[SOLVED] [Huge mistake, DDR2 Voltage mismatch]

[Kesho]

Hello, 

I wanted to upgrade my Potato PC a little bit by adding another 2x2GB sticks of RAM. well i pick same capacity, same frequency but.. after plugin it all in system won't boot.
I google it and found that additional memmory I just bought is mismached (it was used one, so can't really return it ;( )

What I got now:

2x2GB OCZ 
 

Series

Platinum Revision 2

Model

OCZ2P800R22GK

Speed

DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Cas Latency

4

Timing

4-4-4-15

Voltage

1.9V - 2.1V

2x2GB GoodRam

Model

GR800D264L6/2G

Speed

DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Cas Latency

6

Timing (not sure)

6-8-8-22

Voltage

1.8V

 

Well what I can see now, that event if I will be able to run thoose two It will be slower than my OCZ setup - but really need it to work out.

What should I setup and where to begin.

Thanks a lot,
Kesho

What motherboard are you using?

And can you please be more specific in your question?

[Kesho]

my mobo is Asus P5QPro 

well since my winodws 7 does not boot and bios is keep restarting I would love to set voltage, timigs in bios so I can run thoose 4 sticks

Anyone have idea in what configuration it might work?

Solution was:

- make sure ram sticks are in "paired motherboard socets"
- upgrade BIOS to : http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5Q_Pro/P5Q-ASUS-PRO_1613.zip?_ga=1.222990171.1169464917.1460796883 which " P5Q PRO BIOS  1613 Fixed if plug 8G memory and set "Memory Remap" as disable in BIOS, it cannot enter 64bit OS. " (Here have also problem because in bios asus update software did not see my usb (had to format it to FAT (not FAT32) before)

- set Voltage to 1.9V

Thanks
