Hey guys. I'm getting errors in superpi.
My system isn't overclocked at all. I ran memtest all night without errors. (Bios -std mode)
But when i change to BIOS-all, it gives a crapload of errors and crashes the app.

On superpi, i'm getting errors such as 'Not convergent in SQR05' and 'Not exact in round'..

What can be the problem?
 
Super PI errors usually point to the ram. I had that error a couple of times when running a set of bad OCZ platinum, I RMA'ed it and now everything is super stable.
 
Depending on what RAM you have, you might need to up your VDimm a little higher even at stock speeds.
 
So it's almost definitely not cpu or motherboard?

Just ran prime95.. errors =(


FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
Torture Test ran 3 minutes - 1 errors, 0 warnings.
Execution halted.

What should I do =( (btw my mem timings are 2-2-2-5-1T)

I just upgraded all my parts and it really frustrates me that it's this unstable.
Thanks.
 
Try loosening the timings...2-2-2-5 is pretty tight on your memory :).
 
2-2-2-5 is what that ram is rated for. I use XLPT at 2-2-2-5 1T on another system of mine and have no problems.

Try taking out one of the sticks of ram, test each stick individually.
 
I'll bet you need to up the voltage. Most 2-2-2 stuff needs at least 2.7V to run right.
 
I should up the voltage even though I'm not overclocking?

If so should I up the cpu and chipset voltages too?
 
Not at stock speeds you shouldn't have to up CPU/chipset voltage. Most VDimm is set at stock 2.5V-2.6V...might need a little boost or run 2.5-3-3
 
yeah even on their specifications it says 2.75v. hmm.
What utilities are there to check the voltage on the ram?

Thanks you guys. I don't know what I'll do without [h] ^^
 
Probably Everest would give you that info somewhere...just check it in bios :).
 
I upped the voltage to 2.75.
Running prime95 as we speak. Before it gave the error within 3 minutes. But now, it's still running. (it's been for the past 10 minutes or so) So that's a good sign. ^^

How long should a superpi 32m test take? I ran it before I tried running prime95 and it seemed like it froze. Not totally sure though.

Also, would having the vdimm at 2.75 void the warranty? Even though that's the voltage specified by the manufacturer?

Thanks
 
I don't think you'd void the warranty running at the voltage they say to. If you still get errors (I don't think you will), I would even run up to 2.85V or so.

SuperPi32M is in the half hour to 45 minute range depending on your setup.
 
Prime95 is still running. ^^ So far so good.

Why is it that the mobo sets it at a lower vdimm? =/
Maybe this is why I've been getting a bunch of memory_management, and pagefile bsod errors since the setup.

Hope the issue is resolved. Will post if (knock on wood) something goes wrong.

Thanks so much kirbyrj, you might just have saved me the trouble of rma. :)
 
Just finished running superpi32m (29 minutes).
phew, I guess everything is fine. ^^

Thanks for the help.
