Hi,
I'm a newbie at memory timings and would appreciate some help figuring this out.
I just purchased a set of Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5C which runs perfectly on my Asus M4A785-M (I memtested the heck out of them and they pass with flying colors).
I previously had two other sticks: a Corsair VS1GB667D2 and a Kingston KVR800D2N6/2G. These two also ran perfectly with each other (also memtested), but 3 GB of RAM is no longer enough for me on Win7 64 bits.
I guess I'm running into timing issues now when trying to run all 4 sticks together. Except I am unsure what config to try in the BIOS. As suggested on other forums, I tried relaxed timings (6-6-6-18-24) since that's what the Kingston seems to like, but Memtest still fails like crazy. I tried switching the sticks around (to no avail) and also raised the voltage to 1.8 after checking that all sticks supported it, didn't work.
So I ditched the Kingston, thinking the Corsair sticks would work better, but I still can't figure out the correct timings. =/
I don't know what else would help. I've never overclocked or touched memory timings before although I've read and understand what they basically do.
Would someone be willing to suggest configs? I'd like to be able to use all my RAM, even at a slower pace, but I'd settle for using just the Corsair sticks--if I can get even those three to work together.
Purchasing another set of 4gb is out of the question, as I am out of $$$.
Thanks in advance!
