression, and gaming showed no measurable difference either.
running the same "real world" applications @ 5/4 divider or 1t/2t again only showed differences within a margin of error - differences which were more than compensated for by the higher overclocks avail by running "looser" memory timings.
not that there's anything wrong with being anal about a 1-2% difference in a particular benchmark. there is certainly nothing wrong with trying to squeeze out a couple of % pts, as long as it's not creating a greater disadvantages in another area (like CPU or ram MHz, or having to run fewer sticks of ram - 1gb instead of 2gb for example).
