Hey Ben,
RAM was delivered literally 15 min after I posted this...so here is the result.

I left everything as is. Added the new RAM to the open DIMMs, turned it on, checked the BIOS to see if all...

@Ben
I ordered the PSD38G1600KH RAM. Would you mind advising me on setup and settings? Would you put the newer RAM 2x4GB in the primary DIMM slots then add the older PGS34G1600ELKA 2x2GB after or...

OK. I'll give it a go. 8GB will be enough...but more...12gb...would be sweet, especially for running the more demanding VMs I have. lol

Hello all,
Have a Gigabyte GA-MA790GPT-UD3H board and at the time the recommended Patriot memory product was PGS34G1600ELKA. HOWEVER, I have only been able to get it to run stable by setting the...

I have to add my 2 cents.

I would definitely like to see Patriot offering FW upgrades, if technically possible, for the SSD drives when Sandforce releases new SSD FW goodness. lol

I am a loyal...

OK. I will tinker a bit and see. Figured to stop by here and ask first to save myself grief.

For the record, and this goes for many other friends experiences and work I have done for clients...you...

Consider reading through this thread. It will probably hit on your issue since it is similar in a general way.

To BEN,

1 quickie question -
What are the best timings and voltage settings I can get on this RAM for running them at 1333 speed. All the info from the beginning of this thread is still...

Looks like we might have to go outside the box here, as you may have a very unique situation (trust me, I have had clients with unique situations where one dumb tiny thing fixed it all but it would...

OK. You got a bit closer. lol

DO NOT get me started on how screwy SLEEP MODE and HIBERNATE can be. They can cause a whole host of problems completely separate from any problems you may be having....

Typically, (IF you did not install AHCI initially but went with the default IDE setup) with mechanical SATA drives, the process is to do the AHCI registry hack, then reboot, go into the BIOS, change...

OK. That is what I had in mind but was not sure if there were diff. timings recommended - like 5-5-5-18 or 5-7-7-18...you know...something more loose. I have changed around a lot of my hardware but I...

My basic question is this -
What would be the best settings for me to use if I want to go from 4gb of RAM to 8GB?

I have an MSI DKA790GX motherboard, AMD Phenom II 940 running Windows 7 64 bit...

OK.

Reset the motherboard to defaults, then I used your settings except
Precharge Time - 3T - was not possible. I could only go as low as 4T.



Ran under Memtest 4.00 for 4 passes. No...

The label on the RAM says the timings are 7-7-7-24 2T @ 1.7v

You say different. Which should I choose/USE? lol

If the label is wrong, that would explain why I cannot get the those timings no...

Any help....? Moderators? I have been missed! :p

I bought the suggested modules - PGS34G1600ELKA 2x2gb...a total of 2 modules 4GB.

I tried the default settings of the motherboard but it sees it as 1066. The default voltage of the Gigabyte...

Thank you. I had my eyes on that pair as well. Ordered it and it is on it's way.

Read lots of reviews and others rave about that pair and how well it works on AM3 and 700 series chipset boards.

You have it wrong again dude. You are running OLD BIOS. That BIOS I pointed you to just adds support for a newer Sempron. (The AMD Sempron 140 Sargas 2.7GHz released in August) It does not mean you...

No, I have the TA790GX 128M 5.x running BIOS verison 78DEA804.BST

Check here...http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/t-series/bios.php?S_ID=377

You have it wrong with how RAM works. It is long and...

Busy painting and doing house repairs today (no NFL fun for me!!!) but quickly...I am running the latest BIOS - 78DEA804.BST


here is what I would suggest when working with RAM of ANY brand.

I have this exact same ram and motherboard setup and almost the same CPU but mine is a 9950 BE.

All I did was set the timings. No offense to anyone but it ALMOST ALWAYS comes down to knowing how...

I am building a new GAMING system so performance counts to me.

I am a loyal Patriot purchaser coming back for more! lol

PS -
Let me be clear...my setup is the same but I have 2 identical kits of patriot Viper PVS24G8500ELKR2. So 2 kits of 2 x 2GB for a total of 8. Everything is running sweet at 2.1 volts. I upped it...

I have the exact same setup and mine runs fine.

I cleared the CMOS, added one stick, set the settings manually and put my voltage at 2.05. It also works for 2.1 as well, I just hate to push mobo...
