Hello everybody,
I have just installed my first set of G-Skill ram: F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK and hope I can find some assistance on the proper settings I should use.
The ram is installed on an ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe board (it is listed on the boards QVL list) along with an AMD Phenom II 955 CPU and seems ok within windows 7 but on trying some tests I keep getting errors (several with memtest and prime95 aborts as well). Now this model board accepts EPP profiles via its 'SLI memory' setting but on checking with CPU-Z I can see the EPP profile for the ram states a TRC of 48, but the automatic setting the board applies is just 17.
Thinking that setting might be the cause of the errors I have manually changed to TRC to the maximum the board allows (42) but still find I am getting those errors within memtest and other testing tools.
At the moment this is not presenting an issue as Windows seems stable enough (encoded a large media file ok) but I would greatly appreciate any advice on what settings I should be trying as I don't think it would be wise for me to ignore the errors I have seen lightly.
My thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can give.
