Corsair Twin XMS4000 DDR Ram problem
Hi All,
CPU-Z ver 1.19a only recognizes these sticks as 'Corsair DDR-SDRAM PC3700' I am also running an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe MB (1014.003 BIOS rev) and it thinks they are DDR400 !! Anybody know whats going on ? TIA Remove ZZZ from my email address to reply |

Anybody know whats going on ? More than likely both CPU-Z and the bios were coded before XMS4000 existed. Could also be that Corsair used different info in the SPD than the ram is capable of for increased compatibility. Either way, it only matters how fast it will run, not how it IDs. For example, my Buffalo Tech PC3700 is identified at Melco PC2700 in CPU-Z, and the SPD sets the timings at 2.5,3,3,7. But that doesn't stop it from running at DDR440, 2,3,2,6. |

You must be right as CPU-Z 20a still thinks its PC3700 ram and I
believe I have the latest MB bios. Oh well, have to wait and see for more updates then. Thanks guys ! On Sat, 17 Jan 2004 17:23:36 GMT, "Skid" wrote: "CT" wrote in message .. .
