Low Latency Xtreem BH-5 1.5-2-2-5 timings/bios settings

[jc2mm2]

Need help w/ this... can't seem to run it properly...

One of my impt questions is drive strength, what do you think my drive strength and data drive strength should be?

[shadowing]

Drive strength should be set at around 8 imo. As for data strength, play around with it.

[jc2mm2]

well... at level 2, it blacks out... I can only use level 1 here...

and one more thing, I can't seem to reach DDR500 @ 3.3vdimm :(

[gigi77]

Go up to 3.4v

:)

Normally, it is hard to make it work at higher data strengths. I, for one, use Level 1 as higher levels resulted in less stability.

i use auto/auto

here you got some settings to test:
http://www.techsweden.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=122888

a swedish m8 got 270mhz 3.5v out of them, and moore to come hopefully :D

he got 255mhz 3.2v out of the box, then he burned them in @ 268mhz 3.4v with only 4 errors in memtest #5 per loop.

he is burning them in as we speak.

[jc2mm2]

did those already...

increased to 3.4, 3.5... still can't reach...

played w/ drive strength, nothing....

Is the low latency diff from the normal xtreem mems?

[shadowing]

Did you try going 2-2-2-5 instead of 1.5-2-2-5? That might be your problem. ;)

[jc2mm2]

its already @ 2-2-2-5 :(

[EnJoY]

Try drive strengths of 7/1 and 5/1...your sticks sound like they act a lot like my old BH5.

Also, mess with preamble and max async latency.

[jc2mm2]

how can I know if it's the old BH5? And how does the old BH5 fare from the new BH5?

[loc.o]

The teamgroup is deff new (utt) bh5 (week/year should be on sticks). Mine also act same as me old mushkin's.

[eviLRuLeZ]

DDR400 or DDR500?
Put a screenshot with your a64 tweaker settings... we don't know anything at the moment... we can't tell you anything...

It's a ddr400, the low latency type, 1.5-2-2-5 :( but im running it @ 2-2-2-5 right now...

Im using OPB's recommended settings w/ the Teams BH5:

My Drive is @ Level 8 and data is @ level 1, using Level 7 or 6 doesn't give me any gain.

Im also using TREF 3120 now.

Is this a dud? I reaaaaaally can't reach 250, heck, 240 only becomes stable @ 3.22vdimm!

[Evil]

I have the same ram myself, can´t even run ddr400 2-2-2-5. Tried on Ultra-D and Expert, can run them 2-3-2-5 and that´s about it.:confused:

Yes but thats are with cold air ^^

Mine run fine @ 250 now (3.3v 2-2-2-5-7-0). The timimgs i used (and that are different compared to your A64 screen) are:

Tref: 4196
Mal: 8
RP: 5.0
Idle cycle: 0 (so 16 should do fine as wel)
Drive strength: 3 (got to run HTT 330+ due to 10 multi)
Data drive: 1

well... 240 @ 3.22vdimm is nice.
Put some volts to that memory, about 3.5v and let's see what happen ok? :)

Tell us what frequency you can reach with 3.5v. ;)

[Stelios]

jc2mm2 , try lowering the drive strength value to 2 or auto .

[jc2mm2]

no luck... thanks for all the help, but Im giving up on this ram. Im soooooo disappointed w/ team group, seems like I won't be buying team's 2gb kit anymore :(

[kk228]

:confused: you say it's DDR400 (1.5-2-2-5) which can run at 480MHz..? It's quite amazing though.... why you are so upset? just becasue can't get ddr500? or you shall purchase DDR500 in beginning? :confused

[s7e9h3n]

jc2mm2 , try lowering the drive strength value to 2 or auto .
DON'T run a drive strength of 2....I think he means data strength ;)

EDIT: And yeah, 240 @ 3.22 is definately considered stellar results. I'll be reviewing a set of TEAM PC4000 Bh5's pretty soon and IIRC, they're rated @ 250 @ 3.2V

[eviLRuLeZ]

I don't understand what you are so disappointed... 240 @ 3.2v is amazing... what did you expect? 285 @ 3.4v? :D

I have this RAM and use 8/2 for drive strengths on the Expert board. Haven't had any major problems. You might try flashing to a different BIOS. I need 3.3v to run at DDR500. My sticks also need a lot of voltage to get them to run at DDR540 in 32M.

[eviLRuLeZ]

very nice sticks you have here :)
how many volts? 3.7?

[corvus_corax]

Yep, 240MHZ @ 3.2V is great. You are using a San Diego (i read in your sig) , what about if you use L6&L2 for Drive and Data Drive strength? For me those values work very well in Opteron and San Diego up to 250MHz. Sometimes all is about driving strength ;) I have a pair of GHs that can do 240MHZ @ 3.1V (http://img489.imageshack.us/my.php?image=op144240222531v8m3de.gif) using those settings.

I hope your results :) !

Great sticks sierra_bound!!

Thanks evilRuLeZ & corvus_corax. Needed 3.75v to run at 270. For everyday usage, 250 @ 3.3v is a better option.
