NF5 Compatibility Problem Solving method

AM2 processor After some of the adjustment of the column, Athlon64 3000+ and Athlon64 X2 3800+ has become the AMD platform cost-effective pronoun, and the matching NF5 series motherboard has become the focus of attention. Recently, some buyers of NF5 motherboards reflect that in the dual-channel DDR2 667 specifications of the memory will encounter serious compatibility problems, the forum for help Voice. If you're being bothered by NF5 motherboard and memory compatibility issues, hopefully this article will help.

The following is a forum netizen fateh content:

Read the forum a lot about NF5 memory compatibility issues, in which the problem is indeed more, many questions asked and asked ... has not been resolved, and now the special post. In my actual encounter as an example, the problem description and specific solutions are as follows. I just configured the end of July Asus M2N-E Motherboard +AMD X2 3800+CPU, the problem has been studied, the basic has been all resolved, hoping to help everyone.

The first and foremost problem with 1:M2N-E is memory compatibility issues:

Among them, the DDR2 533 and DDR2 800 of the memory bar problem is relatively small, and DDR2 667 problems commonly exist, many manifestations for the system to open the dual-channel instability, restart the panic problem is more common, many comrades were forced to switch to a single 1G memory or different colors of the DDR2 memory mixed plug closed dual-channel solution ...

Mainly because the CPU now has a dual-channel chip, and physical memory dual channel on the NFORCE5 above the memory incompatible with the conflict. Note that this is the general phenomenon of Nforce5, and the SLI user why say less? Also with Asus For example, users who purchase SLI on the motherboard at the expense of the main, so in memory also buy more DDR2 1g/2g memory, thus escaping the so-called memory compatibility problem.

So 667 of the memory mainly depends on the memory in which the memory chips used to determine, ASUS 667 memory Compatibility List mentioned many of the compatible examples, are used Elpida, SAMSUNG, Hynix and so on the big manufacturers of particles. So in the choice of 667 memory strips need to be very fastidious, such as Kingston 667 and Granville just Red Veyron a-data667, in the list are used and elpida the same serial number particles, so, 2 can all be compatible with this motherboard. And many other manufacturers, after many people's actual verification, indeed not compatible, such as pirate Ship Corsair, just listed 675 memory, but also not compatible, not to say that the pirate ship can be compatible with the work, but it's 675 memory particles just a bit commiseration, But his 800 of the memory particles can be successfully passed ...

Finally said: Kingston Kvr667d2n5 series Granville Red Veyron A-data series (please note that the difference between the v-data of the Granville without the red heatsink of the purple PCB version of the series can not be compatible!) Samsung Gold Bar series can be smoothly compatible, 3 compatibility in descending order, other manufacturers do not recommend the attempt, after all, after the memory unpacking is not compatible with the quality of their own return is a headache.

and DDR2 800 recommends the purchase of memory covered with a whole block of heat sink type, most of the products can be compatible, please rest assured that the BIOS settings, in addition to the choice of DDR2 frequency, any other values do not make changes, not to modify too fast response value, will lead to failure and alarm, At this time please go to the motherboard to find the battery next to the clear CMOS jumper to restore the default BIOS through the site evaluation, DDR2 533 Although it can be compatible, but will lead to dual-channel memory performance of the new computer memory channel to become the first performance bottleneck, do not recommend preferred.

July M2N-E motherboard BIOS or version 1.01, please observe the motherboard PCB version of the M2N-E label on the right, rev after the number is representative of the factory BIOS version, recommended to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version, after all, the BIOS is to solve a series of problems released, can partially solve the memory compatibility problem (compatibility Issue 1 0% the solution possibility does not exist, because the motherboard chipset itself, 0203 on the basis of 0101 has been greatly improved, a period of time ago to consult ASUS VIP customer Service mail, Lucky to receive 0301 of the No. 7.11 Internal beta, now use feel good, we suggest that the 0203 based on patience to wait for the release of 0301 ...
