Re: [H] Incompatible Memory?

Low voltage RAM is good and I think OCZ is the only company making it. That way if your mobo is undervolting what it reports the RAM should still run fine. Whats the default voltage on that at 1066 if you don't mind my asking?

I was just thinking of getting that memory for my 780i gaming

1066 memory no problem.



On the Newegg site there is a Manufacturer reply on one of the 
reviews, stating setting that should be set.

You've probably got it set right but I'd try it at 2.2v or above to get
it stable. Unfortunately, most boards that aren't enthusiast expensive
seldom go above 2.1v. My board is borderline stable with Corsair 1066
RAM and tops out at 2.1v so I just run it at 800 and it's fine.

I just put 8 GB of G.Skill ram only my Mobo (Gigabite P35-DS4).  This

is DD2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 ram.  I got this from NewEgg.

I quickly noticed Win7 would crash before too long. Finally, I got

into Prime95 and it immediately halted saying that there was an error
in calculation (it was getting wrong results for known calculations!).
After seeing this, I put the old 2G of HyperX DD2-800 ram back in the
system.  Prime95 seems to be working now, though I have not completed a
full-length stress test.  I have been using this ram for the last two
years, though.

I did try a few other setting of the timing on the G.Skill ram, but

never got to anything that seems stable.

Should I keep going with this ram (while trying to find some setting

that works) or seek to return for an exchange with Newegg?  By the way,
the old ram gets a 5.5 on Windows Experience Index while the new ram
gets a 7.2.

Thanks.
