amazing fsb, but 3-3-2-8, get those lower and youve got killer ram!

[saaya]

omg! :eek:

[scrible88]

volts? Sounds like at least 3.6-3.8

Tighten the timings!

What will those run @ 2-2-2-11? 220mhz?

[cold_ice]

Incredible oc Evolution :thumbsup:
It would be interesting what this RAM can handle with tighter timings

[ryanpgroovy]

Those seem like pretty damned tight timings at 626 Mhz guys

Ryan, i love you for this Memory :slobber:

This memory runs this with 3,5 and 3,6 Volts

The memory does 3-2-2-5 til 295 MHZ, on Cas 2 the memory dont let me boot, but the memory runs Great with CAS 3 :banana:

Please excuse the over-inflated Canadian costs right now but is this (http://www.vibecomputers.com/index.cfm?loc=iview&if=n&vID=192065) the stuff you've got cranked right now Evolution???

I'm sittin' on some OCZ (in sig) right now but I'd be more then willing to take a step "down" to some 3700 if most ppl are seeing nice OC results out of it.

[STEvil]

yup, thats its.

www.memoryexpress.com or www.ncix.com might have better prices.

[Cornelious0_0]

Memory Express doesn't have the same stuff, and NCIX actually ends up being $8 more expensive because their charges for shipping/insurance are different then Vibes.

I've got a bud that might be able to hook me up in the states though, 'cus he could just buy 'em off Newegg and I'd pay for shipping and the ram for him. It'd end up costing me about $572 off Vibe after tax/shipping but "only" $510 or so off newegg, including shipping.....after the currency exchange.

I MIGHT be able to work a 1GB kit of this stuff into my budget before the middle of September when I've got a LAN I'm going too, but with the 3.2C, h2O, and new video card on the way too it's kinda tought to say. ;)

It's a bug. The ram would be running 320Mhz (still amazing). But yea any multi with .5 or 4 give bogus results in 1:1

Steve

[p4z1f1st]

@ -realEvolution- : are the RAM at 320MHz stable ? :D

and how high was the voltage ? 3,5V ?

302 MHZ and 3,5 V was the memory prime stable :D

[eva2000]

very nice indeed.. just be careful the vdimm doesn't kill your A64 cpu!

[Violineb]

Sorry to ask foolish questions but what mobo is everyone using for these outrageous FSB/HT speeds?
The Aopen AK89 Max? I'm seriously going to be upgrading my system after selling everything I own, I just need to know what's the best CPU/mobo combo for these speeds. Aopen AK89 Max with a 3400+ mobile DTR? Or should I wait for 939? I have no idea what the difference is though. I've been out of this for a while :p

Hi there.

Thanks for the link Sierra. =)

[Shade00]

Uh oh, the secret's out. I recently came to the conclusion that they used Micron chips after a tested an older Buffalo stick with Micron... it ran up to 220/2.5-2-2-6/2.8v.

[ryanpgroovy]

thats not really the secret

The secret is the spd + the good chips

[STEvil]

What build process do the micron chips use, Shade00?

[Geforce4ti4200]

just read the chart, thats good ram but it runs ras-cas delay of 3 which takes a big performance hit compared to cas-cas of 2 anyway. also its $500+ for 2x512mb sticks, I can get better performance with pc4200 for less by running like 300fsb. youd need 270fsb at ras-cas of 3 to match 300fsb with ras-cas of 4! If thats not true, prove it to me then. eshbash has proved that you need 30fsb to make up for one higher latency in timings. 2----->3 costs 30fsb 300fsb with pc4200 is probably as good as 240fsb with bh5. 5:4 of 300fsb is 240 too.

You may have not read the review thoroughly, or maybe you haven't been following this RAM...but it will run 3-2-2-6 at high speeds with less volts than Winbond memory.

And how many times do we have to go over the fact that 240 2-2-2-5 is faster than 300 3-4-4-8?

[Rancidelephant]

37 i believe is the magic number here :)

anyway Big Daddy Gee its the two numbers in the middle that make the difference, try it yourself.

Run Super Pi @ cas 2 then @ cas 3 .... report back the changes.

[STEvil]

extrem high vdimms (upper ~3,5V) are a reason for voltage fluctuations in the HT-Part of the A64

Oops, you missed something. Trcd is not the only number going up. Trp matters just as match. So if you go up with those two numbers in the middle, you're going to need 360mhz with 3-4-4 timings to match 2-2-2 at 240 with BH-5. That's according to your calculations. So it looks like you're wayyyyyy off.

If I were you, I'd start doing some listening. This very fact has been discussed numerous times.

That really DOES sound like what he's talking about, because a 2x512MB kit of any kind of decent PC3200+ BH5/EB memory IS gonna run you over $500 right now. Silly Canadian dollar..... :rolleyes:

[Geforce4ti4200]

eshbash has tested it out. the other timings matter very little. going from ras-cas delay of 2 to 3 costs 25fsb in performance. all the other timings combined only cost 5fsb. thus 2-2-2-5 at 220fsb was equal to 2.5-3-3-6 at 250fsb. not bad. 3-4-4-8 would need like 280fsb to be equal.

[macci]

Just started playing with these 512MB sticks of OCZ3700EB on my K8N Pro mobo :)
Useing the min. Vdimm my mobo allows (3.27V) I'm at 285MHz 1:1 3-2-2-8-8-16 so far superpi stable :toast:
Lets see how it will do once I start pushing it ;)

[OPPAINTER]

Man, I'm going to have to try this EB stuff.

Macci, does the Cas 3 make much difference in your opinion?

OPP

[macci]

As far as my testing goes CAS2 2.5 or 3 doesn't make any difference at all. I haven't done any clock to clock comparisons with these sticks yet but you'll see if its faster than BH5 in 3DMark ;)
(282x11 (CPU limit w/ 11x) 1:1 should give a nice improvement over my current score)

btw, superpi 1M passed at 291.5MHz 1:1 3-2-2-8-8-16 now - default heatspreaders no extra cooling..

already did but my ic7 maxes at 257-260 (maxes at the same spot with 2x256MB BH5 too). Running 2-2 is just too much for the mem. controller on those boards (even more so with 2x512).
Obvioulsy on A64 boards the board/mem controller ain't limiting the OC that much.

I've actually been wondering this myself. Anyone got some PC3200 EB that they've overclocked? I've seen reviews for the 3500 and 3700, and I was just wondering how the 3200 faired along side them.

Friend of mine had his 3200EB at like 240 or 245Mhz 3-2-2

Hmm, while those are impressive results in themselves (considering the performance of this stuff at CAS3) I think I'd still be more inclined to go with some PC3500 when/if the time comes.

Then you might as well wait for the s900 to mature also since it will replace the s939 early next year.
s900 (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16179)
or you could replace a s939 board with a pci express s939 in a few months :p:
people always talking about waiting it's silly imo,

who buy a new cpu for a old board ? i would say more people buy a new board for a older chip more often.

2x256 do clock better than 2x512

[p4z1f1st]

@ Yuri: that's wrong - the name "Socket900" is just for generalizing the S.9xx


---> Socket900 = Socket939 and Socket940

because: German Hardware-board (http://www.planet3dnow.de/vbulletin/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=163558&perpage=25&pagenumber=1)

use this (http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr) when u aren't able to read german ;)

it's a little bit long, but there are a lot of brains of CPU-designing there ;)


and it would be a "back-step"....why AMD should delete again some pins after adding about 200 to the S754 ? ;)

they could simply left them without function ;)

people always talking about waiting it's silly imo,

who buy a new cpu for a old board ? i would say more people buy a new board for a older chip more often.

:stick:

Don't get me wrong here, I'm NOT one of those people that'll keep waiting, and you kinda blew what I said out of proportion. I'm already in the process of building my water cooled 3.2C (that I'm hopefully gonna push to 4GHz) and I'm gonna be picking up my next-gen video card in a couple months.

I agree that by the time I'm done with my system as I see it today there will be a few new toys out there that I'll want.....and I realise that. The understand that the market will always be like this, but If I'm already working on a system then I don't see what harm there is in saing I want to wait until some of the newer technology matures. At least to give myself a chance to USE my new setup once it's done. ;)

[thecarguy]

Just purchased some EB3700. I got a couple of 512 sticks.

Gunna throw them in my DFI Infinity Ultra.

'Cause I'm still on nForce2 :p:

If you gents want, I can post results too.

[Chris85]

Made a thread for this already, but I still don't know what it really is :confused: My PC3700EB won't run higher than 255Mhz 1:1 Not even at 3.3V. I tried all timings, from SPD to tight timings, but I can't get it to run at high speeds...

Can it be a setting or something? Or is it just that I got some bad memory :rolleyes: I have the Epox 8KDA3+ Vdimm modded.

[STEvil]

could be all your board will do.

[Chris85]

But even if I can run 275Mhz fsb 24/7 stable and 300Mhz for benching? Just have to use a divider then to get it to run, and that way it loses a lot of performance...

[WesM63]

No no you won't. Try it and find out. My optimal settings are with a divider at 256mhz. It crushes 1:1 at 235mhz.

[Chris85]

Just read a thread about OCZ, that some memory is crappy, might be I have some of those sticks :rolleyes:

yep... mobo

[boshi]

so, say I wanted 300HTT. What S754 board do i buy?

[gouda96]

A few people have been hitting 300+ fsb with that mobo. A guy in this forum hit 320. You may have just gotten a bad egg, and might have better luck with another board.

Does anyone know when is the Aopen 250 board coming out?

EDIT-> Coolzero2k1 and some other peole are havign some success with the 8K3a+ in THIS (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36041&perpage=25&pagenumber=3) thread.

What volts and timings are you running on the 3700 EB. I think we are having some unreal excpectations here. If the memory was good for 275fsb we would sell it as PC4400 EB. 233mhz at rated timings of 3-3-2-8 are a given, 275fsb is not.

An HTT speed shouldn't be hard to hit with any board. Now if your talking 300mhz Memeory thats a diffrent story.

[Blaster]

my pair of 3700 EB dont even do 250 FSB on a p4c800 at 3,2 volts

they prolly only good for A64 :(

EDIT: update, well they just crashed after 10 minutes of prime95 blend test at 245, timings 3-2-2-5, 3,2volts.... and yes I have a fan over them

:( ill stop testing them cause i dont wanna get more depressed

That memory works pretty much the same on all systems. Did you read my post above?

I do 250fsb with my 3700 EB 2 x 512mb on a single channel A64 NF3-250 rig at 2.9v. The beauty is the tight tRP and tRCD timings I am running. The bandwidth is excellent. My BH5 does 220mhz with 2.9v

I have not played too much on the Intel myself. I'll throw my off the shelf (they literally pulled it from stock and shipped it to me) 3700 EB in my P4C800 tonight and let you know what I hit. I will only have 2.85v.

What timings are you running?

[WesM63]

Try running them at 3-3-2-7. I'm sure your get at least 250Mhz out of them.

[Blaster]

Originally posted by andyOCZ

why am i so unlucky with memories :(

[andyOCZ]

Yes I agree, run 3-2-2-7. Don't go over 3.1v and have a fan blowing directly on them. If they get too hot it causes errors. I'm not too sure about guys doing over 250fsb. That's hard to believe in dual channel.

[andyOCZ]

Blaster, I tested the 3700 EB on the P4C800D

I hit about 240mhz or so at 3-2-2-7 and 250+ at 3-3-3-7, all at 2.85v.

Try 3-3-2-7 (3-2-3-7-8 the way it shows in bios) and 3-3-3-7 and see what you end up with. You have more volts than I do. Remember it's Intel and the latencies are less important.

:toast:

this is at 3v, with this voltage it does 255 as well

I then tried 260 with no luck

Now its priming at 258 but ive increased the vdimm to 3,23v :D


EDIT: thnx Andy and WesM63

[brwmogazos]

My 3700EB doesnt respond to higher voltage...

3.05 is the same as 3.35V...

2.5 2 2 5 max 242mhz...3 3 3 8 about 260mhz thats metest stable speeds 1:1

Asus P4C800E

I am getting another 2 sticks this week

3700EB again... :D

[Blaster]

the pair i got respond to volts, it does 255 at 3,0 volts

if I increased the vdimm to the max with unmodded PSU (3,26v) the maximum increases to 260 stable for over 2 hours of prime (I stopped the test)

261 fsb its crashs after 5minutes so its maybe 3D stable, 262 prime crashes after 1 min


http://clientes.netvisao.pt/hjosefer/3700EB-260FSB-3,22v.jpg

some scores

http://clientes.netvisao.pt/hjosefer/3700EB-260-scores.jpg


UPDATE: changed the PSU from the unmodded Enermax noisetaker to a superflower with 3.3 line at 3,48 and im priming at 264 :D, at 265 it stops after 2-3 minutes

[RLiu818]

Anyone know if the OCZ EB PC3700 can run stably at 2.5-2-2-10 at 200-210 range?

[gouda96]

Shouldn't be a problem, but you would get higher clocks with 3-2-2 and would lose virtually 0 performance.

even the 3200eb should be able to do that without too much volts (2.8v)

[bias_hjorth]

it should without any problem..

*edit didnt see the above posts :stick:

[bleeder]

Originally posted by Geforce4ti4200
eshbash has tested it out. the other timings matter very little. going from ras-cas delay of 2 to 3 costs 25fsb in performance. all the other timings combined only cost 5fsb. thus 2-2-2-5 at 220fsb was equal to 2.5-3-3-6 at 250fsb. not bad. 3-4-4-8 would need like 280fsb to be equal.

With my Mushkin level one 1x512 at 2.6v, how can I compare the difference of running 218fsb at 2-3-2-11 and 200 at 2-2-2-11?

I tried the Sisoft memory bandwidth benchie, but I don't think thats a good way since its bandwidth, not the timings. The 218 did better there. Also did Super Pi for the heck of it, but 200 gained 2 seconds, since I'm at 9.5 multi atm so 1900mhz vs 2071mhz would be the winner over the timings there I guess.

Comparing fps's from a checkpoint in farcry? Any benchie I should do?

The fsb's in this thread are.........are.... :slobber:

EDIT: nvm, pretty close, but reboot after 5 mins of farcry at 2-2-2 :(
It could still see an improvement at 198 or something, but I cant change the vdimm on my SN45G, and anything under 200fsb on AUTO sets to 2.5v so its a no go. My hope lies in the ocz vdimm thing :)
:toast:

[WesM63]

Not sure what your getting at, but super pi will be faster at 2-2-2 lower fsb, than 2-3-2-11 higher FSB. Just the way Super pi is.

Anyway, either your chip or board is causing your problems, My 3700EB did 220Mhz 2.5-2-2-11 in my NF7-S no problem.

[stevenmh]

Just got my new system fired up, and was able to make it thru 2 passes of memtest at 250 FSB at 10-2-3-3, 2.8v. Installed the OS and tried P95, but it failed right away. CPU was at 2GHz and HTT at 4x, so it wasn't that. Set the mem/CPU to stock and now P95's been going about 30 minutes.

I'll have to play around with it some more, and plan on getting the DDR voltage booster when released, but so far I'm not getting the results I had hoped for. I was thinking 250 MINIMUM at x-2-3-3 and 2.8v.

[STEvil]

218 2-3-2-5/ 218 may be a tad quicker than 2-2-2-5/6 200.. you gotta play around a test stuff.

[geneh_00]

My PC3700 EBs 2x512 does 255 3-3-2-8 1:1 @ 2.8v on my stock 8KDA3+.

while my Mushy PC 3500 2x512 BH-5 does only 215 2-2-2 1:1 @ 2.8v

what?, but your comparing diff timings
your bh5 could use some more voltage ;)

[stevenmh]

Did some more testing since last night. I was able to get P95 to run for 3 hours before crashing instead of 2 minutes at 250 by blowing a fan on the board (it's not in the case right now, it's on the workbench). I was planning on getting the OCZ DDR Voltage Booster when it becomes available, but now I'm wondering if heat seems to be a factor at 2.8v, isn't 3.0v just going to make it worse? Without the fan I can only touch the memory for a fraction of a second, it's that hot.

I set it down to 245, 10-3-2-3, 2.8v, and P95 has been running over 12 hours now. So my limit is somewhere between 246-249, and I'm not sure if it's hitting a ceiling for 2.8v, or if it's getting too hot and more voltage won't matter. I'm going to try 250 again but at 2.7v, and see what happens.

[gouda96]

Are you running it with thea heatspreader attatched, or have you removed it?

[bias_hjorth]

hmm just bougth 2 x 256mb sticks.. not to impressed I´ll say..

does 252mhz (7-2-2-3 at 3.08V) and 273mhz (8-3-2-3 at 3.6v+)
I´ll try some higher volt when running tight timings but only 273mhz at 3.6V with relatively loose timings does not impress me at all.. But hey I got all the weekend to play with this stuff so maybe i´ll improve..

oh its pc3700 btw..:)

[Blaster]

im gonna stop all together of doing prime95

the other day i was running my 3700EB (2x256) at 266, 3-2-3-7 at 3,45 with prime95 for like 4 hours no errors then switched off everything

next day went to prime not changing a thing and after 2 minutes ... error ... I was like "WTF"

... so i went along playing americas army for like 2-3 hours with that settings without a single "critical error"

... and yeah i can run 3d benchs at over 270 so i guess ill just use prime for burnin :p

[stevenmh]

Heatspreaders are attached. Dropping voltage didn't help at all, so I stopped playing around with it for now while I get an idea of what my FX-53 limit will be on water. Once that's done I'll go back and figure out where in the 245-249 range my max is going to be. I guess 245 isn't really too bad, maybe the voltage booster will do some good. Won't hurt to try it I guess.

[Iridium192_217]

thats simply sick

[gouda96]

If they are hot remove the heatspreader. In my experience heatspreaders have insulated the chips more than reduced heat. Then you could cut individual ramsinks out of Cu or Al and that would probably keep them pretty damn cool.

It whould cost way more to OCZ to put all different chips and PCB in them. The difference is just marketing, and sometimes, some RAM's fail, and go down a grade. But if you take all those 3, you should have about the same overclock.

So you should not have problem to do a speed/timing w/ PC3200EB that PC3700EB....

they are not the same and they do not overclock the same.. Allthough the difference isnt that big its there.. :)

[skate2snow]

What do you think, that they will make 3 different RAM's, and rate them differently? The only difference is the warranty, some are rated to do higher, and some to do lower, but at the end they are about the same....

[bias_hjorth]

I know that for a fact.. perhaps same chips but the 3700 are the top of the line ones´ aimed for a certain timing and Mhz testet on a certain number of motherboards

[skate2snow]

And its like saying that OCZ is only taking the top quality Micron 5ns chips..... How do you think they know which are bette before they buy from Micron?

And they wont test the chip like that. They will just test if its able to do the speed/timings they whant, and if it pass, they are PC3700EB, if not, they degrade to PC3500 EB, if it does not pass, they degrade to PC3200EB. And an OCZ rep said that its rare that the chips fail to PC3700 tests. The difference is that they are tested differently.....

[skate2snow]

But, Not much fails. They just take SOME not ALL at PC3700, and some at PC3500, some at PC3200 and if ones fail, they degrade....

that "some" you are mentioning are not randomly choosen.. but yes cant argue with the rest..

[jayl]

just got my 512MB PC-3700 stick yesterday and did some benchmarking straight out of the box.

VDIMM was set to 2.7V(max from bios) but this K8NS PRO overvolts a little so it´s actually 2.75V.
265MHz 3-3-2-8, 2T, benchmarked pifast and superpi 1M
255MHz 3-3-2-8, 1T, benchmarked pifast and superpi 1M
250MHz 3-3-2-8, 2T, superpi 8M

I´ll have to say that I am really impressed what this memory can do, even with 2.75V! I didin´t try running prime95 for stability, just tried some limits first... oh, I also didn´t try any lower latencies but I´ll try them later..
I´ll need to do some burn-in for couple of days and then see what this baby can do... though have to fix vdimm mod today to provide ~3V...

Couldn´t be more happy with this memory....:D
btw. performance is great even with those 3-3-2-8 latencies compared to my BH5 2-2-2-10...
:banana:

has anyone used the A64 tweaker with EB memory? I was just figuring which would be the fastest settings?

[p4z1f1st]

did u get 2x256MB or 2x512MB ?

[jayl]

I´ve got only one 512MB....

[skate2snow]

I think this confirmes what I was thinking. I did a review w/ 2x256(so its SS), and w/ a P4, And the bandwidth was not very good too... But I was at 3 on CAS, its doing a little difference in bandwidth(actually enough big that I found....), and to have 2-2(RAS-RAS to CAS), you have to put 3CAS most of the times, so then the band is a bit debalanced becoze the CAS is higher then the RAS related.... But It should still have a better bandwidth....

[Tony]

EB is all about variable read command and keeping trcd and trp tight using cas2.5 or cas3.

SS modules will always perform with less unbufftered bandwidth on the 875 due to the chipset design needing double sided dimms to perform best, on 939 and NF2 this is not the case although nf2 has a cpc issue with 512's or greater spread over 2 ranks.

[Nyge]

Got my 3700 EB today (2x 512MB). After some quick benching 270 MHz seems stable. Timings where 3.0-2-2-7 and 3.1V. Didn't try any other timings or voltages.
Guess this result is OK. :)

[skate2snow]

BigToe. Why OCZ make all 256MB modules SS? is it more expensive to make?

they should be very good.. allthough some modules like mine :rolleyes: wont go that much further.. It also seems as anything above 3.3vdimm dont do any good.. Been running mine off the 3.3v line (3.3v ---> vdimm mod) which gives me 3.45v - no oc difference at all compared to 3.1v..

[p4z1f1st]

lets see....maybe the OCZ-Booster will bring a special-super-duper-ultra-deluxe-boost especially for OCZ-RAM-sticks :D ;)

then we can reach only with OCZ-RAM >300MHz / 2.5-2-2-5 @ 3.9V :slobber:


....I WANT THAT BOOSTER NOW ! :D

[skate2snow]

Nah, I noticed that at 3.5V I first dont have a little boost at all, and the RAM's start to be unstable. So I think that at 3.9V the RAM's wont last long....

[bias_hjorth]

tried 3.87v for a short time.. ..:slapass: did nothing besides smelling very warm.. :flame:

[p4z1f1st]

oops....deleted now :D ;)

[Chris85]

My PC3700EB isn't very stable...The max I can do is about 230Mhz 3-2-2-10 (Or 2.5-2-2-10, doesn't make a difference) But after that it isn't stable, not even at 3.2-3.4V The max I did for a bench was 275Mhz 3-2-2-10, but not stable at all. (And using 1 stick, the max with 2 sticks is 260Mhz) The strange thing is that there's quite a big difference between 230Mhz max stable and 275Mhz max...Could it be the cooling of my NB, which is still stock cooled by the little cooler, or do I just have some bad Ram, and should I try to sell it and buy some new PC3700EB...

[jayl]

That sounds a bit strange. I think you should perhaps eliminate the possibility of your MB, and/or maybe adding extra cooling to NB.
My PC-3700 512MB EB can do 265Mhz 3-3-2-8, 2T and yesterday I did some bechmarking 3-2-2-7, 1T 245MHz with only 2.75V...
And now it´s prime 7h stable @230MHz@2.75V@3-2-2-7, 1T.
I also noticed that these sticks tend to get very hot when running prime even with 2.75V so is your case cooling proper?

[Chris85]

Yes, the case cooling is ok, I even put a fan on the memory and the room temp was about 20C...I'll do some more testing today, but I think I may just have some bad sticks...

I hoped to run the memory at 250Mhz 1:1 2.5-2-2-10 or 3-2-2-10, but that isn't possible with there, Prime crashes in about 1Min if I run at 250Mhz 1:1 :(

[Nyge]

265 MHz (http://koti.mbnet.fi/hnygard/kuvia/Testituloksia/3700eb265mhz.jpg) 3-2-2-5 is what these sticks do stable with 3.1V. :)
BH-5 sticks would never do this.

[p4z1f1st]

weeehhhh, very nice ! :) :slobber:

and "only" 3.1V :)

are u able to try 3.4-3.5V ? (i suppose, your mobo is vmodded)

Thanks. I'm very pleased with these sticks. They where expensive, but guess they are worth the money :D

Yes I could try more voltages, just don't wanna blow these sticks. :)

I think my dream of 300 MHz is only a dream. Have one problem. I can bench 275 MHz, with 3-2-2-7 or 3-2-2-8 (3.1V), but 280 MHz is no go, even with 3-4-4-11. Dunno what the problem is? Have to find out.

[p4z1f1st]

hmm....3.5V maybe for me ? :D

just wanted to see....but they're your sticks...;)

want to see, if the rumor of "upper-3.2V-doesn't bring alot @ OCZ-EB-sticks" is true.....

I doubt that (in 3d) - the difference ain't that big, but there's a difference. :D

3 clock cycles are 3 clock cycles (3=3╪2)... :rolleyes:

[xgman]

OCZ has tested the EB's above 3v and it doesn't really help any more after that. At only 2.6v I can run stable at 252 or more, sync 3-3-2-7-1T dual ch. (2x512) on a 939 board. I think optimal voltage would probably be 3 or 3.1v at max. Otherwise they will run unnecessarily hot. A fan over them is really almost a must.

p4z: No one as got better from 3V to 3.5V.... I myself didnt got a single MHz from 3.2V to 3.55V...

These RAM's are strange but sure good....

[p4z1f1st]

hm...ok....really good results despite all that....:)

maybe in the next time come PC4000-EB with new/another chips, not just seperated, like the 3500/3700-one :)

My 2 x 512 sticks have gotten better over the course of the past week, must be some kind of burn-in effect.

When I first fired it up a week ago the first thing I did was lower the multi and find the memory limit. Using P95 I determined that it would do 247 @ x-2-3-3, 1T, 2.8v. Trying 248 or trying x-2-2-3 at 247 caused errors in P95 fairly quickly.

Just for giggles I tried pushing it further last night. I still couldn't do x-2-2-3 at 247, but it took 3.5 hours to crash instead of 2 minutes. At x-2-3-3 it ran P95 overnight at 252. I fired up 3DMark this morning...hopefully it'll still be going when I get home. If so, I'll push a little more.

somebody test eb's on DFI s939?

[mcnbns]

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

I've been wondering the same thing as Mrki... Anyone?

[jackolantern]

I have been reading thru this whole thread it's looooong, and I just don't get it. I picked up BH-5 a couple weeks ago. 2x256 HyperX-DDR3500 for 80euro including shipping, It's running at stock voltage @400Mhz 2-2-2-5 Sandra's memory benchie puts it at 5232MB/s this is faster than any I have seen in this thread.

I haven't got to turning up the voltage for a 1:1 overclock, but I don't get what the point is of running CL3@300Mhz if it's only going to be slower!

You run it in DUAL CHANNEL, that's the difference.
BH-5 can't run CL3, and it's not lowering performance alot!
Remember, EB loves CL3, and BH-5 loves CL2.

Yep, it works awsome! This board can supply the needed power, unlike the most NF3 boards.

hmm i look to test it ;)

[thegooner]

I use OCZ 3700EB with my DFI NF4 Ultra-D and it works fine. Using the bios that shipped with the board.

Still testing but have had 262 1:1 3.3.2.8 1T at v2.9

test with 3.1-3.3v ;)

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

damn, my 3500eb is only doing like 265 3-2-2-8-10-15 maybe ill try lower volts?

Try running with only 1 stick of memory in instead of two like people have been doing in this thread, you'll barely get 2600MB/s.

[thegooner]

test with 3.1-3.3v ;)

Yeah I will :)

Is that a weak attempt at humour? :rolleyes:

(thread resurrection again :D)

can you post some A64 tweaker pics with your timmings?? I´m have some problems to get my EB doing just 250 3-3-2-5.... :(

[killingspreez]

that's not that impressive....okay this RAS2 @ 3xxmhz is amazing but with tccd based memory u get much higher bandwidth and u don't need that crazy amounts of volts :)

look at this, also s754 singechannel :

:stick:
this thread began in june-2004!! in that time EB was really good (and for me I think this mems still are good) and I think nobody knew what was a tccd chip...lol

somebody picked this thread sometime ago (march-2005) and I picked it again just to ask people to put some pics with timings with this mems and DFI NF4 939....
and... what bios do ya use with this mems.

[killingspreez]

ah okay sorry :)

mfg

[cujo]

no one has a64 tweaker screenies? i just got this board as well. 250 seems stable with all timings on auto at 2.8v.

[iboomalot]

mine runs 256 at 3-3-2-8 in dual channel
