Razo Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Ok... my p4 2.4 fsb is at 285 and it's gonna stay there. I just got some mushkin level ii pc3500 (and i'm not that impressed). Problem is, only one of the sticks will run with the 5:4 multiplier at this speed. The crap stick won't even do pc3500 like it's supposed to. Memtest gives me errors up the wazoo and I can't even boot into Windows. I RMA'd the damn thing, but I swear they just sent the same stick back. So here's my dilemma... should I A) keep the crappy mushkin ram and just run it at a 3:2 multiplier, making the ram run at 189 mhz, BUT with 2-2-2-5 timings OR B) go crying back to OCZ and get 226 mhz at 2.5-4-4-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seethru Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 if it isn't running at what it's rated for then take it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazgul Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Yeah... if you didn't get what you PAYED for... then return it. Look into getting some Corsair or something instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC3500 Operates at 434MHz. You're trying to run it at.. ~ 452MHz. Gee nowonder it doesn't even work.. :rolleyes: Are you evening following the FSB Chart?
