How Far Can Your OCZ 3700EB go?

[Korpse]

hi,
FIRST POST! :D

I would like to know (if you peeps still have any EB :p: ) how far you can get it and at what timings MemTest #5 Stable?

I am asking as im finally getting a 3400NC and want to be able to run 10x260 1:1 - I know my EB can do 260 3-3-2-8 on this 3200CH but with any luck on a better mem controller maybe 265 is possible :toast:

Cheers for any feedback
XS Noob, Korpse

mine did about 260 stock timmings stable, but i could post up to 270.

Welcome to the forums btw

[Radelon]

My 3500EB does 3-2-2-5 up to 270. I have seen some reach above 290.

[skate2snow]

Around 270MHz 3-2-2-7 is the average.. But some Goes WAY higher...

[situman]

I think thats for single stick. DUal stick is most likely very poor as the newer AMD chips or mobos dont like micron chips, so I've heard/read

[Korpse]

im on S754 so its ok - new 939 boards hate EB! :D
but S754 seems kewl with it - speciallly as i have a dfi ut nf3 :D

[GazC]

EB doesn't work well on most MSI K8N Neo2 mobos, so bear that in mind if you are planning on going 939 at any point.

[situman]

if i were u, i would sell them before it depreciates even more. Its very hard to sell EBs now a days.

[mcnbns]

The only reason it's hard to sell is that EB is better than people give it credit for. People freak out and sell their old "bad" RAM whenever a new type of RAM comes out.

[Korpse]

so true mate

i got a free 1gb of it accidently and was liek woot thats a free £200 :D
i ended up selling it for £110 :( cos that bloody VX came out

w/ 3400 CH + K8N Pro (3.3V 'kyosen Vdimm mod'):
512MB EB3700
SuperPi 1M@ 295 (http://www.akiba-pc.com/e107_images/articles/ocz3700eb/ocz_3700_295_spi1m.gif)MHz 3-2-2-8, 3.3V Vdimm, fan on top of ram.

Didn't run 3Dmark at that speed. Never tried memtest w/ this either.

[eva2000]

i had 2x 512MB OCZ PC3700EB DC Kit, one stick did 255mhz one did 250mhz

had 2x 512MB OCZ PC3700EB singles, one did 255-265mhz and one did 280-285mhz

[I²K]

260MHz 3-2-2 1:1 on a KV8.

[Boogotop]

mine does 295 3/3/2/10 on Giga NF3 754 with 3.4v but can pass 240 on Neo2

[SliNGky]

My 1gig EB PC3700 does (at 2.9vdimm) 240MHz @ 3-2-2-11 1T... my ram suck as I see....

Cya,
SliNGky

[jjcom]

Maybe not, your running a lower voltage than those people. So thats not too bad for those volts

jjcom

[SliNGky]

ok!.. and I just see than my board (Chaintech VNF3-250) undervolt my ram to 2.84v...

[mcnbns]

I was just playing around today and I almost got a screenshot with my PC3500 EB at 250MHz 3-2-2-6 in my NF7-S today. This mobo is holding me back... Maybe I need to upgrade sometime. :)

[jjcom]

bah, why would you want to leave the good 'ol AXP...you can always overclock on the processor through the roof...then buy another one with out loseing credit card privliges lol

jjcom

[WesM63]

3700EB 2x256mb does 258mhz on A8V in DC.

I have a Booster on the way for some 3v+ action.

[Korpse]

i tested 1 stick of 512mb last nite and it did 265 stable for hours at 3.3vdiumm at 3-3-2-8 timings and then i booted an benched (Everest) at 285 :D

but whole 2 sticks together on this cpu only do 258 :(

[Zeus]

Has anyone ever pushed EB to or over 300MHz with 3-2-2-x timings?

[Mrki]

2x256 EB 3500 3.1VDimm

[Dojo | Warlord]

OCZ 3700EB, 240 FSB, 3-2-2-11 1T, 3.3vdimm, K7/NF2 -- XP-M/Infinity.


memtest/pi 32M stable.

Now in my backup system.

[Tony]

I have hit 290 3-2-2- on a modded epox 9nda3+ with 3.4Vdimm using 2x512. I have a feeling I may see 300 with the new generation of NF4 and ATI chipset boards im now testing.

Remember a lot has to do with cpu memory contrllors also ;)

[WesM63]

Bigtoe,
I'm working on A64 tweaker and 3700EB if you know some good settings could you pm me?

I should have some results with a Gigabyte K8NF-9 NF4 board in the near future, hopefully my booster works in it. :D

[Korpse]

update - im currently *Stable* (windows, i havent memtested yet) at 285 3-3-2-8 on 1 stick of 512mb

im going for 290+ 2nite

[SliNGky]

With how many voltages on your memory?

Thanks,
SliNGky

[SnipingWaste]

What I have is not OCZ EB but my Buffalo 3700 uses Micron -5C. I can do 267 3,3,2,5, T1 with 3.3 volts but I leave it at 250 2.5,2,2,5, T1. Its a single 512 stick and the mobo is the bottle neck with a max HTT of 267. I beleave it will do more with a mobo with higher HTT at 3.3 volts.

[Elisha]

2x512 3500EB 280mhz 3-2-2-10 @ 3.4v on an50r and dfi nf3.
i think my C0 is limiting me.

[Korpse]

With how many voltages on your memory?


i adjusted my Powerstreams 3.3v rails to around 3.6 and am using the vdimm bios for my DFI UT so i was around 3.38 as Klisp said not to go to 3.4 if not using a fan (which im not) - when i use a fan tho im going for 3.4 and 265mhz :D

[mcnbns]

I was trying out some stuff with ClockGen today (school is cancelled because of freezing rain), and I got a screenshot of my PC3500 EB doing 250MHz 3-3-2-8 @ 3.3V. I still think my mobo is holding me back, but it's not bad for nForce2.

[Korpse]

nice work :D

[Tony]

My EB seems to love the tightest settings I throw at it as long as i use cas3. At 290 i was running 3-2-2-0 with TRC at 7 and TRFC at 14 with bypass max at 7 for some huge bandwidth ;)

[Korpse]

coudl you post or pm me how to optimise my memory settings for when i get my 3400NC?

as i really have no clue

cheers

[mcnbns]

I did a little more messing around with different BIOSes and raising chipset voltage to 2.0v and finally got 254MHz, 3-2-3-8 with 3.3V.

None of this is stable because of this motherboard, though. :( I shudder to think what this stuff could do on an Athlon 64 system. :banana:

[repi]

hi, thats my fist post here at xs.org :)
i'm getting some 3200EB on Saturday, and i hope i can post some huge results. I already had some 3200Eb earlier, and they reached 244/2.5-2-2-5/2.9V -- limited by my mobo :(
This ones now, made 265 by my friend, but dont know what timings. I'll test and post.

btw: great Forum here, hope you understand my English.

[Korpse]

^
Hope it goes well :D

but cant you get some 3700EB or VX for that same money?
that is if your paying full rate :D

[Korpse]

YES!!!
these babies are fully stable at 250@2.5-2-2-6 :D :D :D

im running 250x9 - im happy now

3.36v

[WesM63]

:banana: Booster is here :) We'll see how it does with some 3.3v action :D

[mcnbns]

:toast: to both of you. :)

hey bigtoe can you post a screenie of you A64 tweaker at that mem speed?
just curious cause i can get 280 3-2-2-10 stable but any looser timing it craps out.
i just want to see you other timings at 290mhz plus is it 2x512mb or 2x256mb?

[WesM63]

Well with he booster and only 1stick of EB it does around 270mhz with 3.3vdimm.

This was on a 10x multi 3200+ winnie, i'll lower multi and go at it again.

BTW, booster works on K8NF-9, i tried 3.9vimm but dunno if thats what I was actually getting or not.

[repi]

no Korpse, because i'm only paying 210€ for GB-Kit.
btw: i got them yesterday, and one stick doesn't work :( , fu** i hope i'll get another GB-Kit of them from RMA.
didn't test the other one yesterday, because i've been terrible angry.
