Whoa! Busy bee, aren't we? :lol:

This is going to be very helpful for those that constantly ask questions "what memory works or not..." Thanks for your hard work, G.S T :up:

[Chura]

Nice :-)

[overfusion]

i have problem with this ram. At 400 FSB the RAM can't go at 1000 with 4-4-4-12, but 5-4-4-10 yes. At 333 FSB ram goes 4-4-4-12 at 1000Mhz. I can't go over 440 FSB with ram 1:1.
There will be some tweaks....

[GSKILL TECH]

1st update to lastest bios
2nd let fsb,nb voltage be auto, 1.5v for sb.
then 400 1000 problem should solve
same for 440 1:1

[yotomeczek]

It is sad than my HZ (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ ---DDR2 800) don't post on P5B DLx WiFi (bios 614)
I had to use 2x256 memory to see post :(
After I set timings and div they worked fine
I hate P5B :mad:
Sold it and don't have good mobo (daying Bad Axe only)

do you know any reason why it is not post?
let me know your sn
thx

[dinos22]

i've been telling people to get HZ sticks from day 1 of my iNTEL experience.......i've used other RAM and everything was spotty except for these HZ sticks...........they just work and perform really really well

congrats on a great product G.Skill.........would be nice if it wasn't AUD$400 but i guess you get what you pay for :D:toast:

[GAR]

OK,i like this memory, but with this board alot of things are wierd to me, maybe i dont understand but here is what im getting, at 400x9 1:1 divider my bandwidth is around 7300, but at 500mhz with 2:3 divider my bandwidth is 6900, i dont get it, also at 4:5 divider 400x9 my bandiwdth is around 7800 but it doesnt pass super pi 32m dual, also it needs real horible timings to reach those speeds, at 2:3 i can run 500mhz at 4-4-4-12, but at 500mhz with 4:5 divider i can only run 5-4-4-10 and it doesnt pass memtest, even at 2.45 volts. anyone else? also its the build 0606 i believe they should be the micron d9???????

[kiwi]

do you know any reason why it is not post?
let me know your sn
thx

Same here but 8000 2GB HZ

p5b dlx, bios 0614 they won't post unless voltage is set to 2.3V manually using another stick.

They do post with stock bios (03? or smth) though, I haven't tried 0507

[yotomeczek]

I think it's a metter of SPD
I tried stock bios and 614
I discovered that PC6400 2x1GB HZ have at least 3 different SPD (only mine didn't post on P5B Dlx)
My sticks SN is 0606051016787 and 0606051016788
Compare 3 x SPD (http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/163/spdcomp3at3.jpg)

maybe you can try to use the "post" one spd dump and burn into your "not post" hz and see
from your sn i know it is D9 for sure.
d9 not booting correctly in p965 that is very odd case

that is weird... the old bios post but not new bios....
try 0609 bios and see

[Kuulais]

ok ill try later 0609 bios then wiil see whats happens.....

[KiD0M4N]

that is weird... the old bios post but not new bios....
try 0609 bios and see

hey GST.... nice thread u have here... i am gonna try 0609 tonight (am at 0614, ram is no go over 460mhz, no matter what volts)

also.... can you tell me, if 0630xxxxx are D9. i feel somehow cheated. I know D9 is no promise but i bought Gskills for that. My friends with 2gbhz are sitting preety at 540mhz 4-4-4-8 without putting half effort as i hv put.

[mhorgel]

Nice thread!

I have the P5BD WiFi with BIOS 0614, an E6600, and 2GBHZ 6400. It works great on 2.25v (2.3 in BIOS) @ 4-4-4-12 on the 4:5 divider until I exceed about 950 MHz. At 400x9, I can run a 1M SPi, but it flunks Orthos after a few seconds. Using the 1:1 divider, it is stable running Orthos. I loosened the timings to 5-5-5-15, but it still didn't work. I have the V NB, SB, and FSBt all at one step above default.

To be honest, I am very happy with a stable 3.6 GHz overclock with my memory at DDR2- 800MHz @ 4-4-4-12. I understand that overclocks are not guaranteed, but I want to learn more about overclocking and find the limits of my system, so what should I do now? I am thinking of increasing the Vdimm to 2.4v. Another thing, the TRFC defaulted to 42, so I lowered it to 35. Would raising it back to 42 help?

Thanks,

Mark

D9 is promise! for any stick after 0605 and 627 later or whatever the week is.. i don't remember which week we started but if it is like 62x it is D9 for sure

put your ram into his machine is the best way to test

[kiwi]

0609? Haven't seen such bios, at least not on official site. Is it beta?



mhorgel:

4:5 doesn't work good above 900 or so with 0614 bios.

[mhorgel]

4:5 doesn't work good above 900 or so with 0614 bios.

It works OK up until about 950 MHz for me. I'm not going to flash to an older BIOS, hopefully this will be fixed in a future BIOS update. In the mean time, I'm going to see how far I can push the FSB at 9x and a 1:1 divider.

i've posted my surprise in Spacemaster's thread.........4:5 ratio 550MHz 4-4-4-12 :eek: 0614bios

0609 is beta

[Kuulais]

the 0609 bios wont boot up with 8000 2GBHZ untill you change the memory voltage in bios :slapass: :slapass:

[remorema]

the sub timings for the gskill HZ 6400 should be:

3
10
5
13

hope this information helps. ;)

they are not timings that i got by myself. they're really the sticks default value.

For thoose having problems running at 400 fsb in 4:5, use 401 instead. the problem is the chipset strap is in is limits at 400, and when you change to 401, it changes to 1333 starp instead of the 1066 used at 400.

Cumps,

Remo

[Kuulais]

ok i got some free time today and i tested almost all asus p5b delux bios. The 8000 2GBHZ booted up only on 0502 bios the all other bios wont boot up this memory. The most intresting was with 0706 bios it booted up with single memory stick but when it start to load the windows it display that some system file is missing and offers me to repair the windows instalation useing windows instalation cd. But when i change the momory to some value memory stick it booted up and runned windows fine and suddenly no file was missing wtf its really weird and when i put in the both sticks of 8000 2GBHZ to run in dual channel mode it wont boot up at all :slapass: :slapass: i think that asus sucks for real

[JohnnySK]

i've posted my surprise in Spacemaster's thread.........4:5 ratio 550MHz 4-4-4-12 :eek: 0614bios

0609 is beta

dinos22, can you please post the exact timings (sub timings) and voltages (mem,chipset...) that you have used? I look for threads made by Spacemaster but couldn't find your findings.. THANK YOU

SUB TIMINGS FOR 2GB NQ & 2GB NS

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/5179/1ga0.jpg

2GB NR can use the Asus timings, but G.Skill SPD timings are recommendable for optimal results.

10-10-10-10 will not work in most cases. The settings above are Gskill SPD sub timings!

I'm running at the 4:5 divider at FSB 390 (DDR2-975) at 4-4-4-12, and I tried the above subtimings, and my superpi 1M went from 14 sec to 18 sec. I'm back to 10-10-10-10, and my superpi is back to 14.4 sec.

Hi,

I cannot get my GBPK RAM to run at the advertised speed / latency (CAS4) in spite of copying your BIOS settings exactly. My specs :

P5B Deluxe (BIOS 614)
E6600
ATI1900XT
2 GB PC6400 CAS4 G.Skill GBPK RAM

The system is not overclocked, temps are OK (CPU idle 38, load 44). The RAM is auto detected at CAS5 and system runs stable and fine at the looser settings.

I have also re-loaded the BIOS defaults and made only the changes suggested to make sure nothing else is affecting the RAM.

Once I make the suggested adjustments in the BIOS as per this thread to CAS4 4-4-4-12 on booting the system shows the BIOS start-up screen and then continuously crash cycles until I hit the reset.

I increased volts to 1.9V as shown on your screenshots and on the packaging but no further.

Maybe I am missing something - do you have any suggestions?

Regards

Chunks

hummmm, you using exactly same timing i post but no luck at all?
please let me know what is your SN

[Jordao]

Hi all. I´ve got a problem with this board...

I got a brand new mobo, a conroe 6400, 2GB GSkill 6400 and a X1900 AIW. Connected all the devices (plus 4 SATA 80GB and a Audigy2 Platinum) and instaled a fresh Windows XP Pro + SP2.

The system turned on, I installed the motherboard drivers and used the ASUS UPDATE to update the BIOS. The BIOS the program selected was version 711. I downloaded it, the program flashed the BIOS and restarted.

When the system restarted, the blue Asus logo on the board became red, the cpu fan began to spin but that is all that happened. No bip, no video, nothing else...

I tryed to boot with the support CD to restart the original BIOS but again I get nothing because there is no action: no bip, no video. The mobo led, cpu fan, DVD drivers and HDs are working are working (lights are on), but there is no video... Monitor keeps saying NO SIGN.

Any ideas on what to do to get my system on again?

Thanks

[Chunkers]

hummmm, you using exactly same timing i post but no luck at all?
please let me know what is your SN
I have flashed to the latest BIOS 711 and re-tried all your settings as shown in this thread and my RAM will still only run at CAS5, crashes on CAS4 settings.

I have PM'ed and emailed you the serial numbers for my sticks

Thanks again

In order to get this ram running at 500mhz with a 4:5 divider, you will need a nb volt of 1.65 and a sb volt of 1.7...also in order for it to be stable you will need to replace the nb cooler, stock cooler will not be enough......mine wasnt stable at 4-4-4-12 500mhz with a 4:5 divider intill i baught this......best 25 bucks ever spent :]

few days later i will have better sitting for this mobo and i will keep adding more and more mobo testing

Hi

I have bought G.Skill F2-6400Phu2-2GBNR 1024x2
i have the pc overclockd to 4 Ghz so im happy the mems holding out at 1:1 @ 1000 Mhz....

could you direct me to any better timings as im not to cluey on that sort of stuff and im sure when you look at the mem timings you would be able to tell me what to change..
atm im at 6.6.6.18. 6. 42 15. 31. 15. 31 i think thats the correct order default is
5.5.5.15 .6 42 10 10 10 10 Cheers

[leejsmith]

I am having problems with f2-6400phu2-2gbnr kits on a p5b dlx system bios 804

i have used the settings from the first post 5-5-5-15-4-42-10-10-10-10 1.8v upto 1.95v at stock ddr2 800 speeds. so far i have tested 3 kits using quick tech pro extended memory test and get errors on all 3 kits in different places
I also tested a f2-6400phu1-1gbnr kit and that worked 100%.

the serial numbers of one of the kits 6480901439309 and 310

[GSKILL TECH]

please use 3-11-7-13 for all subtiming.
i will post new screen for setting soon
we are planing to move so phone, testing platform are all down.

^ ah right, are those subtimings for the f2-6400phu2-2gbnr kits only or 2GB HZ as well?

[GSKILL TECH]

^ ah right, are those subtimings for the f2-6400phu2-2gbnr kits only or 2GB HZ as well?
3-11-7-13 is good for all DDR2 800 :)

[Kakulukia]

May I ask how you found out that the subtimings are 3-11-7-13??
The other tech guys say: 3-10-5-13, and 3-11-5-14.....
Because I really want to run as 'tweaked' as possible.

SO this should run: (divider 4:5)
4-4-4-12-4-42-3-11-7-13

[fasttruck860]

Anyone know how I can get my 6400HZ to boot on this board in dual channel? Currently only working in single channel mode and only in the B1/B2 slots. I get no post at all with dual channel.

we looked into the motherboard timing and believe that is 100% 24/7 stable. we don't give tweaked timing since not all the user understand and might run into problem

if not working in dual channel, eitehr your board has problem or something wrong with ram. set to FSB266 and DDR2 533 and see dual channel works or not

[Stx]

should I be trying to get the lowest possible vdimm that my settings will run at and are stable? im testing e6400@2.67, 2:3 divider- @1004mhz (bios vdimm@2.3-dunno real, timings: 5-5-5-12-4-42-3-11-7-13), i got errors in MemTest/orthos with 4-4-4-12(even at bios vdimm 2.35).

The 5-5-5-12-4-42-3-11-7-13 is stable so far in memtest, afterwards should I try looser timings, like 5-5-5-10 or similar?
edit: im doing 4:5@835, 4-4-3-8-4-42-3-11-7-13 now- testing

[Stx]

should I still try for greater than 2.3V vdimm on 2:3@1004mhz, because it wasnt working on 2.3V- is the vdimm undervolted as well?

[newls1]

are the 3/11/7/13 sub-timings OK for DDR1000 speeds and 2.50Vdimm?

how about for 2GB ddr2-1000 ZX kit? the sticker says 2.3V-2.4V, but does it really need that much to run @ 1000 with relaxed 5-5-5-15 timings? because it limits me in OC'ing more. right now its at 800 @ 4-4-4-10.

[mele]

What are the sub-timings for F2-8000-PUH2-2GBHZ????????

Thanks,

Hi,
my board is a ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi and my RAM are two sticks of G.Skill F2-6400CL5-1GBNQ.
With the automatic and default BIOS Settings i have no problems but last time i applied the here postet recommended settings and were unable to pass for example the Memtest memory test or the Windows memory test.
Can anybody help me with that?

These settings seem to work fine, thanx.
I also have Static Read Control deactivated, dunno what it does but it is also disabled on the BIOS Screen first post.

Perhaps you can tell my in which way these Settings differ from the auto/default settings?!

Hello, i am using the Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi/AP + GSkill F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK,
but i found that my system was Xtreme Unstable, i always got the BsoD while playing games or even just chating in MSN, i tried to follow the first page to setup my BIOS, but i have no luck, the system still very unstable, my timings are 4-4-4-12-2-42-10-10-10-10 ( as page 1 ),tested under 1.9V, 1.95V and 2.00V memory voltage, but didn't see any difference, i hope someone or G.S Technician can help me out, Thank you.

for the p5b deluxe, does it run in dual channel if you use A1/A2(yellow/black), or A1/B1 (both yellows)

ok....here's my test, the first stick of my memory can finished the quick test
(100% means the quick test in memtest), i will try to run it few more hours to see if it is 100% perfect.

but the second stick of my memory can't finish the quick test, it start to report error before it reach 10%, so i stop to test it as i know this stick of memory must be defected, i had uploaded an image,
so what do i need to do now, thank you :)

[bugiz]

Hello,

since a few days i'm owner of the F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ which i installed on my P5B deluxe (lastest BIOS Version 1004).

My Problem:

Memtest Errors when i use these settings ( 2 x GBNQ modules)
DDR2 800,1.9v or 2,0v 5-5-5-15-4-42-3-11-7-13

When i test the modules seperate, Memtest runs with no errors(3runs).


Is that a problem of the P965 chipset?

Well, what do you think is the most speed I can get out of it? And what voltages/timings?

[Bloodshedder]

Hiya G.S Tech! First off I want to say I have 2 1GB sticks of your G.Skill DDR2 800 HZ and I'm happy as a pig in ... well, you know ...

I've already passed Memtest86+ (10 passes at each speed) @ 800 (3-3-3-9 @ 2.3V), 1000 (4-4-4-10 2.35V) & 1100 (5-5-5-15 @ 2.4V). And yes, I do have active cooling. OCZ memory cooler. I think I might even try these at reduced voltages, but I think my intent (once I figure out my CPU OC) is to run somewhere between 800 & 900, unless I get some good benchmarks running a divider.

In all three instances I used 4-42-10-10-10-10 sub-timings. A few questions:

Would I be better at 3-3-3-8 at 800?

And what sub-timings would be optimal at each speed?

Oh, I'm running a E6400 Conroe B2 on my P5B Deluxe (0910 bios).

Again, this is some GREAT RAM!!! I am so very pleased with the initial results!

Okay, thanks, I'll try the 4-42-4-10-6-10 sub-timings. And yes, it's the Micron D9 ICs. I forget the exact week, but they were manufactured late last year and they use the newer S/N scheme.

[Bloodshedder]

currently testing at 484mhz 4-4-4-12-4-42-3-9-6-9 3.4vdimm (3.35actual)

Hey itznfb, let me know how those sub-timings work out for you. I think I'm stable at DDR1000 4-4-4-6-4-42-4-10-6-10 @ 2.3v. 47 passes through Memtest86+ tests 1-8 no errors. Running Orthos Blend to verify. I might even hammer it after that with Memtest test 5. I think that's the one that really shakes the memory down and is most likely to turn up errors?

3-9-6-9 worked for me at DDR800 CAS 3 but I didn't think to try them at DDR1000 CAS 4.

I recently bought F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231087)
Right now it runs at stock 800MHz, 1.9V,
timings 4-4-4-4-2-30-3-9-6-9.

It's memtest86+ stable and 24/7 folding stable. Is it safe to run memory at such timings?
I got a nice bump in memory benchmarks @ Everest, so I would prefer to keep these timings over suggested 4-4-4-12-4-42-3-11-7-13.

By the way what's the lowest possible timings on these sticks? Could it go even lower? I am a bit scared to try it myself.

I just wonder about tRAS, why everyone use 10-15, when it works fine with 4?
Or probably MB fixing it back to 12, thats why it's working?
tRAS should be a sum of previous three timings, right?

My wish is to get the most possible ram amount to work, just because I am working with music progs on the pc and every single mb of ram memory counts...or the fastest and best possibility I can get......problem is that the bios (not only windows or anything, both OS and BIOS!!) just says there are 2688MB of memory either there are 3 or 4 GB in the slots....and I do not know if there is any dual-channel mode left when there are only 3 chips in it or if I need 4 of them to have the best solution or...arrggghh!

Get a 2*1Gb kit of 6400 HZ on a P5B deluxe. No overclocking

During the first install, the system had boot with all bios settings to auto.

After 3 weeks, the system give me a BSOD and the only for me to reboot is to use another memory module and put Vddr to 2.1v. 3 days later, need to put vddr to 2.25v to be able to boot. Is it a normal behaviour or i miss something ?

4-4-4-12-4-42-9-11-7-13, vddr 2.25, e6600 266Mhz, 400Mhz for memory all other settings to default.

I just changed USB legacy to disable.

My system runs fine with a no name memory and when i'm able to boot with my gskill kit, i can run memtest for windows 600% without an error.

PS: No boot is no beep, screen black, fans on. If i remove the memory modules, the motherboard beeps.

I want to stay on the 1066 strap for my P5B Dlx, which I gather is under 400 FSB. Is it possible to run a (2:3) frequency per the following: I tried and did not get a post.
I have G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ. I like this memory; it seems to work at tight settings.

P5B Deluxe (Bios 1101)
6600......375 FSB running at 3.38Ghz
4x1Gb at (4:5).....running at 938Mhz (4-4-4-12-4-12-3-11-7-13)

It was not stable with this setup at 380-390 FSB, but at 375 FSB is was a breeze. This appears to be a sweet spot.

I've been playing with this HZ kit for a few days now... not really seeing a difference between 4-4-4-12-10-10-10-10 running a 440x8, 1:1, or 425x8, 5-5-5-15-10-10-10, 4:5 (w/ DDR2-1066mhz ). Both @ 2.3v.

SuperPi is within a few tenths but 440 @ 1:1 wins every time. I thought maybe the extra memory bandwidth might take over running looser timings, but not so.... maybe because I have to drop 100mhz on the CPU to do it. Memory will not cut more than 1066mhz, so my CPU takes a hit running 4:5.

I'm just trying to find that sweet spot..... any tips?? CPU is tapped out at stabilty wise @ 3.56- 3.57g, so I back it down to 3.52- 3.53g for daily use. Rig does not like FSB around 400 just like everyone else. I tried 390x9, 4:5 divider, but it craps out in a few minutes w/ Orthos blend (has to be FSB strap related). I was really hoping to hit between 390- 400fsb @ 4:5 to push everything. I could try 375ish but thats just killing the CPU mhz.

I agree, my best performance is @ 399. It is stable dispite all the problems I have heard about at this level. I wanted to stay on the 1067 strap. I tried 450x8 and it was slower. This is as high as I can go with air cooling. The 7 mulyiplier does not work for me. I cannot get past 475. I guess 610Mhz is the limit for my NB. I ran Orthos for 1/2 hour at 399 and then I stopped it. I'll let it run some other time.

I am currently trying to run at (4:5); 998Mhz (5-5-5-15) but it is not Orthos stable. I can get Orthos to run for only 20 minutes inconsistently. I am at 2.15v for the memory.

I have run 450x8, but 399x9 beats it everytime in performance tests. E6600 is limited with PC6400 memory. I should have bought PC8000 or PC8500! My fastest speed came at 399x9 (4:5), so I am trying to make it stable.
I fryed 2x1GB of this ram at 2.40v. It must have been a bad batch.

HAPPY MOTORING!!

[cdelong]

what tests are you using to evaluate performance?

[doakh]

I use Super PI 1M and 32M. I ran Santra, but I am not sure that is really telling me about real life situations. I tried running 3dMark06, but I had trouble getting any results. I am new at this, so I don't know what I was doing wrong. Do you have any suggestions?

[cdelong]

I've been playing with this HZ kit for a few days now... not really seeing a difference between 4-4-4-12-10-10-10-10 running a 440x8, 1:1, or 425x8, 5-5-5-15-10-10-10, 4:5 (w/ DDR2-1066mhz ). Both @ 2.3v.

SuperPi is within a few tenths but 440 @ 1:1 wins every time. I thought maybe the extra memory bandwidth might take over running looser timings, but not so.... maybe because I have to drop 100mhz on the CPU to do it. Memory will not cut more than 1066mhz, so my CPU takes a hit running 4:5.

I'm just trying to find that sweet spot..... any tips?? CPU is tapped out at stabilty wise @ 3.56- 3.57g, so I back it down to 3.52- 3.53g for daily use. Rig does not like FSB around 400 just like everyone else. I tried 390x9, 4:5 divider, but it craps out in a few minutes w/ Orthos blend (has to be FSB strap related). I was really hoping to hit between 390- 400fsb @ 4:5 to push everything. I could try 375ish but thats just killing the CPU mhz.

basically i have no info for you. you already answer all your question. i don;t know how to help you tho

[Cracker]

i think it is your ram.
NQ doesn't overclock good at all and not take voltage either...

value ram it is
Click on the "Is Nice" part of my sig. ;)

I shouldn't have to try and sell your RAM for you but whatever.

1.9v is what it took to achieve this "huge overclock". :rolleyes:

[Patriote]

Small question. I have a kit of F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ which 1 stick just died 2 days ago. I just contacted G.Skill's RMA department to get a RMA #...

I woke up some day, powered the comp and nothing appeared on my LCD... After screwing\playing with the computer for hours (Trying to find the problem...), i found out that 1 of the 2 stick was dead. I tried to boot with each stick separately and only 1 of the 2 would make the comp to boot...

So, my question is, is it really safe to run 2.3v for 1000Mhz 4-4-4-12 for that particular RAM kit ? A good friend of me has his running at 2.35v 1000Mhz 4-4-4-12...

Thanks!

[Patriote]

Any1 ? Pls!

[GSKILL TECH]

well well... the best way to run it is 800 cl4-4-4-12 with 1.9v :P
but to me micron IC.... good overclock always!!! but life of itself is not too long... from DDR we can tell it always like this...

I almost got what you said...:p: So you say that it's normal that the RAM don't live long because of overclocking ?

for 24/7, i rather use CL5-5-5-15 @ 2v at DDR2 1000. that is kinda safe if you can make it. CL4 and CL5.... well other than super pi... i can't tell the difference

Thanks for the tip. I'll see what gives when i get my kit back from you guys.

BTW: Does overclocking void my warranty?

It's again me... Just wondering what sub-timings i should run for 5-5-5-15 2.0v 1000Mhz ? I went through the whole thread and there were so much timings posted... i can't figure out which one i should run for my set-up.

Currently im running 1000Mhz 5-5-5-15-4-42-3-10-5-13 2.0v

Is that any good ? Could such timings refrain me to overclock my new G0 Q6600 on a P5B Deluxe ? Because im having some serious issues overclocking my Q6600 past 3.5Ghz.

Actually, what sub-timings should be run for any DDR2 1000Mhz ram kit ?

Thanks a lot for the help!

3-11-7-13 is the auto setting, micron can go to 3-10-5-10 no problem

it is nothing to do with your CPU overclock, well maybe lower TRRD to 4

Thanks. All thought it's stable @ stable for 400% of memtest @ 1000Mhz 5-5-5-15-4-42-3-10-5-13 2.0v the CPU is still ain't clocking any higher. I tried all sort of voltage combination for NB, FSB, SB etc.. and still the CPU won't do higher than 3.5Ghz stable. I also tried with a stick of D9 i had lying around and it didn't do any better so... Ram is not the problem and im really satisfied with the new kit i got back from you guys. Maybe the P5B Deluxe with latest BIOS is the problem after all. Anyway, Thanks!

[doakh]

Hey G.Skill Technician,

I decide to play around and set my timings as follows:
4-4-4-4-4-20-3-11-7-13 at 2.05v. It is stable per initial Orthos testing. Everything seems to be loading faster than before when I was at 3.6Ghz and 800Mhz (1:1) at stock settings. What is your opinion of this?

ASUS P5B Deluxe (Bios 1212)
E6600 3.0GHz
4x1GB G.Skill F26400PHU2-2GBHZ 833 MHz (4:5)
Sapphire X1950 Pro 512MB

[Patriote]

Am currently running 1030Mhz 2.1v 4-4-4-12-4-42-3-11-7-13 Windows and Bios Memtest stable + Orthos stable too :) Haven't tried anything else yet. But so far, i like these settings.

I'm wondering what much of a difference do you get by setting a 4 instead of the stock 12 for the fourth timing.

[Netspider]

Hi,

I was using 2x1GB (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ) for some time at 835 MHz without problems, now I bought a second pair (also F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ) and I get memory errors in memtest86+ when I clock the ram at 835 - these problems are gone when the ram is at 668 MHz.

I have a P5B Deluxe and a C2D E6600 (266x9 -> 334x9).
There are no memory errors when I test 1 or 2 of the modules - when I insert all 4 I get errors in the 4th slot (doesn't matter which ram I put there) but sometimes the errors are also in other slots.

I know it sounds like a motherboard problem but maybe someone knows a solution...

btw.: memory remapping is enabled and I'm using the timings seen on page one here

[doakh]

Nerspider....I run 4x1Gb in Vista x64 without any problems. I have easily run 333x9 with my ram at (4:5) 833Mhz with stock settings at 2.05v. I have also run at 400x9 with my ram (1:1) 800 Mhz with stock settings at 2.05v.

ASUS P5B Deluxe (1212)
E6600...3.41Ghz at 486x7
4x1GB G.Skill 6400 HZ 486Mhz (5-5-5-15) at 2.10v
vNB: 1.55
To run stock timings I need 2.35 - 2.40v.
Anyone able to get 500x7 to boot into Windows?

[Netspider]

you're running it at 5-5-5-15, I used 4-4-4-12 @2.0v (from here (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1706356&postcount=1))
maybe that's the problem... I'll try upping my voltage a little

You can try reseating your ram. That works sometimes. If you are getting errors all you can do is raise the voltage. But I do not want to go beyond the the tested spec...2.0 ~ 2.1v. Thats why I lossened the timings. I would like my ram to last awhile. As a last resort try raising the voltage for the Northbridge, but it runs hot.

[wgoldfarb]

I just started trying my hand at my first overclock. I now have my FSB at 333 MHZ. I have 2 GB of G.SKill F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK DDR2 800. Right now I am running it at 4:5 so I am overclocking it slightly at DDR2 833. Vdimm is 1.9V as recommended at the start of this thread. Everything is stable as per Prime95 and Memtest. Currently my subtimings are as set automatically by the BIOS:

5-5-5-13-?-?-?-?-?-?

Before my overclock I was running this RAM at its rated speed (DDR800) with the following subtimings:

4-4-4-10-4-42-3-11-7-13

Now I want to set the subtimings manually to tighten them a little. I can play around with the first four timings (now at 5-5-5-13), but I have no idea what I should do with the other 6. I want to leave them (for now) at some "safe" numbers so I can get the first 4 as tight as possible without worrying about the other 6. So, for now, should I leave them at the recommended 4-42-3-11-7-13, or could this be too tight given my overclock?

Thanks in advance!

4-42-3-11-7-13 is good. you can try to tight it more.

hi all, i have 6300 (L2) and a Pb5Dlx and have managed to oc my rig to 2.8 (1:1 RAM 400MHZ BUS) but it seems i have the same problems as TORTEL user here in XS, i cant pass the 420MHZ wall i have G.skill F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ 2gb RAM. Now since ive been reading it says it not good overclocker this ram i got. so i strarted tweaking the timings sinse i think i wont go over the 400mhz bus, and LOL i manage to get these intresting timings on a 1.9v 4.4.4.12-2-35-3-9-6-9 i have test my ram with Prime and done 8hours no problems at these setting, i understand these are very tight timings (btw are these D9 micron chips?) but sinse i can do so good with timings what can be my problem with the 420+ wall, should i try 500mhz with 2.1v and if i do, do i need to air cool my ram? at that voltage? (and of course lossen timings)

i don;t think that is D9 chip and the 2.1v should be ok but just make sure it don't get to hot.

i never try 500mhz on NQ. not sure they run CL5 500 or not.

Kinda funny that someone mentions me, but I think my problem was a bad clocking e6300, it loves to suck down volts.


Anyway, I have the 2gbNQ, and I was wondering if I were to get another set, would they still maintain their DDR2-800 rating? I know a friend that got 4 sticks of this ram, and she couldent run them at above 336mhz.

[Tortel]

To answer my last question, after installing another set of the 2GBNQ, I dont run stable at 400x7 anymore, but I do at anything less than 400. Now Im at 399x7

[Martin51]

Hello, I bought a second 1GBNQ module ( CL5D-1GBNQ PC-6400 ) ( I bought the first one year ago ) but I now have BSOD and program crashes in vista.

The modules are in dual channel mode ( same color slot ) , and I use these timings and vloltage : use 1.9v 5-5-5-15-4-42-3-11-7-13

So I did a memtest ( last version ) and it finds errors. I also did it with each module separately and only the new one makes errors.
This new module looks a little bit different ( the rad is a little different) but it's still the same package and Everest see the same module.
I think these settings doesn't work anymore with these modules.

( sorry for english mistakes )

Thank you for your help, Martin.
