HOT FIND: List of Corsair XMS RAM Recommended BIOS Memory Timing Settings

Post by FlyingPenguin »

I was having some crashing issues on my New Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe with a pair of Corsair XMS 512Mb matched TwinX 3200 memory sticks. Desktop was fine but DOD & UT would crash after 20 - 30 minutes, usally a BSOD.

Found some information that ANYONE running Corsair XMS Ram should look at.

It seems (fingers crossed) to have solved my problems. I left the system running UT2004 all night with a 20 player bot match and it didn't lock up. Also played DOD for 4 hours with no problems this morning.


There's a detailed list of BIOS memory settings on Corsair's forums. They specify the exact timing settings to use with different Corsair XMS RAM. These are the settings that the specified RAM was actually tested with on specified mobos by Corsair to certify them.

This crashing issue was begining to aggravate the crap out of me. You would think that the default "safe" memory settings in BIOS would work find if you're not overclocking, but nothing helped until I used their recommended timing settings.

I swear the next system is going to be OEM no matter the price - I don't have time for this tweaking sh@t anymore... some of us have a life.
