electroglyph Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Had 512mb of PC3200 in this PC, running at normal 200mhz.But when I pop in another 512mb chip with very similar timings it drops down to 166mhz.I tried swapping the chips into different slots, tried disabling most of the "extra" stuff in BIOS like Cool n quiet, spread spectrum, etc. also tried manually setting different timings (it autodetects at 2.5 so i tried forcing it to 3, etc.) all to no avail.Any ideas? I haven't tried adjusting voltage yet...it's set at 2.6v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 It would help if you told us what RAM you have and the model/brand of your motherboard . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electroglyph Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 my el cheapo MB didn't like single sided RAM being mixed with double sided RAM. i hate new memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 So it was the chip count, e.g 16, 8 or 4 chips... I presume you needed the 16 chip version? VIA chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
