[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Hello,
I've two Asus K8V SE Deluxe motherboard (with Athlon 64/3000 socket 754).

I bough two 1 GB PC3200 memory module.

One the two motherboard :
- when I use the two memory SIMM on memory slot 1 and 2, the computer hang
(after 2 or 10 hours) when running Windows
- when I use the two memory SIMM on memory slot 1 and 3, it seem there is no
problem.

running memtest ( http://www.memtest.org/ ) detect no problem

And a last point, when I use two or three 512 MB memory module, I've never
problem.
I just noticied with three module :
- with bios 1005 , the memory speed is 133 Mhz
- with bios 1006 or beta 1007.2 , the memory speed is 166 Mhz (as expected)

I downloaded bios at
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIOS/Socket_754/VIA_Chipset/K8T800/K8V_Deluxe/

That board can be picky about memory modules, especially 1GB ones.
What make and model are they?

With two sticks, they should be in slots 1 and 3, and the speed should be
200, not 166.
You will get 133 if all three slots are populated.

Your sticks are apparently not a matched set, therefore the SPD timings
differ between the two, causing the speed to default to a lower 166
(although I never heard of this setting for that board) in order to keep
timing errors to a minimum. The only way to alleviate this situation adnd
get the full rated speed is to purchase a matched set of RAM.
