OCZ VX - Burn in...

[cinders]

What voltage should I start burning these sticks in at?...

I was thinking of starting them at 3.2v, is this too high?

[conrad.maranan]

This is what I did during the first day of burning-in my VX: link (http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=618733#post618733)

[cinders]

I see you said you ran yours in at 3.5v, did you start off at that voltage for your first run?...

[conrad.maranan]

Nope. I started at 2.85VDIMM and just worked my way up. Remember, these modules can push 3.5VDIMM + 5% and still have their warranties in tact. ;)

[cinders]

How long did you stay at each voltage for before pushing up?... I might start at 3.0v and work up, maybe burn in for a few days at 3.4v before really pushing it. What do you think?

[conrad.maranan]

I was at each step for 20 loops of Memtest plus a Super PI 2M run. Before my memory controller and DDR Booster conked out on me, I was running 260MHz 2-2-2-10 with 3.6VDIMM.

The strange thing is I can now run 235MHz 2-2-2-10 with only 2.85VDIMM. This would have been impossible a few days ago.

[cinders]

Maybe it's still burning in?...

I'm going to burn mine in over night at 2.85v (haven't installed the ddr booster yet) with the highest FSB I can manage at tightest timings.

[SteveOCZ]

Start at 3.3V for your burn in

[bacon]

lol i started at 3.4v :slobber: when i stuck them in 3 1/2 hours ago
2-2-2-5 at 250 mem test stable 20 loops, then did 260 2-2-2-5 with 3.5v 20 loops memtest stable

tryed 270 with 3.6v but no go, letting them burn in atm with prime torture test at 255 x 10 with 3.4v with a 3500NC

[SteveOCZ]

3.4V is good too :D

[aCidbAbY]

wow well i hope you do better than most!

[bacon]

wow well i hope you do better than most!

thanks aCidbAbY :) im mighty impressed so far steveOCZ, congrats to you guys

3.4v seems good for 255 2-2-2-5 so guna keep it there for a while, may drop it to 3.3v after a few days at 3.4v see if it can still pass memtest etc

edit: what they good for 24/7 use steve?...is 3.4v alrite and within that beauty of an OCZ warranty? ;)

[SteveOCZ]

Mine have been burning in since the day I got them at ~3.4V and no problems :)

Remember to put a fan over them though

[cinders]

I started burning in at 3.3v, upping the FSB slightly and running memtest test#5 for 30 passes until it fails...

Got to 255Mhz @ 2-2-2-10 1T when memtest starting showing errors. I thought I'd get a couple, but I got thousands, at pass 8 I had 6793 errors, pass 28 I had 66,654 errors...

I left it working away like this for 4 hours. Rebooted, re-run the test and the errors had reduced slightly...

This time at pass 28 I had 34,965 errors so errors had just about halved.

I left it over night, this morning before work I rebooted and re-run memtest #5... At pass 8 I had only 8 errors... Had to leave for work but last glance I was on pass 23 with 4873 errors. Last night on the 2nd run it was showing 27,746 errors at pass 23 so the errors are definately reducing...

This is going to take a long long time to do, but I'm going to keep repeating this method for the next week or so until I hopefully push the FSB up some more...



Just wondering when I should start pushing the voltage to the memory up or when I should start increasing memory to the vCore to help the mem controller?...

I've hit 300 FSB in memtest before with my 4200EL so I guess my board is good and my mem controller.

Does anyone else have any advice about this burning in stage?...

It looks like it's working to me so far... :D



.

[cinders]

Well I went home at lunchtime, rebooted the machine and re-ran memtest at the same FSB, no errors at pass 25 when I left to come back here!...

This burn-in is definately working for me, last night at pass 23 there were 27,746 errors, this morning at 23 there was 4873 errors and now at lunchtime there are none!

Hopefull when I get in tonight there will be none and I'll up my FSB by 1Mhz. I'm going to do 1Mhz at a time from now on, I want the most out of this ram even if it takes weeks.

[cantankerous]

I hope it works out for you cinders. You must have felt like a million bucks when you saw none. I never was a believer of burning in ram but now I'm convinced from my own testing. My VX last night errored like crazy at anything over 240 with 3.3v on my NFII DFI. I let it run for awhile and last night memtested 180 passes at 242 with NO errors. This morning I raised up to 243 and ran 167 passes with NO errors. Last night anything over 240 errored in the thousands as well. With my board being limited to 3.3v and no compatibility with a booster I am getting close to the end of my testing until I get a new board. I am going to try 244 this afternoon at 3.3v for at least another 160 passes. I hope it passes!

Does 243 at 3.3v sound like my chips are half decently strong? Hard to tell as others are getting 250 at 3.2 =/. I don't think these chips are holding up as well as my BH-6. My BH-6 could do 246 at 3.3.v. I hope after a good burn in the VX will surpass.

[cinders]

I hope it works as well!... Still I'll be happy with 250 @ 2-2-2-5 1T which it can do at the moment no problem.

It is crazy stuff this memory!

I think the key is just to keep burning it in and burning it in.

I'm going to keep mine burning if I see the errors decreasing... ie. If I hit 260 and get a few thousand errors, then run it over night and they decrease I'm just going to running it until they've gone - even if it takes days and days... I'm in no rush...

This memory is like a fine wine... :toast:



Da Cinders.

[DevilsRejection]

I always let my memory burn in for a week or so, and I want to reach your goal as well


250 @ 2-2-2-5 1T

[cinders]

Well all get there in the end! The threads maybe a bit slow with updates, but -hopefully- it'll be worth it!

I jusr getting worried leaving my machine unattended with all the power I'm putting through different components. Keep thinking it's going to explode! Or I come home to find my house burnt down!

strange as i got the same feeling leaving my mem with 3.5v through it memtesting away, thinking what if my fan fails/moves and it burns out my comp

ah well im not worried im assuming the worst that can happen is the booster burns (warrentied) and the mem burns (also warrentied)

In my oppinion Memtest is better to burn in Ram.

I measured temperatures a while ago and Memtest gave me 4 degrees more than Prime95 @ 4096K.

yeh iv been using memtest over night at 3.4v, but it chucked up errors at 255, so wasnt stable for a prolonged period, have been testing tho at 260 with 3.5v and that is stable ;)

[cantankerous]

hehe you guys will be happy with 250. Why not shoot for the Gold and hope for 260? I hope my sticks can do that. Anything less and i will be sad.

Anyhow time to burn in some more. Must get 244 at 3.3v error free.

[jjcom]

how would this stuff do on an AN7 board. I know old tech the NF2, but thats where I still am...mmm...

jjcom

[cantankerous]

I'm running the stuff on my DFI NF2. It is doing ok though nothing special with lack of voltage and a weak chipset. I can memtest 243 2-2-2-10-12-14 at 3.3v for hours without a single issue. Anything higher I get a few errors here and there that I hope to burn out over time. The max volts on the AN7 is 3.4 isn't it? I think the booster works with that as well, not sure but have a look into it. If you have a strong chipset that can keep up with the high speeds it should do alright. I only got the ram now while it was available and cheap. I plan to use it on a better setup when I can get an a64 board.

If you do get this ram let me know how it holds up. If you don't have any BH based memory this is your best bet by far.

[jjcom]

I wish I knew what type of RAM I have....its either CH-5 or Hynix I believe...this board I have is bad...I mean really bad. There is no voltage ajustment for anything but the CPU

So at 255 memtest through up errors?... and at 260 it didn't?!.....

How many errors were you seeing at 255?...

I've hit a brick wall at 255 the errors in mem test seem to reduce, but then last night they were back up again!... Maybe I should try 260 and cross my fingers!

I can hit 254 at 2-2-2-5,7 & 10 with no problems at all but as soon as I go to 255 (2-2-2-10) I get errors, this is a vDimm 3.2v-3.3v-3.4v-3.5v - have also tried pushing my vCore up to 1.70v but no luck!...

It's still working away at 255 on memtest #5 and I'll leave it that way for the next week or so, hopefully it'll make a difference but my hope is fading now...

Still I did a benchmark last night at 246 2-2-2-5 x 12 = 2952 and got a SuperPi time of 28s which beats my previous 29s.

If I can't get any more out of this memory I'll still be happy with it because I've returned my 4200EL and got £279 back for it and the VX only cost me £159 so I've gained some performance and got £120 in my back pocket....

basically with 3.4v it is memtest stable at 250, i tried 255 over night looping and through 2 errors every few cycles after it did the first 30 or so

3.5v was enough for 260 but i ahvent yet left it voer night looping will do so tonight and report back

[cinders]

Mine throws up thousands of errors, bah!... I think I've hit the fastest these will go.

However, I do have an older K8N board so I've just ordered a new one, hopefully it'll be one made in November with the0 438A2chipset made in Taiwan - I'm going to give it a try anyway.

I know what you mean! I couldn't be bothered removing my heatsink either after I've just but AS5 on it and put it all back in the case when I read the thread about the chip revisions!

Mine actually came with 1.2 bios on it and I got it in October, however the box it came in was battered, tatty and looked very old - I'm sure this was probably one of the first ones out - I'm going to check the serial number tonight...

[DevilsRejection]

where do you check the serial number? don't tell me under the chipset fan!

[[ r2 ]]

where do you check the serial number? don't tell me under the chipset fan!

On the box, should be something like K0409xxxx ot K0410xxxxx

To check the stepping of the chip you need to take the NB off.

I bought some VX Ram from my local Fry's and have popped the sticks in last night. I am stable up to 245 at 2-2-2-5 at the current moment and wanted to ask how long it took before you started to see your RAM ramp up? I have a G.Skill kit that couldnt do 300 with my processor (I think it is my processor's fault) so I decided to try 266 x 9 with the VX as my happy point. I know my processor can do 266, so I would like to make it to that level. I can be patient at times, I am curious how long did it take before you all got to the 250+ level. Thanks to everyone for all of their help. Here is my latest Memtest loop...

mine finally made it to 260mhz:) after alot of work and time

[orig3n]

I burned my VX in at 3.2vdimm then went upto 3.5vdimm after a while, it was good for 260 2-2-2-10 :) but i cant say thats the limit as my MSI board didn't like going above 260 even with dividers.

I started my burn in at 3.4V. I am currently at 3.6V with 247 stable. I hope I have not burned in improperly. I also was hoping to get 260 out of this.

how much gain have you seen from your modules dude?

[aCidbAbY]

they started out at 245-250 then burned up to 255, then i got water and my cpu went higher (2.67ghz), ram followed it to 260. once my memory controller was cooler with the water the ram clock went up. lol my theory:D CPC on BTW :toast:

[Type M]

That is great to hear. I was wondering how well my VX might burn in. I am at 248 now and 250 isnt too far as I get about 12 errors each pass. I think it will stablize soon.

[Supertim0r]

just installed mine
started @ 250fsb 2-2-2-10 @ 3.4v, error free :)
how long should i burn it before pushing the fsb ?
i wish it could do 260fsb :slobber:

[conrad.maranan]

Go up another notch and try 255MHz. Keep bumping it up until you notice errors, and then drop it back down to the last error-free setting and burn it in overnight.

p/s: I love your signature. It's the truth...and the reason why I just handed my HL2 to my nephew.

[BerT]

Does burning in the ram works for every ram...

Lets say
Ocs pc 4000 or corsair bh on an old nf2 lanparty dfi ?


Where can i find some theoretical explaination of burning in the ram ?

Hi

My memory is stable test #5 & 8 10hrs+
but i get 10 errors in test #6 ???

250x10 2-2-2 @ 3.4V

burned last night/day... :confused:

is the OCZ Booster voltage accruate ?

[MarilynMX]

Last time my booster worked, before the highest I've ever reached was 255 2-2-2-8/10 1T

[Joe Camel]

ya, mine wont boot with anything other than 1:1
BUT i was able to "trick" it into using a divider by using a .5 multy...something to think about.


i know, :off: but since it was brought up...

[googles]

guys, i did about 100 passes of test#5 and got about 40 errors.
theyre at different passes, sometimes i get 2 errs, sometimes 4 errs, sometimes none.

however ive noticed that the errors ALL share the same error bits at different memory addresses.

is this indicative of something more sinister?

comments much appreciated. thanks.

[googles]

anyone??

[DevilsRejection]

try this, drop the multi to like 7 and re-run your memtest.

your mem controller might be weak as sh*t. if it is still failing then yes your memory might be messed up.

[googles]

im just curious as to why all errors are showing 02000000...it used to be different bits..

[Rabbi_NZ]

Different tests stress different bits usually.... lower you RAMHz a little and see if it goes away.

The idea of burning in is to run them where there are NO errors for 12hours+, then see if you can get higher.

[conrad.maranan]

You can also try moving the modules around: If module #1 is in slot #1, move it to slot #2. Move module #2 to slot #1.

[googles]

ok will try those. thx rabbi and conrad.

Do you have dedicated fans cooling the memory and Booster? If not, take care of that because a few errors here and there could be related to the heat.

i'm currently at 260 @ 3.6v, on vapo FX55. i ran 50 passes at 260, then went to 261 and got thousands of errors. i've burned the ram in with memtest a few times, but i've also found the memory burned in fine at 2-2-2 settings @ 200, when i left the computer on for a day folding. i was at 255 before i left it folding, came back and 257 was magically stable. spent the next 2 days making my way up to 260.

i'm having trouble with stability though, i blue screen often in windows, even when i scale the cpu multi down to stock speeds. i'm thinking it's the neo2 not handling htt > 220 very well. i'm pretty sure it's mobo since memory and cpu never were subjected to high voltages. i'm patiently waiting on the dfi board so i can burn this neo2. btw, in case you're wondering it's a newer neo2 and behaves the same way as my old neo2.

[cantankerous]

Awesome Trans Am. How long did it take you to get those speeds and are they stable? Did you get these speeds right off the bat or did you burn in and for how long?

Just curious. Thanks.

[cantankerous]

hehehehe. So how long did it take to burn in your ram to get those speeds? What voltage do you need to get 264 and how long did memtest run error free at those speeds?

Sorry for my rambling just wanting to see what to shoot for with my vx when i finally go A64.

[trans am]

Well, it's semi stable. THis is a suicide cpu run. The VX will do 265 fine, but my cpu isn't stable at 10*265. I could post 265x9, but that's no fun... I really wanted to show everyone my new xs bumper sticker! lol, I don't support suicide screens, but in this case I'll let let it slide. I started out with the vx at 240 and then worked to 250 then 260 wasn't stable so I burned in at 255 then after a while they would do 260 memtest stable. It looks like they still want to go. this is the most fun I've ever had with memory! even more than BH5/BH6. because you can run 2x512 much higher! when's the last time you saw BH5 do this with 2x512? ;)

It took a few weeks of normal use and an initial 24hr loop of test5. Just get it stable at it's highest and run your system like you would normally. play a game here and there, go on xs, etc.. and try again in a week. it will just keep going! right now I am at 3.4vdimm. 3.5 is about the same, but 3.4v is plenty for 24/7 use. VX is binned up to 240mhz, but you see a lot of 250 and some doing over 260. just be patient with it and it will be nice to you.

[mikead_99]

Nice results there TA! And encouraging for me too. Mine have been OK with 260 MHz and 3.6V right outa the box, but burning them didn't seem to take them any higher. (265 passed memtest86+ but not Win memtest) 260 2-2-2 is pretty sweet so I wasn't unhappy, but it's been a few weeks now of folding and games and whatever, maybe I oughta try for more again.

[trans am]

Yeah, get back into memtest86 and give her another try! :toast:

[Rabbi_NZ]

From day one mine did 260 @ 3.3v (3.35v actual), but constant burnin has not gained me a single stable MHz at the 3.3v setting... although it may have increased the performance at lower volts. They do 248 @ 3.1v no problem now, but I didnt test at 3.1v to begin with... may do a 3.0v test tonight to see if they do much past 220 (the previous limit).

Wish I could give them 3.5v!

Maybe its jus my board/memory-controller that are maxed

[trans am]

Well even if they don't do anymore. 260 is really awesome! you should be happy! :)

[cantankerous]

That is what I am hoping mine do. 260 minimum. If they could up to 264 I would extatic. Please say mine can do 260!

I can only test on my NF2 board which is crap. I can do 3.3v but the chipset is weak and doesnt play well with these sticks. The highest I can get them stable in memtest at 3.3v is 243. Anything higher and I start to get errors. That is 2-2-2-8-12-14.

[trans am]

nf2 isn't the best for 2x512. what do they do 1 stick at a time?

update:::i got my new set today from frys burning in now :toast:

[jikdoc]

wow rabbi, your sticks sound golden. 260 off the bat at 3.3 is really good. i'd guess your mem controller is at it's max, especially since you're able to run at lower volts after burning in.

I know NF2 isn't the best but unfortunately this is all I have. I am not doing the greatest burn in but I guess anything helps. As soon as I go A64 my ram would have already taken a beating and should hopefully see it scale much higher.

The weird thing is this. My 2 X 512 OCZ BH-6 do much better on this board than this ram. I can get those up to 246 error free in memtest as opposed to 243 with the VX. The VX should scale higher on a better board however... I hope.

Wondering... never was proven either way but isn't 3.4v on your ram a lot for mem controller on the cpu? Will this cause premature damage?

[trans am]

Like I said, what do they do one at a time? You should try just to see, this will give you a better idea of what is holding you back. Acidbaby, lets see some more vx action! is ocz gonna take care of you? or did you void them?

[bobmanfoo]

is burn in really neccessary if you are in no rush to find the max OC? say find a stable OC and play games, encode/decode media, bench, etc for a week then try a higher speed?

exactly. just get it as high as it will go without erroring and run it at that for a week or so and go back.

i just got a new kit from frys and i am going to take back the old kit so they can rma it for me:) already burnin in now@ 240 3.2 for 15 hrs now bumping up to 250 @ 3.2 error free:) hoepfully i will be able to get lower voltage on these sticks!

[cantankerous]

Is it possible to ruin what your sticks could possibly do by bumping up too high of voltage and running too fast of speeds right off the bat? Running 240 @ 3.2v for 15 hours then going up sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately for me I jumped straight to 3.3v and 245.

I am going to try with one stick and see what I come up with. I hope there isnt a big difference between what each stick can individually do.

yeah im back up so far i got

240 3.2v <<<original burnin 15hrs to start out and test,
250 ^^
254 3.3v
256 ^^

acidbaby, have you tried 2-2-2-7-10-14? or 2-2-2-8-10-14? see if you get a boost in bandwidth. I noticed a huge gain.

a huge gain over 2-2-2-10-10-14?
to be honest there is no way in heil I can run trfc of 14, 15 is my lowest.

[cantankerous]

Same here. Anything over 15 and all hell breaks loose. Kinda sucks. My BH can do 14 at most sometimes even 12 depending on the fsb.

cant even do stock timeings and voltage..:(
