Ram voltage problem

okay, I finally got up enough gumption to do the wire trick to unlock my 2400+. That being done, I pushed the fsb up to 180 (With kingston 2700 valueram) with moderate stability.
Jedi knight 2 is a really oc sensitive game, so I cant play it at 180. My question is, why the heck can I not adjust the ram voltage. Every time I try to set it to 2.7, it defaults back to 2.6. No matter what I do.

Welcome to your bios. Hopefully MSI will change this - it's a drag. But for now, there's nothing you can do - I think.

K7T Turbo2 low RAM voltage problem?

Hello
I just purchased a K7T Turbo2 6330v5 mainboard.
I have a standard singlesided 256Mb/PC133 RAM module.
I installed FuzzyLogic 4 and it shows a RAM voltage of 2.5V,while I thought all PC133 chips needed 3.3V.........
I have a fresh Win98SE install and the computer keeps freezing up,usually happens either when it enters Windows or after about 15 minutes and I have a couple of programs running.
The BIOS shows 3.46V on the 3.3V supply.
All voltages are within range in the BIOS.
any help appreciated
?(

Problem seems to be solved,and it wasn't the RAM voltage.
The onboard audio and/or drivers for that was causing the problem.

WEIRD RAM Voltage Problem. Really happy for some help =)

Hi I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard with BIOS version 1.4.
I have a wonderfull set of OCZ PC-3200 Platinum rev.2 RAM that preferably should have atleast 2.75 V. They do work with less, but stability can suffer in some cases.
My problem is that if I choose 2.75, 2.8 or 2.85 V in BIOS I still end up with 2.7 in Windows. Only by increasing the voltage in windows with, for example, Corecenter can I reach a voltage over 2.7. Why do I have this problem? Is there any simple way to fix it?
I mean, I think that if the MB was broken in any way (hardware wise) so shouldn't it be possible to change the voltage through windows (the voltages are correct BTW and the MB show no other signs of error except this).
Is this a know bug in any way for the MB or the 1.4 BIOS version? And as said before, do anyone know how to fix it?
Lots of thanks to anyone that can help (this problem is really making me confused).
Edit: one more question while Im at it. As many others I have freezing problems with my 6800 ultra. Is there any trick/BIOS that solves this (I know disable AGP fastwrites... helps and disable NV/Ati speed up... but except that).

The bug is most likely corecenter. It seems to report things wrong for most people. Try using speedfan or similar program to verify voltage before you get too concerned. Just dont use mbm 5, people have reported problems there as well. You can get speedfan at www.guru3d.com.

MOVED: MSI P35 NEO2 FIS voltage problems!!

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120804.0

same problem with the Neo2 FR (like mine). After quite of bit of researching and testing i reckon that software can not correctly read the vRAM on these MSI boards. I found that Speedfan, Everest, and HardwareMonitor all gave an incorrect reading for my RAM's voltage. Also, if i increased the cpu voltage in the BIOS then the voltage monitoring programs would show an increase in CPU voltage and RAM voltage (even though i had not changed the latter).

MSI P35 NEO2 FIR voltage problems!!

Let's start:
I have MSI P35 NEO2 FIR ,e5200,2 x Geil ultra plus 1066+,as us 2900CT,lcpower 6550g and...rest- not so important for my questions.
1.My problem is next: default voltage values for my RAM is ~2.2-2.4 every time I check in windows (speedfun,sisoft Sandra, everest..)shows me 2.0 or some time even 1.8v . When i change voltage in bios and went to win voltage on RAM is still unchanged (2.0v) .
Same thing happen with NB voltage. But CPU voltage I can change freely with no problem.
When I change fsb(try to overclock) suddenly memory voltage rises how i do not now , but only to 2.35 and no more.
Can anyone help me fix this problem because my memory is not stable at 2.0 or 1.8 sometimes and system crashes?
2.When i change cpu settings from 12.5*200 to (example)10*300 in windows even in system properties see that my current clock is 12.5*300=3750 and not 10*300=3000 like it should be .
Is it bios problem?
My bios version is 1.9.
Thanks!

K8N NEO FSR MS7030 & ram upgrade problem

Hello all, i am new here and sorry in advance for my not so bad english.
Last week i bought 1gb of DDR400 PC3200 of ram, before that i had only 2 x 512 DDR400 PC3200 of ram, and everything was running fine since june 2005.
But voila, i wanted 2Gb to be able to play battlefield2 at 1280x1024 with all settings on high, so i bought this 1Gb module, it is the same "brand" , LDLC, but i know for sure they are not manufacturing it themselves, but the SPD reports the same settings for the 3 modules, 2.5-3-3-8.
The problem is that i experiment strange "lags" in battlefield2, strange because i have 70FPS average, but the gameplay is choppy, for exemple if i turn around fastly, the game freezes for microseconds but its very annoying, other than that, i get random errors in other games or programs, like cs source, firefox, winamp, photoshop, star wars battlefront2 etc...
I tested the 1Gb module alone one full night with memtest86 on a boot cd and it reported no errors.
I know my PSU could be a little short, but when i remove the 1Gb module, everything runs fine like it always did.
Do you think i should raise the mem voltage ? or do you think that voltage rail for the mem is too short with this PSU ?
Maybe i should buy a better PSU...
The thing is all 3 mem modules are double sided (not sure of that, is single sided mem module completely empty on one side ?), and if i take a look at the MSI recommandations, its not recommanded to put 3 Double at 400mhz, but when i reduce the mem frequency from 200 to 166, its all the same, i get the same errors, and the gameplay in battlefield is still unplayable, however MSI recommands putting 3 double only at 333mhz...
I don't know what to think.
Any help will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes i have 4 usb 2.0 devices connected full time, logitech mx510 mouse, keyboard ideazon zboard, netgear dg632 modem/router(its own power source) and a dual analog 3 thrustmaster gaming pad, do you think this can be a potential PSU sucker ?
Also i did the changes over the ram voltage and the timings(2,65 and 2,5-5-5-8 2T), but the lags where still in battlefield2, and i played ~30min of prince of persia : warrior within and i got 2 errors(back to desktop).
Did you see the MSI recommandations for ram settings with this mbd ? They say you can't put 3 double sided modules at 400mhz, only at 333mhz, maybe this is why when i load the failsafe settings in the bios the ram is automatically at 166-333 ? what do you think of that. But the strange thing is that even at 333mhz there is still errors and choppy gameplay in bf2.
I know my PSU looks short, but without this 1Gb module, everything runs fine, do you think this module only can mess up the PSU ?
I bought the 6800 GS AGP one month ago and i didnt think my PSU could handle it but it did

P6N Sli-Fi cannot up RAM voltage?

Hi All.
I've read through my motherboard manual and unless I'm missing something simple the BIOS will not allow me to change the memory voltage to anything above 1.8v. It stays set to AUTO. I can change the CPU voltage, but not RAM voltage. Is this because the Kingston Ram stick I have in it will not allow higher then 1.8v, or am I doing something wrong? I hit enter to select, nothing happens, I use the + and - simples and cannot adjust.
Basically I have some G.Skill ram that won't post and I just wanted to try to up the voltage to 1.9v and see if I could use my 2-1gb G.skill sticks before I RMA them for some Ram listed in the supported section. Figured it might be worth a shot to attempt to get this ram to work.

Hey there Spafra,
You probablyalready got your problem solved,but just in case...
g.Skill rates your DIMMs at 1.8 - 2.0v, so you are safe to up the voltage within that range(to include 2.0v). If they still fail to boot at he higher voltages, you can still RMA them through g.Skill. That is, if the mobo boots with the Kingston or other 1.8v DIMM.
I have different RAM, though they are rated 1.8-2.1v, the mobo booted them fine with the 'DRAM Voltage' set at 'auto' (actually, with no voltage specified in the field).
Boot to BIOS Setup with the Kingston ram, if necessary, set your voltage to whatever you decide on, make any other changes you like, then press <F10><ENTER> and when the screen goes black turn OFF the computer AT THE PSU. Unplug the power cord from the computer, as well as the 24pin ATX and 4/8 pin CPU Power connectors (per the manual), Change your RAM out for the g.skill, reconnect, and hit the 'START' button.
Hopefully it'll boot ok.
If not, you may have to disable 'Execute Bit Disable' in the >>Advanced settings >CPU feature > Execute Bit Disable [DISABLE] menu until you have a successful boot.

K9N Platinum Ram Voltage??!

Hello dudes!
Can someone tell me what ram voltage K9N Platinum is?!
O ill buy some memories, with 1.9 or 2.0v... and just wanna know what is ram voltage of this mobo...
i know asus m2n-e max is set to 1.95v... but dont know about K9N platinum...
So... if anyone can help me, i ll aprecciate..
tnkz a lot!
Ahhh... almost forget... is OCZ compatible with this mobo??!
Tnkz a lot!

I have the K9N Platinum motherboard aswell, and the standard DDR voltage is 1.80
OK, let me make it clear. there is no standard voltage on the mobos. the default voltage depends on the memory you are using. different memory modules will default at different voltages, as per the data that the manufacturer placed in their SPDs.
if you are talking about JEDEC default voltage for DDR2, then yes, it is 1.8V, with a maximum of 2.3V. you can read about timings and voltages for the JEDEC standard here:

RAM voltage readings with DMM vs. Software on X58 Pro-E

I almost fell over with shock when HWmonitor and Speedfan both reported my RAM voltage spiking over 3volts when running Prime95. When idling the voltage readings fall to about 0.6v and jump around during use.
I set my RAM voltage in BIOS to 1.5v but software doesn't report that voltage at all.
So I grabbed my DMM and measured the voltage on the Mobo directly and found that the voltage is in fact exactly 1.5v
How is it the software can show variations in voltage from 0.5 to 3.7 volts when it's ALWAYS 1.5v when measured directly from the board with a meter?
I measure from the silver tab (center leg) of what I'm sure is a kind of transistor or FET, which I know is v output.
How can I trust any of the other voltage readings then? Especially the CPU v.

Quote from: Jack on 14-July-11, 21:56:29
Neither one of these utilities is actually able to correctly monitor the actual memory voltage. Just ignore those readings. They are absolutely inaccurate no matter how you look at it (@3.7V you memory modules would probably simply vaporize and @0.6V your system would not be running anymore). These readings are IMPOSSIBLE readings.
Don't trust any memory related voltage readings that you get from third party software applications.
There you go.
That's what I figured, I wan't suspicious until my RAMv hit over 3.5v nearing 4v when stressing with Prime95, I couldn't understand how it was so high and still working.
I mean, all the voltage readings on speedfan show what look like normal values when I know full well they're not the ones I manually set in the BIOS. It's frustrating.
And yes they're all the latest releases and by BIOS is up to date with new firmware but NO my OS is still vista 64 SP1 with absolutely NO updates installed. Though I seriously doubt that'll change any voltage readings I get in speedfan.
I'm almost tempted to colder connections to all the voltage points on the Mobo for easy DMM connection. But I probably won't cos it's not worth the trouble.

RAM Preview Problems in After Effects CC

AE CS 6 RAM Previews work, but two problems to report with AE CC on the same computer. Possibly two faces of the same problem.
1. Having QuickTime Player open while doing a RAM preview makes the RAM preview stutter. I quit the player, and now the RAM preview plays back without dropping a frame, though Info palate shows "fps: 24 (realtime)", but the RAM preview playback is slow: ie, a tenor sounds like a baritone.
2. A RAM preview that looked and sounded fine last night, is now playing back slowly (tenor sounds like a baritone), though Info Palate shows "fps: 24 (realtime)". I have no other applications open. The only thing that changed is that I quit AE, slept the computer, slept a little myself, and then launched AE. Trashing the cache files (manually), rebooting, relaunching and re-RAM-previewing creates a functional RAM preview, so I assume there is some problem with the cached files or the retrieval of them.
Is anyone else getting either of these? If so, what is your system configuration?
Also, I posted on another thread that Quicktime import/render works with AE CS6 on this computer, but AE CC can not import, play, or render QT reliably (without throwing error messages). Perhaps all of this is part of the same problem.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Benjamin

96 GB RAM is accessible in 10.8.4 on my machine according to OWC. I'm working on a stereoscopic 4K project with large files and hundreds of layers. I regurlarly render with AE MP while working with huge files in PS, and am glad to see the % of RAM AE uses displayed in my render cue between 3 and 60%.
I have 12 processors (24 with hyperthreading)
I have reserved 10 for other applications leaving 14 for After Effects
4 GB per x 14 = 56 GB for AE. leaving 40 GB for everything else
I've played with what and how much I have allocated being sure to keep the CPU counts even, but this does not fix the RAM preview problems described above. Any other suggestions?

I got render and RAM preview problems. help?

i got render and RAM preview problems with after effects! please help me
when i started on a project earlier today the RAM preview was failing and it stoped making a preview after about a second, when i hit the RAM preview buttom again it continued to load and stoped again after a half second, and it continued to do that till it wasn't loading at all, just playing the same thing up even doe it haden't loaded the whole composition! BUT if i moved the (thing you see where you are on the timeline in need of a better name) it started loading a little more and then it stoped again.. so after alot of problems and moving i managed to make a RAM preview of the whole composition..
now the real problem: when i was done with my project and i was going to reender i did like this: i added my composition to the render queue, chosed my render settings and started to render, after exactly 37 frames it stoped and no window or anything poped up, the only thing that was telling me something was wrong was the render status, and it said: ''failed at 0;00;00;37'' that's not even a second! and BTW when i render after effects only uses 12% of my 6GB RAM memory.. i dont know what to do! i've tried other render settings but the same thing happens! can anyone help me?
BTW i'm swedish and only 14 so i might misspelled something..

Start here and make sure that you understand how RAM preview is supposed to work first:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/424030
What version of After Effects? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system? What kind(s) of source footage? Has this ever worked before? What other software are you running? Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Are you rendering with OpenGL?
What are your Memory & Multiprocessing settings? Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?

Macintosh Plus endless reboot (voltage problem?)

Hi all,
I bought a Macintosh Plus about an year ago: for the first months, everything was perfect, until something happened: the Mac continued rebooting. Thinking it was a dead PRAM battery, I ordered it from U.S. and replaced it, but the problem wasn't solved: I managed to know it was a voltage problem. So I tried to fix the 5v line on the hole on the right side (after checking the low voltage from the floppy drive port, in fact it was 4.5 instead of 5). The REAL problem is: the voltage hole fixes not only the 5v line, but also the 12v one, so when I bring the 5v to his normal state the 12v line becomes 13v if not more (Apple says it should be between 11.90 and 12.75). How can I fix the 5v line without "affecting" the 12v one? It's a bit complicated, but I would be glad to re-explain this a thousand times. Thank you all,
tommijazz91
P.S. PLEASE show your e-mail if you want pm: in the previous post I couldn't contact a user because of this! Thanks.

I have a few Plus machines, the power supply is fun to fix. There is a very good tutorial on how they work, pm me and I'll send you a copy.
Basically, the power supply is all linked so adjusting one rail (12V or 5V) changes them all, there is no separate adjustments possible. Also be aware the EHT on the CRT is derived from the 12V rail so turning up the 5V rail will also increase the very hight voltage on the screen which is not a good idea.
There may be a component failure on the power supply, I have repaired many, the doc I refer is superb.

CPU Voltage problem...anyone??

hey all, i'm not sure if i have a voltage problem here. should my cpu voltage be at 1.5? it currently runs at 1.35 by default. This is in my Neo4 Platinum board.
Update:
I went to increased the voltage to 1.4 via CPU VID (in bios) however, CPU-Z is showing my voltage as 1.3 which is lower than before. is this correct? Also, watching the voltage readout in CPU-Z i'm noticing the flucuation between 1.36 to 1.408 after setting my CPU VID to 1.4 in bios.. is that ok?
...anyone?
-free

Just using CoreCenter my 12v is a steady 12.14, 5v at 5.05, 3.3 at 3.33 but vcore which should be the steadiest runs between 1.37 and 1.42 with jumps or drops of up to .04. Prior to wed it never made it past 1.39 so maybe it will even itself out at 1.4 +- .02. My other MSI board a KT6V with a 2500 Barton runs a steady 1.63 with a cheaper PSU and a slight oc and the combined price of the 3 is around what I paid for the neo4 board. Maybe I'm expecting to much to think that if you pay more for something the quality should be better. (this might be old news but look at the class action suit against ABIT for using a defective capacitor on their boards http://www.abitsettlement.com )Quote from: Apple renegade on 18-February-05, 01:25:52
@home I have a good Volt meter. It cost me more then my mobo. So don't expect the world out the accuricy
Apple that is like comparing apples and oranges there is a big difference in a volt meter which has to handle a large range of voltages and amps and a dedicated chip on a motherboard. The CPU is designed so that at 1.4 volt and a given frequency it gives you a signal strength at the transistor that determines a 1 or 0 bit. "undervolt"only increases the chances of bad data if there is a weak transistor and raising the voltage is only needed if the signal strength drops from the increase in frequency.

Is there a utility that will show the actual ram voltage in Windows?

Sorry for the newbie question. ASUS had this utility that showed the actual ram voltage in windows. I don't think it'd work with an MSI motherboard. And I don't think any of the overclocking utilities show the actual ram voltage. The reason I asked was because the ASUS P5N-D overvolted my ram by .1 volts. If I set 2.2v in the BIOS, it would overvolt the ram to 2.3v. That's not exactly the greatest thing. I just wanted to check if my brand spanking new P7N Diamond is doing the ram voltage accurately. It should be right? Oh and I have cheapo Patriot memory ram. It's rated at 2.2 volts. Seems like all PC2 6400 ram is rated at 2.2 volts these days though. Maybe a 2.1v somewhere but that's becoming more and more rare. Thanks.

yeah... LOL. Everest shows what you've set it to. I can just look in the BIOS or just like remember 2 seconds into the past. :-P I guess there isn't something for that. Just as I thought. I wonder if I can trick the ASUS utility into thinking that I'm running an ASUS board. :-P Probably wouldn't work right anyway though.

Lenovo G40 ~ 70 ram upgrade problem

I bought a lenovo G40 ~ 70 laptop and I wanted to upgrade my ram.It contains 4gb ram and I wanted to upgrade it to 8gb .What type of ram card should I buy and after the upgrade will my computer have problems? thank you.

Hi Ayato,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are looking for RAM upgrade for your Lenovo G40-70 laptop.
As per the specification of this model , the maximum memory supported by this model is upto 16GB DDR3L 1600Mhz.Hence I would suggest you to look into DDR3L RAM as the RAM slots in the laptop will only support the same. And "L" in DDR3L refers to low voltage.
Click here for the model specification.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
Best regards,
Ashwin. S
