yeah, the OP is a moron, but just a note for overclockers, this hyperx is not overclockable, and indeed it's not the superfast 2-2-2-5 tccd memory, but rather it's 2.5-3-3-7 ch5 which is not that fast, and not overclockable at all. You can tell by the product number - if it ends with 3200 or 3200A, then it's the slow hyperx (like here). The good one ends with 3200UL. If you're running stock 400 mhz. then it's ok, but you can probably find 2.5 CL modules for cheaper.
You guys can ignore the person above. I have no clue what he is talking about. The advertised specs are 400MHz (PC3200) 2-3-2-6-1 (CAS Latency 2).
Maybe he is talking about value ram or something. Makes him the moron right?
It's 2-3-2-6 only at DDR333. It's 2.5.-3-3-6 at DDR400. I know because I bought it from outpost. [that is, trikat==moron]
Well that sucks for you. Your ram didn't go at advertised specs. I would recommend u to take advantage of the warranty moron.
If they advertised it at 2-3-2 cas 2 then it should go at that speed. Heck a lot of people are getting lower timings than your defective ram. Read around. The internet is a free source for information.
Also maybe your motherboard sucks and won't go at lower timings. Could it also be you left it on auto detect? Seeing that you are a "golden member" I am assuming the facts are ur ram are defective or ur motherboard sucks.
My Mobo sucks and auto detects the ram at 2.5 3-3-3. I'm pretty sure it can get lower timings if I wanted to OC, but I only used my friends hyperx to test. My mobo is having trouble and I wanted to see if ram was the fault. He gets low settings, but ofcourse not up to par with OCZ, Ballistix, Corsair etc.
Wow i'm rambling my bad.
