865P Neo With Dual Channel DDR

I just got my Crucial 2x256 DDR400/PC3200 ram modules today and installed them and they are working fine. When I bootup it says "Dual Channel/Linear." My question is what would be the best way to overclock this computer. I have an Intel 2.8GHZ processor with an 800MHZ FSB. I tried using Fuzzy Logic to auto overclock the computer but it just locks up. It didn't start locking up until I installed this ram. I was wondering if Core Center would overclock or just what would be the best way to overclock this computer. I want to be able to reach 3ghz. Please reply I appreciate anyone's help.

Hi adamcn20,
Hmmm... To me... the Best way to o/c a system is always thru BIOS settings... As now you are running DDR 400 RAMs, be sure that you've set your settings to CAS 2-2-2-5/7-8burst and make sure that if you want stability lower them to run at 333MHz if not be sure that you've loosen enough stress off your RAMs at 400MHz...
All the Best... :D!!!

Need help with Dual Channel DDR memory

Hi, I have a msi nvidia MOBO, K7N2G and it supports dual channel memory. The manual says to put one in 1 and one in 3. I did then it wont start. System gives the old beep.........beep.........beep. I have to patriot 512 ddr sticks. They work fine in slot 1 and 2 but not in "dual channel" mode. Do i have to do anything else in order to get these to work?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

hi
try slot 2&3.
what brand of memory?
what speed is the memory working in?
there is no option to disable or enable dual channel.
just put them in slot 1&3 or 2&3.
bye

Random Reboots with dual channel

Hi,
I just bought yesterday the following system.
Intel P4 2.8 Northwood HP enabled
MSI 865PE/Neo 2 Platinum Edition
Maxtor Diamond Star 9 200 GB 8MB Cache 7200rpm
Elixir 2x512MB DDR 400 CL3
Toshiba DVD 16x
Creative Geforce 4 Ti 4400 128MB
Logitech Cordless Keyboard connected and a logitech cordless optical mouse
19 inch belinea monitor.
The power supply is a no name product LPK2-30 with the following specs.
420W
3.3V 28A
+5V 36A
-5V 0.5A
+12V 17A
-12V -0.8A
It says that is P4 ready, i know which does mean nothing
Operating System:
Windows XP Professional SP1
All Hotfixes and Updates applied
Newest drivers for all the system parts
The errors during the windows crashes are irq not less or equal or page fault, which looks for me pretty much like a problem with the memory.
Ok what i tried so far.
Single channel with 512MB works fine.
Single channel with 1GB works fine except one strange thing restarting the machine and it got stuck during the bios loading worked fine after i pressed reset.
Dual channel 1/3 1 GB get random reboots.
Dual channel 2/4 1 GB even worse but i think at this point my newly installed died.
I tried to set memory voltage from 2.65 up to 2.8 but did not change the behaviour.
memtest with one modules in slot 1 no errors
memtest with dual channel 1/3 1 gb no errors running 30 minutes
i will try now a memtest with the second single module in memslot 3.
No MAT or dot ram settings are 3,3,3.
I am bit running out of ideasö
before i forget i updated the bios from 3.3 to 3.5 but did not change the problems.
Maybe you guys have some ideas what else can i try.
thx a lot in advance. i hope i provided all informations which are necessary.
greetings faxe

Hi,
i tried a few more things which make confident that i have the problem narrowed down to the memory.
i tried to install windows again with only using the third memory slot single channel and it worked fine.
now i tried to go down with the memory speed to ddr333 and using dual channel and so far that seems to work too.
so i think i will go for other memory.
if you think i am wrong please correct me
greetings markus

Dual Channel DDR Vs. DDR Memory, etc.

So I'm in the process of upgrading again and was hoping to add a little more memory to my system. With all the different types of memory out there it starts to become a little confusing as to how much bang your going to get for your buck and the pitfalls of marketing ?( . Currently i'm looking into Dual Channel DDR since this is the new craze. I currently have 1 512MB stick of PC3200 DDR memory that I plan on replacing with 1GB (2) sticks of Dual Channel DDR PC3700 or PC4000. The difference is 60 bucks and I'm wondering...is it worth the extra cash for PC4000? It's Corsair memory which I currently have never had problems with but it is a little pricier than the generic memory out there.
Is it possible that the only reason to do something like this would be overclocking or is my system going to use the full extent I give it (Or am I putting myself in line so that my memory will be able to support future cpu, etc. upgrades). My specs are below, feel free to ask questions. I appreciate any replies in advance. )
Thanks again,
-MaD

A bios update could fix the RAM compatability problem.
So i\'ve been getting alot of crashes since i purchased this board but more so when I installed the new memory. This last round produced another error message that was logged with microsofts OCR tool. The debug information was submitted and handed back as a memory problem. I downloaded their DOS memory tool to test memory and tried the motherboard with a bunch of different configurations. Here\'s what I found:
4 different sticks of memory at any configuration produced Failures on WMATS+, WINVC and would eventually lockup the system.
I went to the processor....
3 different processors all generated failures with any of the same memory configurations.
I tested all memory sticks in a different system with no failure. It ran 5 passes and even an extended test without failure.
I disconnected my drives from the MB (currently running disk striping on IDE 3, not sure if that is even effective since they are both on the same ide channel. What's up with only one?? and 2 for SATA) and ran the same tests with the memory and none have failed. If i connect the drives and turn of the RAID bios once again all tests + extended pass.
So leads to my question...How do I fix this? I was running a Soyo P4X400 before with Disk striping on two seperate channels and I wanted to bring that same performance to this board. Not sure though if i\'m getting that though...let alone the current problem it has with memory when it\'s enabled.
Any help is appreciated, I dont mind being the Gunnuie pig if it helps other people in the process. I\'m just happy i dont have bad RAM, CPU, and possible the board. )

K8N Neo2 Platinum ( is it true its not good with dual channel?)

hi i ordered the mobo and when it came it didnt work so i sent it back
well the guy called my house and told me that he can send me the same mobo back , then he asked how i would be setting it up when i told him i had 2x sticks of 512 memory he told me that the mobo dont work well with dual channel
is this true or is he just tryin to get me to upgrade ???
thx
memory = 2x 512 mb ddr Samsung

when i told him i had 2x sticks of 512 memory he told me that the mobo dont work well with dual channel
is nearly as good as:

Trouble with Neo4 Platnum and AMD X2 with dual channel memory

I just installed an X2 3800+ in my Neo4 Platnum board. The board had a 3500 in it and ran fine. When I installed the X2, the machine will no longer POST if the memory is in the dual channel mode. I flashed to the latest BIOS (1.8) and it still does not work. I am using 2 Corsair XMS 2-2-2-5 Dimms each at 512MB. The PC POSTs fine if I place both modules in the Green slots. It does not work with 1 in green and 1 in purple (with either Dimms1-2 or 3-4). Has anyone else seen this?

Todd,
Your last post help me understand your situation a bit better. Here are some questions for you:
1- On your old system did these memory sticks work fine has a dual channel pair? Were these 2 memory sticks bought has a dual channel rated matched pair?
2- In your own words give me your definition of POST?
3- In your own words give me your exact detailed rendition of what happens when you try to post with dual setup. (How far do you get? Where does it hang up?)
4- Can you access your BIOS if booting with only one memory stick? If so, this is only for testing purposes, set your memory as 2.5,3,3,8, and 2T and add 0.05 volts to both your CPU and memory recommended voltages. Save, exit, and then shut down your system. Re-install the second stick of RAM in a proper dual channel slot. Re-boot and see what happens. If successful posting and booting in dual channel with this BIOS config go back to your BIOS and tighten your board and memory timings one at a time until you ID the perfect BIOS config for your CPU and RAM. Do the same with your CPU & RAM voltages.
AMD CPUs encompass their own memory control devices. There might just be enough variance between your older & newer AMD chips to reject dual configuration. If this is the case you may be able to correct it by using step for above. If this does not work, you sould borrow some suitable and proven dual channel memory sticks from a friend to see if the will work in your rig as dual channel?
Just keep on trucking & you'll solve it

Is it possible to run 3 DIMMs with Dual Channel on K7N2-Delta-L?

I was wondering whether it is possible to run Dual Channel with all 3 slots.
I noticed the manual said Dual Channel is only enabled when running 1/3, or 2/3.
However, friends with Asus and Abit boards of similar design (nForce 2 400 with 3 DIMM slots) told me they can run Dual Channel with DIMMs in all three slots.
Has anyone tried something like this with the K7N2 Delta-L?

Power: CompUSA 500W Specs

-5V = 0.6A
-12V = 0.6A
+5Vsb= 2A
Total 500W
the 3.3v rail is terrible.
i have 20 amps on the 3.3v rail and i have a generic 300w psu.
time to buy a new one and make that a antec enermax or any other good psu.
drop a post here if you want any advise on which psu you should buy
3.3v 25a
5v 35a
12v 16a
something like this is minimum of what you should have.
500w does not mean anything when looking at a psu.
an enermax 350w has almost twice the power output as a q-tec 550w.

Problem with dual channel memory (B75MA-P45)

Hello,
I can't make the dual channel memory working.
When I put DDR3 in slots 2 + 4 or slots 1 + 3 and even if all slots are installed with the same DIMM, it does not boot and restart in loop.
Currently, this mobo works with DDR3 in slots 1 + 2 (so without dual channel).
I have read posts about bent pins, therefore I inspected the CPU seating but nothing seems wrong.
My CPU has been recovered from a HP pavilion ; don't know whether it's important or not.
Hope someone has a tip for me.
My configuration:
Motherboard: B75MA-P45
CPU: i5-2320
Memory: tried several, finally tested 4 x 4GB Kingston PC3-10600 CL9 240 (KVR13N9S8/4)
Graphic card: Palit GeForce GTX-750 Ti

Thanks for your answers.
I'll try asap slots 3 & 4.
It's almost a new build (one month ago). The whole story is:
I bought the motherboard and two memory sticks of 2 and 4 GB DDR3 as I already had similar ones on my HP pavilion (but not exactly the same, not same brand). I expected to run on 12 GB dual channel memory. But the dual channel did not work at first try. After some additionnal testing, I tought it was because the sticks aren't compatible ones with others. So I purchased 3 sticks of Kingston 4 GB, exactly the same reference as one I already have.
Now, I'm pretty sure that this problem isn't related to memory sticks.
I already did a clear CMOS during installation for other reason but it didn't solve this problem.
Since, this PC works well with Win7. I tested it under considerable stress and it runs just fine.

P45 Platinum - Problem with Dual Channel

Hi,
As Topic says I have a problem with my new board, it gets stuck at checking memory (that is what the status-led shows) it's a rev 1.1 and had it replaced once before for the same problem, so I think it's a Software-problem..... I have 2x2GB "Crucial Ballistix Union Jack CL4"-kit it works fine in single channel (DIMM 1&2) but not in dual channel (DIMM 1&3) so if someone knows PLEASE help me with the problem...
Sorry for my English , English is my 3rd language
Anyway Thanking everyone that replies with an answer that is OnT....
EDIT: Bios is V1.0 forgot to write it in the post...
CPU Intel E4600
RAM Crucial BallistiX CL4 Union Jack 2x2GB

Question:
The first time you took the board in did they replace it on the spot or did you have to wait for a few days?
If I may ask where did you purchase the board?
they tested it, bought it online so it took some days for the package to go and return. They also tested the board.
Quote from: Alex.Ethuba on 06-August-09, 02:27:46
When did you buy the board?
Bought it last month, and the board is new I think because I forgot to return the bracket(got one in the replacement) and the box isn't teared like the one I turned in ...

K8N Diamond - dual channel DDR in 4slots

Hi everybody.
That`s my first post here and It would be great if you guys could help me. I recently have searched the forum for an answer but i couldn`t found any.
I have MSI K8N Diamond main board and i recently added
Kingston ValueRAM 2x512MB 184Pin DIMM PC3200 DDRRAM Non-Parity CL3.
How can I make it work in dual channel mode with other two DIMMs. All four slots are full now - Before i put two DIMMs in first and third slot second and fourth slot was empty and it works fine.
All 4 DIMMs are the same.
Should I increase voltage somewhere in BIOS?
That`s the direct link to dabs.com where i bought this memory
http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=2NDK
I`ve got ATHLON 64 3700+
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks qyx.
Timing was set up at 2T. I increase voltage to 2.7V and restarted computer. It was still Single Channel Mode...maybe because i didn`t switch it off. Then I switched off the computer and swap the modules in slots. 1st and 2nd ban kwith old ones and 3rd, 4th bank with new ones. Now it`s in dual channel mode. I`m confused because i don`t know what changes made them work in dual channel mode-my fault.....but it works fine....thanks a lot.
Bas, memory works at 200Mhz...befoure i bought other two dimms i didn`t know that it will affects the speed
Need to learn more about all that "complicated equipment"
Thanks again.

Monitoring with dual-channel i/o modules.

how can I read datas from a dual-channel i/o modules?
i have the FP-DI-DC, FP--DI-AC120, FP-DI-AC240 discret input modules, but their values are bolean. i need reading the input signals from my LabVIEW program, but now i only can read the bolean values. how can I read the input signals intead of reading the bolean values?

Omar,
What sort of data do you want from the input signals?
The dual channel modules that you have chosen are all Discrete input modules, thus they tell you when the input voltage is above or below some threshold value. That means that they tell you if the channel is ON or OFF, which is best represented as a boolean value. If you want to know what the voltage is, you need to use Analog Input type modules, which digitize the value of a signal.

Aaron

Gaming 3 motherboard not working with dual channel ram

Hello,
Whenever I try to put the RAM in dual channel (slots 1/3 or 2/4) in the motherboard Gaming 3 (z97), the motherboard stops working, and starts a loop of getting power for two seconds, and turning off again.. untill I kill the mains.
This doesn't happen when the Ram is in single channel (slots 1 and 2)
The ram is Corsair Value select 4 GB x2
My specs are:
Intel i5-4690k
Nvidia Gtx 750 Ti
MSI Gaming 3 motherboard
Corsair Value select 4 GB x 2
Samsung Evo 128 GB SSD
The bios version is 2.3
Any help would be great. Is it a motherboard specific problem? Or voltage issues?

Hi,
can you refer to manual and check which DIMM slots are default? As far as I know, they're 1 and 3.
Test each RAM stick individually, by going from DIMM #1 until #4. Working fine? Test the other same way. Also look around CPU socket and RAM slots for any scratches or other unusual stand offs. Also try to lower RAM down to 1333 and try again.

GNB Max MS-6565 and Dual Channel DDR ram

What's the deal with this new type of memory?
I can only find bits and pieces of information from online retail stores and I am bit frustrated.
Does anyone know where I can find more information?
Cheers

Ok, you said that the MSI board cannot be overclocked. Fair enough, I guess you have tried it yourself.
If you increase the fsb speed to 170MHz, why not decrease the multiplier?
170MHz * 14 = 2.4 (2.38)
instead of,
170MHz * 18 = 3.06
Also, do you know whether the mainboards that you mentioned (by Asus and Gigabyte) will allow me to increase the fsb speed to 200MHz?
vaporas
The multiplyer cant be changed on the P4's, unless u have an engineering sample, and theres no way we [general public] could get one. Plus raising the FSB on the MSI board IS the problem, it scales the AGP/PCI with it, and doesnt allow u to increase the voltage for AGP and Mem. With the FSB on the asus and gigabyte, it'll be more CPU limited untill you get to about 210MHz, but I think you should be able to easily clear 170 FSB, if not 180FSB before anything becomes limiting...

Dual Channel memory problems on Neo 875P

I am having considerable trouble getting the NEO 875P to work with dual channel DDR400 DIMMs. I have two Kingston KVR400X64C25 DDR400 256MB memory modules, each of which works correctly by itself. However, once I move one
of the modules to channel B, I cannot boot my operating system (currently Windows XP.) The problem also occurs in Windows 2000, which I also have on the system. I receive blue screen errors that indicate paging/memory problems. I have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (1.3)* in the hope that it would solve my problems, but it has not. The POST screen detects that there is 512MB of memory working in Dual Channel mode, but even when it does get through the O/S booting process (rarely), it crashes within minutes. Putting just one of the chips in makes the system perfectly stable. If anyone has any information, please let me know!
Thanks,
Jim Keller

* My board was dead after trying to flash the 1.3 BIOS, but after about 10 attempts of using CTRL+HOME method to recover the BIOS, it finally worked with version 1.0. I then re-flashed with 1.3, and it rebooted fine. Are there any updates about all of the problems with v1.3 ?

>I can only answer based on what I've read on this forum
I figured as much, I was just wondering if you knew whether MSI themselves frequents the forums or answers emails sufficiently.
I've had an interesting development though. I stumbled upon Tom's Hardware Guide's article about 875P motherboards at http://www17.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030519/i875p-01.html
They mentioned that they needed to increase the memory voltage from 2.5 to 2.6 in the BIOS to get some memory modules to work. I did this, and for the first time, I am running in Dual channel DDR mode. However, the article also mentions that "the system does not run completely stably", so I guess I'll have to wait and see if it crashes again. However, I'm far enough beyond the XP splash screen to post this message, so I guess we're getting somewhere!

K8t Neo2 won't run dual channel with Opteron 165

Hi,
I have a K8t Neo 2, and was running a Newcastle 3500+ on it, with 2x1GB PC3200 memory sticks (Buffalo memory) in dual channel mode (ie DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 populated) without any problems. I replaced the 3500+ with a new Opteron 165, and the system would not post. One of the red lights on the D-bracket was red, the rest were out.
To troubleshoot, I removed one of the memory sticks, and the system booted fine. I then put the 2nd memory stick in a non-dual channel setup (DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 populated), and it booted fine. If I try booting the system with the RAM in any dual channel enabled configuration, it will not post. I verified that it isn't a RAM issue, because I have 2 sticks of 512 MB ShikaXRam, which has always worked fine, and I got the same behavior as I got with the Buffalo RAM. I have tried changing the RAM clocking in the BIOS, and that also doesn't help, because it seems it reads the speed automatically no matter what you set the DRAM clocking page to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this board not Opteron 165 compatible with dual channel memory?

Alright, I tried all of the steps mentioned, setting optimized defaults, even tried changing all memory timings to the most conservative available. The only way the system will boot with 2 DIMMs installed is if they are in the two slots furthest from the CPU. It will also post with 3 DIMMs installed in any configuration.
I also have a generic 500 w PSU that is rated 32a on the 12v rail that I tried quickly plugging in (just plugged the 2 PSU connectors to the motherboard without hooking any of the IDE devices to it) It still exhibits the same behaviour. With no hard drives, optical drives, etc plugged in, wouldn't that pretty much eliminate the PSU as an issue?
I don't want to just spend $100 on a new PSU if it's highly unlikely to be the issue. Does this sound like something I'd need to replace the motherboard to fix? Is the performance difference between dual channel and single channel enough to even warrant buying a new board? The reason I want to avoid replacing the board right now is because I still have an AGP card, and don't want to replace it right now as well as the board, and getting another AGP based board seems to be stupid. Also, AGP boards are really hard to find now, and most of them available locally run on the ULi chipset
