I just got this ram today.I set everything in the bios prior to install including Timings(2-3-2-5),voltage (1.7),and fsb@200.I powered up the system(Soltek 75FRN2-L) and nothing happened. So I reset cmos it booted up @100 FSB no problem.Woohoo.!! So I then set the timings to 2.5-3-3-6 @200 FSB and it worked..Hmmmmm I know that the specs on this ram state that it has been tested on NF2 boards the problem is that mine is an NF2 board ,,,LoL and an Ultra aswell...Go figure,It`s exactly what this ram is ment to run on and is why I purchased it. I have tried swapping sticks around,I bumped the voltage up to 2.8 and still cant get it to run at the advertised speeds.
My main question, is there any ram by Patriot that can run on this Mother board.??at least the advertised timings.?I cant help but feel I paid for something I didnt get.
This is my first experience with Patriot ram and even though it wasnt so pleasant I am willing to try something a little more compatible.What do you recommend?
