Problem with DDR2 1.8v setting in BIOS

[Magus1028]

Hi everyone I'm new here. I have a problem with my new mother board.
It's a Gigabyte N650SLI-DS4. When I go into the BOIS and check the voltage on my memory (Crucial DDR2 1GB x 2 PC2 6400) The 1.8v setting says FAIL beside it. Any help you guys can give would be great.

Crucial memory can run anywhere from1.8v to 2.5v
depending upon which specific model you purchased.
Judging by the message you have RAM that requires more voltage than the mobo is presently supplying.
I run the same MOBO with Patriot Extreme Performance LLK RAM and get the same message until I turn the volts up

I would pull up speedfan and make sure your vDIMM is correct. I had this same problem on my DS3. When I tried to set the volts to 2.2V speedfan reported a vDIMM of 2.32V, which is significantly higher, and I got the FAIL message in the BIOS. I changed it back down to 2.1V, and then the FAIL went away, and speedfan now reports my vDIMM (vCore2 measurement) as 2.1V.

My system seems to also have had stability problems when I was getting the fail reading, I think the motherboard was trying to overvolt the RAM or something (patriot ddr2-800 LLK).

Ok I'll se what happens when I up the voltage a little. Thanks for the help I'll let you know what happens.
