should I return it.

[Ken_C]

ok did the testing 2 hrs worth.

4-4-4-15 ok t333 T2
5-4-4-15 ok t400 T2

Thats about as good as it gets. Its not bad just not as expected.

Im returing them and buying Mushkins -Thanks Greg

alright muskin man lo li got a question for ya since your helping others i have no prob with my ram as its not running at 4-4-4-12 becuase i have it on auto and have no idea what to do to make it work lol, it is corsiar xms2 4x1GB and the volt is 2.10 i belive to start with, and there 800, my bios and baord isin my sig and i know u can hit f1 to get he secret memory things., though everest old edtion says it only runs 5-5-5-18 at 800 idk anmore can u enlighten me lol

C.I.A.2: Disabled
Performance Enhance:Normal (Try upto turbo later)
DRAM Timing Selectable (SPD): Manual
CAS Latency Time: 4
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 4
DRAM RAS# Precharge: 4
Precharge delay (tRAS): 12

*Below use highest numbers first, then optimising towards lower ones, once stable*
ACT to ACT Delay (tRRD): 4
Rank write to READ Delay: 11(3-5 will most likely work, if no post, try 9-11)
Write to Precharge Delay: 6(4-6 since 1GB sticks)
Read to Precharge: 6(4-6 since 1GB sticks)
Refresh to ACT Delay: 55(likely 25-35 since 1GB sticks, depends on chip though)
Static tRead Value: 9 (5-8 will most likely work, lower performs better)
Static tRead Phase Adjust - n/a
Command Rate (CMD): 2T

DDR2 Overvoltage Control: +0.3v

Test ram with memtest86+ or hci memtest for windows

thanks man i installed my vendetta 2 today and that fixed my heat probs lol i dropped over 10c. and i will try those and get back to u,

Ok I got my Muskin today I went with the redline since it is proven to be a good set. I decided to go with a high FSB. I heard its better than tight timings on a core2.

Its all on auto what timings should It be on for best performace.
The MB is a asus P5k-e
Thanks

[MushkinGreg]

Very nice

Give these timing ranges a try, starting with highest, lowering from there

FSB Strap to North Bridge: Auto
DRAM Frequency: Use Rated Speed
DRAM Command Rate: 2T
DRAM Timing Control: Manual
CAS# Latency: 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5
RAS# Precharge: 5
RAS# Activate to Precharge: 12 (since 12 seems to be working fine at 1066Mhz)

*Use Highest Numbers First for Below*
Write Recovery Time: 5-6
REF Cycle Time: 55-60
Write to Read Delay: 3-5 (If no post setting this value, try 9-11)
RAS# To RAS# Delay: 3-5
Read to Pre Time : 5-6
DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled (Enabled if possible, unlikely at 533 fsb)
Transation Booster: Disabled
Relax Level: 0-3 , lower for more performance, has a huge impact on performance / stability running high fsb

DDR2 Voltage : 2.0-2.1v

ok just set it to all the low numbers and all is good -Thanks again.

np anytime
