3v needed @ 275mhz?(G.skill)

[Deus Excalibur]

I finally got my DFI SLI-DR setup running with a CCBFD 3200+ Winnie and 2x512MB G.Skill LAs and I'm having somewhat of an issue.

At 275mhz 2.5-3-3-7 I need 2.97v to get the RAM stable in memtest, otherwise it fails it fails in less than 6 minutes.(So far so good with 3v- passing 10 mins as I type) This doesn't bother me too much as I have a 92mm fan blowing on the sticks but does anyone know what could be a cause? The RAM chips are Samsung 440.

yeah, on the DFI board, TCCD sometimes needs more voltage then on other boards. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just as long as the RAM stays cool :cool:

well 3.0V aren't that much;)

so keep them runnin' :D

Ok, another quick question. If Prime95 fails in less than a minute with a rounding error like .499995, expecting .4 I heard that is usually associated with a memory issue. If memtest can last 25 minutes no errors at 300mhz 2.5-4-3-7 then I can expect it to be a CPU issue if my RAM is only at 270mhz right?

It's more a mem controller issue.

Heres LA @ 2.9V

I think something is killing my system... I ran P95 for 4 hours before an error showed up at 9x289 (2.5-4-3-7), then the next 2 runs with the same settings only lasted an hour and 10 minutes. I ran P95 @ 10x260 and ran it for an hour and a half, then played some Battlefield. I ran it again then it lasted 8 minutes. Same settings.

With a 6x multi I got 2 errors in memtest after 5 minutes with 2.5-3-3-7 @ 275mhz, yesterday it ran for 35 minutes with no errors @ same voltage. I guess I'll give 3.07v a try.

EDIT: Ok now its at 7 mins no issue, voltage bump might've cleared it but I'm just going to let memtest run through the night.

EDIT2: I just ran it for 11 hours no problems and test#5 for 101 passes but I need 3.16v to keep it stable @ 275mhz. I can't seem to get 300mhz 2.5-4-4-7 stable however. Anyone have some tips? A vdimm voltage increase doesn't help here.
