Hi, i want to know if i'm using this kind of memory i'm running asincronous or sincronous (it's running 1:1 at bios).
Thank you.
pc3000 can't run 1:1 on a64.

So it isn't running at 239? :(
At what frequency is it running?
thank you!

yea its running at 239....you must have bh-5/ch-5 or some hynix based modules.
Are you sure it's pc3000 then? I know charlie couldn't run it 1:1 with his.

They are PC3000 Kingston HyperX with BH-5 ic's. So they are trully doing 239 or they are running asynchronous?
Thank you really much!

i have the same chips....yes its 239. cpu-z says the memory frequency at 239.
@bh2k...pcXXXX is just a rating. If gskill TCCD was rated at pc2100 (lafs) its not like they wouldnt hit 300mhz....

So that freq. is true? I usually couldn't go over 223 with 3.15v at my AN7...

SisoftSandra Mem-bench will tell you. If you get 3700-3800MB/s its running at 239Mhz.
My old Kingston KHX3000 did 270 2.5-2-2 easy on A64, no problems. Tho, some mobos are having trouble running PC2700/3000 1:1

I think they can't run 1:1 only in socket 939... 754 can do it.
I couldn't run hyper X PC3000 1:1 on my MSI Neo 2 but using A64 tweaker I could do it.

sandra result is 3638, with some programs opened.
So this seems to be all right or not? I'm a newbie on A64 and all it's "problems" :P
Thank you.
EDIT!:3638 was my result with a PC3200 Kingston HyperX BH-5 module (1x512)
My result with PC3000 is 3615, so it seems to be all OK!
Da.n, i should have asked a bit more of 225€... :P

Yeah I talked about this about charlie a few months ago because I was worried I wouldnt be able to use it. Must have been an old problem because just like he said they would, they worked fine. In fact my Chaintech even loaded optimized defaults to 200 1:1. As soon as I saw the PC3000 in the title I knew it had to be BH5's..... but good luck to you if you have 2*512. I have no problem setting them 1:1 but 1T however, bad news, mine don't like it at all.
