I dont wanna overjuice it.. cos itt said max is 1.9v... Wudnt 2.1 or 2.2 kill my babies??
Oh no.. am i reallly hi??
Ok, sorry, now I can focus....
Is it possible you;re confusing your ram for another model?
I have a pair in my other machine of corsair XMS2 Dominator pc6400 at 4-4-4-12 and the spec is 2.1 volts.
Sometimes a particular brand of memory won't work with a particular board, or the EPP might not work plain and simple. S*it happens. hehe
Corsair made this ram with different chips. The initial batch was made of the good micron d9 chips (I think that's what they are) which were kickass and are now still. They WILL run 1066 if they are these chips. After that they substituted with another brand which I won't get into, and they could not do near what the micron chips could do. They would overclock, but not half as much, and some just died like mine. hehe I had to do an RMA.
For the record, Corsair is awesome and will always accomodate you. They gave me no hassle and replaced my ram with better. I have had no problems since and it's all good.
It's weird, I noticed (maybe) they eliminated the pc2 6400 cl4 dominator, as I am having trouble finding them anymore (maybe not looking in the right place?) But they now sub it with pc8500 to the best of my knowledge, or the plain XMS (silver heatsink ones with non-EPP which are good too). I think there is also a CL3 model. I guess they are using the better chips now for the faster spec'd stuff nowadays, but I could be wrong.
This is information I have put together when a stick died on me and I peeked under the sink.
I later read more on the web in the asus forum and in the corsair forum so this has happened a few times that I know of on other boards too of varying chipsets, not just mine in specific, so could be...
Thing is that no one can argue with this.....if they spec Ram at 800mhz at 4-4-4-12 (for example) that's all it has to do really. Now if they really are EPP.......
Question:
When you go into your BIOS are there EPP options? Maybe an "SLI READY MEMORY" menu item or something to that effect?
On my nf590sli chipset I have these options. I am sketchy on my Intel Stuff with my past 2 machines being AMDs.
I would think there would be something telling you in BIOS about EPPs or Crossfire/sli memory or something that would give indication that it recognizes these EPPs of the RAM.
Post a CPUz screenshot in here. It will show EPPs if they are present.
I am interested in finding out what this is myself......
Seems recently, that there have been all kinds of issues with RAM in different boards.
