testing my ddr 500 A-data.. 342 fsb..

[eviLRuLeZ]

:hello:

i'm testing my ddr 500 A-data today, I put multiplier 4 and then i began to increase fsb.. i reach 342 at the moment but latency isn't that good i think.. (52 ns)..

I put 2.9v . no vddr mod at the moment.
my system : shuttle an50r
a64 3200+
2x256 ddr 500 A-data

what multiplier is the best in order to have best performance?
is 340 normal..? i heard that multiplier .5 aren't that good.. i didnt test that much under .5 multiplier..

[Boyne7]

its not actually running 340fsb... its a glitch with the 4x and .5 multipliers

[eviLRuLeZ]

ok
how can i reach a high fsb then? with which multiplier?

[Formann]

Since 5 is the lowest ram-divider, your ram is running @ 273Mhz

(342/5) * 4 = 273

To run 1:1 you need to run 5 or above, and no half multis.

[eviLRuLeZ]

ok i'm going to test with multiplier above 5 and no half multis too :D
i'll post screenshots here ;)
thx Formann :)

[althes]

they have to fix that bug.Bt 273 is still good.

[saaya]

thats average for hynix chips, nice board though it seems, and nice cpu.

[eviLRuLeZ]

bios is last, 26
i hope i'll reach more than 273 tonight :D

[eviLRuLeZ]

finally tested my mem..

[Djake]

Try to test the memory in Sisoftsandra.

[eviLRuLeZ]

it reached something like 295 now under sandra

[K32A]

Nice !!

[Djuice]

nice... great results.

[Formann]

Nice scores.. And nice sticks. How much voltage are you feeding´em ?

[eviLRuLeZ]

2.9v only
i need to do vddr mod in order to see if they can reach a better frequency :D

[a5h]

300 shud be np with a little more volts:D

tried lowering the timings a little? ..

[Djuice]

If you are after performance then lowering the timings would incerase ever so slightly.

[thomas66]

would be interesting to know if these chips could run
better timings lets say

230 fsb 1:1 - 2-3-3-6 or 2-3-2-6

[eviLRuLeZ]

ok i'm going to test better timings ;)
i have run 2.5 4 3 5 but its stable only under 255 mhz though.
i tested 3 4 4 5 too. stable around 270,280 but no more.

[macci]

Nice clocks and buffered :toast:

How is the 'real world speed' at those timings ?
aka unbuffered (http://www.akiba-pc.com/e107_images/articles/30c/memsettings.gif) Sandra mem

230 fsb 1:1 - 2-3-3-6 or 2-3-2-6 im curious about this aswell, especially 2-3-2-6

[saaya]

hynix can run cas2? 300mhz is nice, most hynic sticks crap out at 280

[eviLRuLeZ]

it doesnt even boot with cas 2 :D
macci, where can I find this screen setup in sandra?
i reached 297 on sandra, i try to reach 300 @2.9 but its getting hard :/

[saaya]

is it running hot? ramsinks could give you a nice 5mhz boost.

right click on memory bandwidth benchmark and then click on module options :thumbsup:

[thomas66]

evilrule,

did you try to run them at lower fsb at 2-3-3-6 or something?
you just said that they dont boot at cas 2 does it mean also at lower fsb?

[eviLRuLeZ]

no, it seems not to be hot but it already has heatsink on it.
it's DDR 500 Vitesta with heatsink
i reached 297, i screened, now i aim 300 and tomorrow i'll do vddr mod :)
thx JWB :)

it's not booting at cas 2, 200 fsb .. thomas66 :/

[thomas66]

ok thanks evilrule

that means for me iam not going to buy them probably...


grrr... thats a shame cause they are real good value
also in germany

[althes]

Have you run 3dmark any scores

[eviLRuLeZ]

no 3dmark scores since my gfx card sux :)
(Gf 4 mx 440..)
i'm waiting for X800 or 6800.. ;)

[SKYNET]

295 is a wall :(

2.95V

[eviLRuLeZ]

no i hit 297 with 2.9
i have to buy components to mod vddr.. :)

[althes]

excellent 300 is in your reach

[Marblehead]

Lo guys, kinda new here;)

Post my Adata vitesta DDR 500 timings @ low cas 2-3-3-6 @ 3.2V

They love voltage but my mobo (IS7-E voltmodded) craps out @ 3.2V.

Hit a Abit wall @ 1:1 290fsb 2.750V

your not running 1:1 -- CPU-z bug at 6x multiplier..

AFAIK there is no bug with the 6x MP .. only with 4x and .5 MP.

I think his RAM is running 297Mhz.. cause of his sandra-score:

4589 MB/s .. 4589/8 = 573.6Mhz effective. ~287Mhz actuall speed.

Thats 287 Mhz with 100% bandwidth efficiency .. lets presume he has 97% bandwidth efficiency, which is realistic, we get: 297*0.97 = 288Mhz..

I would actually bet money on it :D

[bias_hjorth]

my mistake.. I remember it all wrong I guess :)

evilRuLeZ, how bout taking off the heat spreaders, see what happens, if it actually helps out your overclock.

-K

[althes]

the heat spreaders just trap heat imho

[eviLRuLeZ]

taking off heatspreaders won't be good I think but i'll test ;)
just have to buy components tomorrow to do vddr mod.. i didn't have any time to do it until now.. :/

[CrashOv3r1De]

Nice wish I could have that ram then 3ghz will be in reach without a vmod :)

[Mini]

My A-data have been up and running 273Mhz 2.5-3-3-6@3.2V... But was CPU limited...

Now they are runnin 2.5-3-3-6@253Mhz... They wont even boot at lower timings but they are 200% stable...

Tried lowest timings@200Mhz didnt work...

[damsxx]

nice results evilrulez

Marseille powaaaaaaaaaa :toast:
