If you're asking me, no I can't cause I haven't tried it :p But if this doesn't get resolved, that's what I plan to try next.Quote:

Heh alright well has anyone else here tried it yet? I want to know if corsair 3500 will work or not in dual channel and overclocking past 200 mhz.
S, the 2.0 board seems to have had much more problems with the Hyper-X that I have seen. I know for a fact that the Abit problem was discovered before the Epox one. It also seems that very few are having luck with the Abit whatsoever, while there are some winners with the Epox. The NF7-S was the first board I have heard of that does have serious problems with the RAM, but now this does look to suck for Epox owners as well.Quote:

I'm running an Abit NF7-S V2.0 w/an A1 stepping, and 2 stcicks of 512 MB HyperX 3000. Currently nice and stable at 12x200 w/ memory at 5/6 (166 MHz). Bump the mem clock up, and the system won't even boot all the way into windows.
I have not been too overly concerned, just figured I had some bad RAM and would try Corsair 3500 in a bit, but now I'm curious. If everyone is having these issues, there may be more to it...
Is it possible it's an A1 stepping issue? Is anyone w/o the A1 having problems?
edit: Any NF7-S v2 owners might wanna check this thread as well. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...threadid=12199
OK i've already found a buyer for my 1 512 stick of KHX. I need to know by tomorow what i should buy to replace it that can run 200FSB + insync. I was looking at the TwinMOS or either the Corsair XMS series. What does everyone think i should go with?
fat I just made a thread about xms hopefully we get answers
TwinMOS with TwinMOS chips. The TwinMOS PC3200 BH-5 chips are great, but they don't perform as well in an AMD setup. TwinMOS chips on a TwinMOS PCB is the best for AMD setups. However, any TwinMOS PC3200 chips will get you ~460DDR.Quote:

ok guys, i hadn't been following this too closely but since i'm sick right now and have nothing to do, i started reading a bit and have a question - is this specific to the 8rda+, or the 8rda non plus version as well? if it affects the non plus, then i guess i'm not being affected by this, as i run 2 hyperX pc3000 512MB sticks in dual channel configuration and have taken my ram as high as 194. i haven't checked which north bridge stepping i have though, so if it's specific to a stepping then perhaps that's why i haven't hit the wall at 180fsb.
i do however, have my own slew of problems with this 8rda, as noted in this thread, so i may have to get ahold of 2 different sticks of ram, maybe some crucial or something, and see what happens when i run them in dual channel. maybe i'm having some other sort of issue with the hyperX?
It's specific to the A1/C1 Crush 18D north bridge stepping. It's most likely that your 8RDA doesn't have it, but I can't say for certain.Quote:

so the problem is only with two sticks for certain??? cuz i planned on getting another one this summer. this blows, well, at least i can enjoy my 200fsb till i get more ram. looks like i'll be going with an intel setup sooner than i thought.
It's MOSTLY two sticks. Single 512mb sticks are a mixed bag at this point. Some are running ok, some like crap. So it's a 50/50 at this point.Quote:

If this was already mentioned, sorry. Don't feel like re-reading thread over again!
Does this pertain to two DIMM's on one channel also, or is this restricted to dual-channel?
Obviously it isn't too cool if DC is broken, but if you just want more RAM perhaps you could run it on one channel. Considering the marginal performance increase dual channel looks to provide, it wouldn't be a really big loss.
One channel is a mixed bag as well. Some people have gotten to 190-200 with that, and others like myself still can't get over 180mhz.Quote:

I'm lightin a candle for all you poor souls tonight ;)
Are the Asus boards affected as well. The A7N8X specifically. Is it all nforce2 chipsets? Also will the 512MB Hyper X DDR 333 work fine at stock (166Mhz) in dual channel mode?
