OCZ and Gigabyte S3

Necopotence, I thought we had solved the issue? You have to insert RAM which requires 1.8v, bump it up to the required voltage of the OCZ RAM, then insert the OCZ RAM.

Yes, the problem is now solved I hope. I posted this before you responded to my post in the Mobo section. I was reposting in the Memory section where it was more appropiate. I personally don't have the ram I need to up the voltage myself and the computer reapir guy isn't working with me on this.

Hmm, have you told him that he needs to up the voltage 1.9v? He can turn it straight off as soon as he bumps up the voltage...

He's not much of a repair guy if he doesn't know how to up the voltage/doesn't want to...

However, why don't you buy a cheap $20 stick off eBay? You'll need one for the future, wont ya...?
 
Or you can have the repair guy update the BIOS to F3 or F4 and it will boot the RAM at 1.8v. I have the same board and RAM, I just borrowed some cheap DDR2 to boot with and update then put in the OCz stuff.

No, the original one has problems with certain types of ICs. That's why only certain brands have problems.
 
i must look stupid now.. but,

THe old Bios has problems with certain types of IC's.. how can putting up the voltage by 0.1V help with that? ( without flashing the bios )
I mean... if the BIOS has trouble with hardware.. the only option you have is either change the hardware, or update the bios,.. isnt it?
 
Increasing the voltage doesn't always fix it. And with certain DIMMs people maked out the voltage without success. As far as I can tell it's kind of like how increasing the voltage can make an overlclock more stable.
