I brought 2gb Corsair Xms2's pc5400 with supposed timings of 4-4-4-12. When i botted up my comp with it, it said it was running at 266MHz. I ran cpu-z and it said the same. But when i checked looked closer it said (cpu-z) if it runs at 333mhz it will default to 5-5-5-12 timings!! That not what Corsair have said. But heck i'm not that fussed anyway. I rebooted my comp, went into the bios and changed it to 333mhz, true to cpu-z it defaulted to 5-5-5-12 timings. Everything was going fine, then my computer kept restarting after a few minutes and now i was getting annoyed. :mad: I even tried manually changing the timings to 4-4-4-12, but still no look. I changed my ram back down to 266mhz and everythings going fine.

Is there anything i can do? I got the ram about 3 weeks ago. I'm just annoyed because not only doesn't the ram run at the 4-4-4-12 timings it's supposed to, it can't even run stable at the correct speed!!
 
In my bios i have normal, auto, high or ultra high settings. It's on auto at the moment and i've tried it on high with no joy. Shall i try ultra?

Use manual settings and set vdimm to 1.9V and the timings to 4-4-4-12. Don't use the automatic overclocking stuff.
 
I have the same Corsair XMS2 RAM, I have it running @ 4-4-4-12, I think my BIOS has the voltage set to 1.8v, it hasn't caused any problems at all :confused:
