 |
|
Crucial says the correct memory is 2.2v but Gigabyte says 1.8v. Do I
take Crucial's word for it? Does this have something to do with the
issue I've read about where one has to initially boot the memory with
1.8v memory, then increase the voltage in the bios, then install the
2.2v memory?
In short, can I use this memory or not? MWave has a good price on two
1gb sticks (DDR2 800).
Thanks,
Joel |

You can bump up the voltage in the BIOS to match the settings Crucial allows
(CL4 maybe?).

run at corsair advertised latencies and voltage
For example, Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 would be manually set to
(4-4-4-12) at 2.2v under the advanced option screen in the bios. Default
latencies will probably be (5-5-5-18) but you will still need to
increase the voltage to 2.2.
