Here's Hoping... Here's hoping I haven't blown it again. I just ordered the following to go into my GA-P35-DS3L: Mushkin XP PC2-8000 Redline 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1000 CL5-5-5-12. Can anybody give me some encouraging words as far as compatibility? Thanks everyone. :biggrin: |
Shouldn't have any trouble at all. The Redlines are good stuff, often don't need as much voltages as other sticks, and tend to have very few compatibility problems. Just double-check your mobo manual to make sure you use the correct pair of slots. |
Thanks MpG! Much appreciated. :thumb: |
Just go into your bios and set the timings and other settings to what it says on the sticker, 5-5-5-12, 500mhz x 2 = 1000. They'll work great, I found that they can even run well on less than stock voltage, it says 2.0 to 2.1 on the sticker but I have mine at 1.95 and run them at stock timings with 533mhz (x2=1066) and benched them/tested to full stability no problems at all. I could probably push them to 1100 on the recommended voltages (2.0ish) but I've been dealing with some folding errors so I set my comp to stock till I know whats causing them; but when it's done I'm gonna push my sticks a bit and see if I can't at least get close to 1100. |
Thanks encorp! Diddo on my appreciation. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: |
Check out my sig... never ever had any problems with gigabyte boards and mushkin ram sticks. |
Just outta curiousity, why are you switching from your Ballistix to that Mushkin? And i heartily recommend the Mushkin...just wondering. Those would likely do a nice 4:5 ratio. If you have your E8400 @ 9x422, that'd be DDR2-1055 :) Or if you get really lucky, 3:4 (DDR2-1125) |
Just to give you the background on this -n7-, I'll link you back to this thread. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...m-re-boot.html I was having almost constant blue screens even without any OC. When the Mod on the Gigabyte forum said that the Ballistix 1066 just would not work well with my GA-P35-DS3L, I thought that I had better try something else. I've been screwing with this issue for over two months now and I feel that I have exhausted every possible remedy that I or the collective group (HWC and other forums) could come up with. I'm just at the point where I have to try something else and hope it works. I am hoping that because the Redlines run well at lower than 2.2v, the mobo may not have to supply as power and will be more stable. Just a theory for now. :biggrin: |
Okay ppl I haven't decided whether to pickup the redlines (in stock) or the ascents (not in stock) until I do STOP BUYING IT UP. That is all. |
