I have derived from Corsair's forums that I must indeed drop my memory divider to 667 MHz and overclock the CPU in my AMD-based system in order to effectively utilize these 4 gigs of RAM. I was able to set my memory timings and actually successfully overclocked the CPU by 280 MHz by using the AI overclock setting in the BIOS. This showed my CPU running at 3080 MHz and only raised my CPU temp from 37 to 38 degrees. Cannot manually overclock however. Any manual settings I try fail to POST upon reboot. Also STILL cannot select "enable SLI memory" in BIOS...even with successful overclock. Fails to POST and must reset CMOS. And last, but not least, I still cannot enable quad SLI within nVidia control panel without nvlddmkm.sys BSOD w/memory dump. Has anyone out there gotten this to work? Please post some settings if so. |

Well, seeing as no one is responding, I'll just try to keep anyone who cares updated as to my progress. If I do find a solution, I'll be sure to post it in order to help anyone else who might have this same problem.

Bumped HT voltages to 1.4v and disabled Legacy USB. Ran MemTest with all 4 sticks installed for 6 passes with no errors. I'm thinking the RAM is fine and this is either a BIOS settings system stability issue or some other hardware has gone bad. Graphic card? Mobo? PSU? Still looking... --------------- JMark1 Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe, AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 Dual Core AM2, 2x XFX GeForce 7950 GX2s, 4x 1GB Corsair Dominator CM2X1024-8500C5D, Seagate 300GB HDD (boot), 2x Raptor 150GB HDDs, Cooler Master water cooled, TruePower 680W PSU, Vista Ultimate x64 |

OK...so I finally taught myself to overclock the system. I do believe I successfully OCed the CPU here:

Beyond frustrated here. This is looking more and more like a Vista-driver incompatibility issue. Anyone ever suspect a company of writing poor drivers in order to move more hardware? --------------- JMark1 Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe, AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 Dual Core AM2, 2x XFX GeForce 7950 GX2s, 4x 1GB Corsair Dominator CM2X1024-8500C5D, Seagate 300GB HDD (boot), 2x Raptor 150GB HDDs, Cooler Master water cooled, TruePower 680W PSU, Vista Ultimate x64 |
