I just purchased a set of G.Skill memory for an older system and I am having problems getting the system to run at the settings it had before I installed the new G.Skill.
Model of the motherboard:Gigabyte GA-8INXP Intel socket 478
Model of the memory:F1-3200PHU2-2GBNS
Model of the CPU:Intel P4 2.66GHz (20 x 133fsb)
This motherboard has 4 dimm slots that support up to 4GB memory. The memory I replaced was a total of 1GB, which was 4 256MB sticks of PC-3200 DDR400 Low Latency 2-2-2-5 memory. I ran a mild overclock of 3GHz (150fsb, up from the stock 133) for several years with no issues. I wanted to up my memory to 2GB and purchased the G.Skill.
The problem is that the G.Skill will not run at the 150fsb setting. It will not boot into Windows XP at that setting and I have to go back into bios to change back to 133 to get it to work. CPU-Z states that the timings on the G.Skill at the 133fsb speed are 2.5-2-2-5. This memory should easily do a 150fsb as it is rated to do 200MHz fsb at 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.7v I ran Memtest on each stick and as a set and came back with no errors. Any thoughts on what I can do? I don't want to return the memory, but I need it to do the 150fsb.
