what kind of problems??

AFAIK TCCD works fine with AN8....Like mine last time....Unless if ur running dual channel and try rocketing sky high than i dont know if failure is the problem u mentioned??

Abit AN8 SLI will have no issues with XMS4400 TCCD RAMS. I've personally tested XMS3200XL TCCD RAMs on this mobo and managed to get a whopping 325MHz (DDR650) with it. And yes, it was running dual channel and prime stable!

But, it might be a lil' bit harder to reach higher speeds with 1Gb kit (mine was 512MB kit). Also, it depends on your processor..... since the memory controller is on the processor itself.

Although this mobo lacks drive strength, tref and a few more memory tweaking options via the BIOS, its just a matter of time when Abit releases a new BIOS with all the goodies. BIOS 18 and BIOS 19 has been the most stable so far, so you might wanna update the BIOS.

Bottom line; you should have no issues when running Corsair or Mushkin modules on this mobo. But, there seems to be some issue with OCZ BH5 RAMs with this mobo.

thanks for the helpful info guys....well now im running on default bios which is bios 15.....well the problem i encountered first was:

i set bios settings all on default...even dram settings as well. then install windows....BLUE SCREEN....then i change my ram timing to 2T....then i had no problems.....

after installing windows...i tried again to change it to 1T....ok...no problem for now. then i started to OC....well...i have no problems overclocking it to 250htt....but i have problem if i go higher then that....i will get blue screen or maybe super pi cannot pass.....

so im really wondering wats the problem....ive even increased the voltage upto 2.9v the max for tccd.....but still no changes.....same problem....

i used to use these rams b4 with my neo2platinum...n i manage to clock it at 310htt.....n now im wondering where have i gone wrong??

n btw...im using a single msi 6600gt diamond edition....how come it shows that my 6600gt is running on PCIex 8x.....instead of 16x???

the 1T only fix for some processor + ram combination. For me, it still 2T with my patriot while the Gskill tccd can do 1T. But this latest bios does improve my ram performance. now can do 1T up to 237. Last time only 220 smile.gif

well bro...but i was using these rams b4 with my venice n also my k8n neo2.....with default ram timings....i can hit 310htt x9 = 2.8ghz.....
n when i bought this ram again from gengstapo.....i cannot hit above 250htt......max i hit was 250htt with 2t timing...y is dis??is there a possibility that my proc memory controller is screwed??cos if it is then i think i should send for claim lor...wat u think??help me out...thanks...

p/s: imposibble ram problem cos gengstapo run memtest with me n he was running it at 1t....with no problems at all....
