What can you guys do with your bh-5 mem at pc3200 on nf2? Timings wise. I just did Cas 2-2-1-2 at ddr 400 on my new dfi. Please post yo results. :toast:

My ValueRam 2700 will run 1.5-2-2-5 at 166mhz (default). Yes, that's CAS 1.5 ;).
Those are the lowest numbers I have available on the P4PE.

seriously putting tRAS that low is counter-productive. Never go lower than CAS + tRCD.

173 2-1-1-5 3.15v with my BH-6 in DC on my 8rda+.

i can go 2-2-2-2 2.6v 200fsb on my mushkin l2 3500.

tightest timings would be 1.5-1-1-3. Lets see someone try it. I think only a Via or some Intel chipsets could address those timings. NF2 can't because it's got that wierd ass memory controller.

Best I could muster was 2-2-2-4 with some HyperX 3500 (BH5).

Do these even do anything? How much of a performance increase (if any) would they offer from like 2-2-2-5?

doesn't look like much. 96% efficiency on an nforce is just average which is what the first poster got.
Another forum I am on had a little contest to see who could get the lowest fsb and still break 3K on Sandra. I think we got down to 192 at 3011. Not to bad for efficiency.

what happened to cas1? there used to be memory around that could run cas1...

anyone care to provide typical efficiency on canterwood? I get 76% but I have no idea if thats good or bad..

sounds nice, bh-3? just kidding. i think i read about that once though, pretty sure there will be cas 1 ddr2, would be some nice ram to play with

ddr2=cas3,cas4 and cas5 ;)

Yes at DDR400, 533, and 800 respectively.

Could someone point me in the direction of the formula thing used to calculate optimal timings?
Can't seem to get Google working today.

In dual channel 5:4 I get 86%. At 1:1 I am around 78% and at 3:2 it is around 90%

Which shows you that number is completely useless and not accurate.
Sidebinder

Yeah, that number is pretty useless. However, that is the highest I have ever goten at DDR 400. So, I am just going to run it at that for now on. It also gave me some extra 3dmarks in both 2k1 and 2k3.

no basically it shows Sandra as a whole is useless. On an AMD system or Intel in 1:1 though it can give you a gauge to shoot for.

anyone been able to run CL1.5, RAS to CAS 2, RAS Precharge 1, and TRAS between 4 and 7?
I think that's probably as tight as BH5 or BH6 could go. You'd have to do it on a Granite bay, KT600, KT333, 845PE, 848, or AMD761 chipset. 875, 865, and nforce2 can't handle that tight of timings, to my experience.

That too :D
Well I have a 845PE and I could test....but i'm too lazy...

I was thinking the lowest timings was 2-2-2-5, is those that are under that some bugs, or you see a performance diff?

02-13-2004, 04:02 PM
I used to run 1.5-2-1-5 @ ddr 250 on my ol' P4S8X, man that mobo sucked but it could really pump the timings.

unrealneo, seems like that extra tight timing of "1" didn't do too much. I get 40 sec @ 225fsb at 2-2-2 and @ same clockspeed as yours.
this is for all ya:
I wouldn't bother with the ram timings below 2. The system nor the memory aren't designed to handle cas 1 or 1.5. It's gonna get unstable even where you at now. Time will come to you and WHAMM.. Mr. unstability...
Not that I'm tryng to rub you guys in... but I just really feel the need to say it. Understand what I'm saying?

not a bit, actually.
That goes against everything overclocking...

whoever said it was fastest, it's not about that, it's about the tightest timings EVAR! :D
(STILL an awesome GF3 score, btw :up: )

Lowest I got was on my NF7-S with 2x 256MB XMS3200 v1.1 was 2-2-2-4 got me some nice scores on that :D
2-6-2-2 on Intel rig though!
Sidebinder
02-14-2004, 09:47 AM
that is it unrealneo, that is why I posted the thread, so far it looks like some one did 3-1-1-1.5 if I read correctly. wow. :D

aight... right on..
well, have fun go tight timing then. :cool:
thanx m8... as ya know my GF3 ti200 score was done a long time ago.. I've been lazy to get back to it. I have more powerful cooling handy.. maybe I go for the higher score if I got plenty time.
