Corsair 3200XL - What have you had out of yours?

[Ol!ver]

I've got some of this RAM, and it's just failed prime, so it looks like I'm going to need 2.9v for 2,3,3,11 @ 220Mhz FSB.

Does anyone know what this memory is rated for?

Also, what have you guys been getting, and with what settings?

Cheers

Oli

2-2-2-5 at 200mhz. Put some 3.3 volts on that ram and tell us what it does.

[biohead]

I heard it has samsung chips that are supposted to run @ 250 2.5-3-3-7 @ 2,85v. I think that bs; I cant even get 230 stable at those timings @ 2,80v. I think 3.3v will give like 250-260 with some relaxed timings.

[fareastgq]

235 max memtest error free, 6 hour test, 243 max fsb, obviously not error free, timings where 2 3 2 11 at both fsb on a stock abit nf7-s 2.0. volts where at 2.9. I have one of the older boards fyi. (with the metal lever), I'm not suggesting that the metal lever boards are better, just using it as a time reference so ppl get a good idea of when it was bought. boards with metal levers MAY be able to over all, oc better, but I'm sure there are many nice oc'ing newer boards also. I am pretty sure that if I threw 3.3+ volts at this ram, I would be looking at higher fsb, 250-260 at 2 3 2 11, maybe even 2 2 2 timings, I'll have to wait for a booster for that ;) My sticks are 2x512 btw, NOT 2x256, and I believe ch-5 is under the hood.

Hrm, sorry, big ass edit,------->>> jeez, I just read this thread again, sorry ppl, I have XMS PRO'S, WHICH ARE NOT XL, they are the ch-5 based pro's that came out first. I could have sworn that the title said xms pros, heh. of course I was tired as hell too. again, sorry for the big mis-info........:slobber:

[drunkenmaster]

errm, isn't corsair xl known to be sammy tccd chips, also not for liking voltage at all, and dude has a thread showing his at ddr631 or something with 2.8/9 v, afaik it won't under any voltages do 2,2,2,5 above like 220Mhz.

[Geforce4ti4200]

I dont think volts helps this ram. also no one can get pc3500 speeds out of it at 2-2-2-5, probably cause corsair is binning them for pc3500XL

[iskall]

I'm running my 3200XL's @260 1:1, 2.5-3-3-6@2.8V Primestable. Not too good, but not to bad either. I got those sticks for a good price, of I wasn't, I would probably not be satisfied.

[TheJackal]

i've had a test stick at work running 270fsb @ 3.3v timings, 3,4,4,8

[dwwalker14335]

Corsair XMS Pro XL 2-2-2-5 PC3200 DDR TwinX 2 x512 MB

I run mine at 2.9 V with a 245 FSB with settings 2.5-3-3-7

With 3.1 V and 245 FSB, I run it at 2-3-3-6

I have the OCZ Booster on the way, so I will see if I can tighten those timings up a bit.

That's pretty bad considering PC4400 will do that @ 2.8v...

[shafty]

what are you highest 2-2-2 timings?

[dwwalker14335]

The highest I have had the FSB with 2-2-2-5 is 220. After that, I run 2-3-2-5 to 230. Then 2-3-3-5 to 240, then 2-3-3-6 to 250. The Abit IC7-Max3 I have does not power the RAM correctly after 2.9V. The OCZ booster should do the trick. Once I have that, I will try to get the timings to spec at 245 FSB.

[biohead]

did any1 tried the ocz booster with a 8kda3+ mobo yet? I wanna know if it's compatible.

yea 3200xl sucks, looks like eb is still the best closely followed by bh-5 if you can give it the volts.

[drcrawn]

isnt amd skipping fx-55 and going straight to 57 (2.8ghz) on the 90nm? 939 pin...

Thatd be nice but I think theyre stickin with FX-55 next.

What kind is Sandra score are you getting on your memory? It looks like your system spec's better than mine with the BH-5, but your 3Dmark03 score is a little low. I would have thought it would be around 15k.

BTW, the Corsair XMS Pro XL I have scores around 5900 on the Sandra memory test.

[TheJackal]

the 3.3v was just because i was using a voltmodded board, the chip had topped out thou

Low? Hmm seems pretty good to me but then maybe there are some software optimizations I could do.

I dont think I'll bother running sandra unless you really want me to for comparision, the numbers wouldnt be very impressive since I think the max I can run is around 210Mhz with only the stock 2.8v.

[dwwalker14335]

The score is not "low" per say, but I think there is at least another 1000 points hiding. I wish I had your spec'd system. There must be some tweaking left in it. Here is a link to my 3DMark03 score (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2980056) . Just wondering how it compares. I wish I had that kind of memory timings at 245 FSB. :)

What are your 6800U clocks? Also it may be the different driver and bios giving you improvements, are presscotts better for 3d03? Maybe if I used different drivers, had volt mods for 1:1, and gutted all the services and other unessesary stuff from xp then I could hit 15k. What optimizations are using?

[dwwalker14335]

I do have watercooling, but it is only a Koolance system. Here is a summary of my set up:

1. Abit IC7-Max3
2. evga 6800 Ultra - 480/1280 - 1.1/1.4/1.4 - edited BIOS - boots 450/1200- have clocked to 510/1310, but that was the edge.
3. two SATA 120 GB drives RAID 0 in ICH5
4. P4 3.2E at 3.9 (243 FSB) and 1.5675 Volts
5. Corsair XMS Pro 3200 XL RAM at 2-3-3-6 - 2.8 Volts
6. OCZ PowerStream 520ADJ PSU

Pretty straight forward setup.

Drivers:

I used the FM approved WHQL 60.85 drivers. These score around 200 to 300 points less than anything 61.34 and above. I have found them all about equal above this level, except in Aquamark 3. The best for that is 61.34.

I did have the Ultra BIO edited for 1.1/1.5/1.5, but all it did was make things warmer, not faster. If I had a more extreme cooling system, maybe I could take adavantage of the extra voltage.

I am running Windows XP - SP2 all the patches, etc.

What is the make off your card? Do you know what rev of BIOS it is? The latest is around 2.0.15.07 or higher. I have tried around 14 different BIOS's, and the evga is the best bet.

[aoc007]

Maybe your higher gpu clocks and (I assume) ram at 1:1 are making a big difference? Also are the prescotts faster for 3d03? And maybe sp2 is faster also? (theres no way Im installing that yet)

My Ultra is a eVGA, it came with the latest .15.07 bios.

[dwwalker14335]

I would definitely run the RAM 1:1 and see what happens. The RAM transfer rates are much better, and 245 FSB is not too much of a push for that RAM.

[Clevor]

This is not with Corsair TCCD but PQI, 2x512 MB sticks, rated PC3200, 2-2-2-5. Maybe these sticks are not limited by binning ;):

212, 1:1, 2-2-2-5 @ 2.8 volts (Bah!)
253, 1:1, 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.6 volts (IS7-E)
260, 1:1, 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.7 volts (IS7-E)
266, 1:1, 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.8 volts (IS7-E)
270, 1:1, 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.8 volts
275, 1:1, 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.9 volts
250, 1:1, 2-3-3-6 @ 3.1 volts
286, 1:1, 2.5-4-4-7 @ 2.8 volts

This is on a 4PDA2+, Rev. 2.0, unless indicated otherwise. I did not test other voltage/CAS settings. The settings above are 3D stable settings. I find you have to drop 2-3 mhz down from max Memtest clean settings.

You will notice I did not test between 212 and 253 fsb because I have the Ballistix stuff with mT -5B Gs that will do 2-2-2-5 or 2.5-2-2-5 here, all at 2.6-2.7 VDIMM. No way the TCCD would keep up anyway.

Nice :) What voltage were you using?

[glek_michael]

VDimm : 3.10v

If i use 3.20 or more, i won't booting

I tried a second pair of PQI PC3200, stuff rated 2-2-2-5 with TCCD. This was a DC kit. These did 264, 1:1, 2.5-3-3-6, Memtest clean and 3D stable at 2.6 VDIMM :eek:, on an IS7-E. 2x512 sticks in DC. Didn't test further, more volts, or other timings.

With the early Ballistix PC3200 stuff capable of 241, 1:1, 2.5-2-2-5 at 2.6 volts, damn, who needs a whopping 2.8 VDIMM anymore? :ROTF:

[Stang_Man]

here's mine.

here's mine.

:slobber:

it's not even maxed.:)

[cwatson]

247 2-2-2-6-1t :) i love my stick of that shiz
got 260 3-4-3-7 with another new stick

[cwatson]

both 512sw btw

[Tek]

here's mine.

Are those RAM even doing 230mhz CL2.2.2? I mean, you use a .5 CPU multi ;)

Try a full multi and see how high you can take them.

[AMDnewbie]

mine...tccd 446........
it don't like heat at all....had to use a fan to cool it to get to 280Mhz...
however...winnie maxing out so run as 265Mhz....wait till i replace another water block to bring it higher....

see whether fans helps or not...I now run mine w 2.7v w 2 fan blowing...
