evga NF41 RAM question

[mario64]

Hello,

I just purchased a 2GB kit of Kingston HyperX (KHX3200AK2/2G) RAM for my evga NF41. It is rated to run 2-3-2-6 1T at 2.6v. I set the timings in BIOS and, after experiencing memtest instability, upped the voltage to 2.75. I could then run memtest and prime95 for hours with no errors.

The problem is with World of Warcraft. I'm getting intermittent crashes to desktop with an error "selected memory location could not be read". I never got that error before installing the new RAM so it must be related.

Does the NF41 not support 1T RAM? If so, how much performance will I lose by changing to 2T?

Thanks,
mario64

try changing the timings to 2.5-3-3, 1T

command rate is more of a memory controller thing than a memory thing

The RAM is rated to run at CAS 2 with proper voltage so I don't want to cut back to 2.5. I'm thinking it has to do with command rate.

Is that board the matx NF4-SLI board eVGA made a while back? I've read a lot of people had problems with running at 1T.

It is yeah

if you're worried about performance, 2.5-3-3-6, 1T will be faster than 2-3-2-6, 2T

Ok thanks. I'll give it a try. I assume it would be slower than 2-3-2-6 1T though, correct?

a wee smidge, yes. remember, with 2T making the biggest difference, we're talking like 1-2% performance change in real world applications
