I'm looking for some of the highest DDR benchmarks out there. If anyone has seen any higher then this one with my Kingston PC3500 256Mb, please post them up :)
I Need to know for some review info.

I hope the commerically available sticks will go as good as that one there OPP :eek:
Not like the OCZ EL DDR thing which went like to 250 in the review and the one I am trying now will not even do 230 at the same board as they used ... in my IT7 its overclockability is between the Corsair 3200 and 3500. Nothing extraordinary as the review samples would suggest :rolleyes:
Me too, I'm trying to get a off the shelf stick.Quote:

JC,
BTW: pretty nice score posted on the ORB by Swiftech;)
They made it into the Top 10, not bad :D

Kingston doesn't play the "special game"
For all you gamers out there, go for it! Be brave. You will find Kingston's quality "premium" and the same across the board. I can't speak on behalf of other manufacturers out there, but I can promise that the samples that **** has received from Kingston are the same as those sent to Fry's Electronics and soon to be other retailers.
It would not do us any good if we were to send out special modules and have you gamers out there have problems or issues. We would lose our reputation big time.
Happy Gaming!

Very sweet OPP, thats just an amazing bench. :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:
Nice score they got indeed OPP :)
Sweet, i'll be getting one of those blocks :)Quote:

For that low of a Card overclock I think the Asus acually put out some power in the Benching. Iknow as fact that the memory was only running at 223Mhz 2-5-2 timings. The Asus might be a nice toy.Quote:

That is a Corsair XMS3200 C2 on an Asus P4B533-V. That is all I got from the owner of this benchmark. I'm not sure if its legit or not.
http://users.on.net/nlinh/HW/M190.JPG
That is my friend's OC: Asus P4B533-V, Corsair XMS3200 C2.5, 2.85V, no mod at all. Timings are as what shown in the screenshot. CPU is a 1.6A @ 190x16. He has another screenshot at 191 or 192x16 but I can't find it atm. The score is 391x/391x IIRC.
http://users.on.net/nlinh/HW/XP-252-RAM.gif
That is what I found on a Chinese/Taiwanese HW site (can't remember the name atm) from one of their reviews. CPU is a 1800+ cooled with LN2. Mobo is EPox 8K5A2+. RAM is A-Data PC3200, Vdimm is 3.2V. Timings are 2-5-2-2.
OMFG that bw is hoooooooooooooge Niko...
Holy Cow, I like that LN2 AMD score :D

its done w/ a XP1600 =)
here's some more about that OC:

Well this isn't sandra but it is stable obviously... @ 259mhz DDR.... now, the system DDR is LN2 cooled... I'm sure that helps a bit :)

i may have to pick up some of these kingston hyperx pc3500s
JCviggen ,
You know that the samples for the OC prices review and in fact most OCZ product reviews were all purchased through retail I assume ?
Not every single stick is going to do DDR500 speeds though , not of any brand , never.
I would even go as far as to guess your comparing our 512 to a corsair 256. I could be wrong but 472 at 2-7-3-2 sounds good for a 512 PC-3500 to me .
The way I look at it, a DIMM should be able to run its rated speed @ the suggested timings, period. If it does that, I'd say its done its job. However, if there's other modules out there rated @ similar speeds yet perform better for a similar price, now which one do you think I'm going to buy? ;)
I'm not partial to any memory mfr. I've owned Crucial, Samsung, & Corsair now as far as performance memory goes, & I'll buy OCZ someday too prolly if its the top dog :)
Be cool, ryanpgroovy, plenty of ppl love OCZ memory :D
thanks
Who???OC2?
I have the exact same stepping as them Agoia 41F0204 but i've killed it (need to recheck as TheDude suggested) :( :(Quote:

Guys please DITCH the buffered scores as they PROVE NOTHING!! they scale with fsb and as such cannot be trusted.Just bench unbuffered and show how fast the ram really is.Also show a sceeny of memtest86 at startup as this shows an unbuffered test too.
I am a reseller and have been selling memory for sometime now. We use to sell Corsair memory but dumped it because OCZ just beats Corsair in top quality and performance. We didn't want our customers thinking they were getting the best when we knew something out there is better and usually less money. Ram is very important and we want our customers to have the best ram out there...period.
Hardco1,
Welcome to Xtreme :)
See, ryan :p

Hmmmm no they're both 256 meg sticks
BTW, why is the SPD on these modules left completely blank? Would be nice if at least the name would be in there like Corsair does... I'm not actually a big fan of Corsair dont get me wrong.
I just noticed on that site with the review there was an OCZ ad, but no ads from any other of the memory companies used in the review. When it then turns out that very very few sticks on the market will be hitting 500 DDR, but rather 460-470, thats food for some thought...
Geil is the same.
A little OCZ luvins for Ryan. Not as high as the others, but still pretty darn good.
http://thecrucible.ca/images/OCZ_cpuz_484.jpg
lol
JC I really think the average is 480 -490
I dont see any ads there ?
I don't know about this Ryan. Maybe it is, maybe not.Quote:

I bought the stick last week, which JC's using now.
I got his Corsair 256MB PC3500 stick while he got my new OCZ 3500.
On his IT7, he could run 240Mhz, 2-7-2-3, Enhanced ON with the Corsair stick but not with the OCZ stick.
Maybe the stick needs a good burn-in, who knows.
I managed to run memtest at 224Mhz, 2-7-2-2, without errors, so that's a good sign. But I couldn't 3dmark at 230Mhz, 2-7-2-2.
Every stick of memory is different. Some will oc like mad, some others won't. Matter of luck, I guess.
Only time will tell if it's really that good as they say it is.
I know that I won't reach that high because of my cpu :D
But it's a good start.
It would be nice if we knew what chips are used. I suppose it's not Winbond.
Can you tell us more about this Ryan?

Is it just me or is OCZ just easier to get in canada?, I cant find anyplace selling corsair in canada, I'm trying to get off the shelf samples of both brands to test in my 1.6a/IT7 setup. I work for a small computer reseller and want to carry one or the other brands, OCZ seems to be a lot cheaper up here, but I dont trust product reviews from 99% of the websites out there, especially when said webiste is sponsored by said company, that's why I buy the stuff myself and test it out.
You should talk with the guys at ramstore up there
MudWhistle, send me a pm and I'll hook you up. NCIX.com sells corsair. They are in BC.
Haha I so agree :P I bet 75% of stuff (from manufacturers) being reviewed is hand picked.Quote:

I think ive got you all licked on the unbuffered scores - but as the compare to the buffered shows its a completely crap test :).
Heres unbuffered at DDR482 - MUCH better than low timings @ DDR520.
2/5/2/2 if anyones interested.
End Smack down hehe :)
what motherboard are you using???Quote:

why your score is 100mb/s better than mine with less mhz and probably same timings (i have 3900 at 2-5-2-2 enhanced on, the maximun on my IT7-2 V2.0).. have you disabled enhanced ?(i see that with it disabled the sandra score increase quite a bit)
tnx

i'd suspected.. better efficiency... but a thing... 4PEA have a better efficiency, but does it have better performance (over the IT7-MAX2 V2.0) or not?Quote:

Im using the Epox 4PEA+.
My unbuffered score is 100mb/s higher than yours because im running at higher mhz, not less. Youre score is at DDR510, mine at DDR520. The adata ram also gives very low benchmarks compared to memory like corsair, twinmos and samsung at the same mhz and timings. I know as I have 2 apacer data systems sticks myself and see the same thing.
The Epox board has no enhanced option.
Both those benchmarks are done with Twinmos PC3200. If you check the intel forum for the 4PEA+ threads you will see that macci and myself are having great success with this board. His unbuffered benches are about 100mb/s above mine. He has managed to run DDR507 @ 2/5/2/2 timings with a stick of corsair XMS3500.
I have used the IT7 v2.0 and noticed no enhanced setting. Infact none of the max2 v2.0 bioses have the enhanced function in them at all. Very strange that you claim to have it?
My unbuffered result was at 2/6/3/3 timings. Timings show very little difference on the buffered test, but as you can see when you truly measure performance using the unbuffered test the difference is quite substantial.
PiLsY.
As for better performance - yes much better.
My super pi, pifast and 3dmark scores have all improved inline with the bettr memory performance I have seen.
I suggest you read the "Epox 4PEA+ Memory Breakdown" thread on the intel forum before you consider buying though. This board is very picky about what memory you use.
Im still confused as to how you have the enhance dram performance option on the IT7 Max2 v2.0 when its been removed though. And also how you seem to be running the A.Data memory a good 10mhz higher than anybody else and at maximum timings too.
The highest I have previously seen with this memory was DDR502 @ 2/7/3/3/Enhance timings on the IT7. Most sticks seem to fall between DDR466 and DDR480 using 2/7/3/2/Enhance timings and about 3v. You either have the best stick of that memory ever made or.....
PiLsY.
the IT7-MAX2 V2.0 haven't the Enhanced options because it is always enabled (so says phantompunisher, the person who make the Abit modded bios for now)Quote:

for the buffered test i had understanded that it was at 484 max timings, sorry, my fault ;)
for the 3d on 4pea, now i run to see, it would be probably my next mobo if it is so cool in benches ;)
That's right, the Max2 v2.0 doesn't have the Enhanced option, BUT it has a hidden "TURBO" option, which is set to "Disabled" by default.
I modded the bios with TURBO set to enabled by default and it seems to influence performance a lot. I could boot at 224Mhz, 2-7-2-2 at all, system froze at boot screen.
Reflashed to original modded bios with Turbo disabled and it booted fine.
if you see my signature you can see 3dmark benches with this stick at 246mhz 2-5-2-2Quote:

so if 3dmark benches at 246, soon probably can do it at 248, it is quite easy to do a sandra bench at 510mhz, not?
the problem is that using settings worse than 2-5-2-2 i have no o/c improvement... now i'm trying 2.5-5-2-2 (intel boards seems to have better performance with cas2.5 tha cas2) but seems that have less stability than cas2... :(
ah... i'm not good with bios mods, i've only read in the site from pahntompunisher an improvement over original bios that Enhanced ram is always set to on... don't know if this is true or not...Quote:

PS: have you still got the modded bios with turbo options?? if you have it, can you send me?? e-mail is ghost_2512@yahoo.it
tnx!
I like how Pilsy prefixes whatever FSB his memory is running at with DDR.
DDR444, DDR 488, DDR492
lol
:p
Actually I think it's always set to 16T now. Enhanced DRAM on Abit boards is DRAM Idle timer on other boards. Enhanced On = 0T, Enhanced Off = Infinity (shows as greyed out in CPU-Z).Quote:

Dirty Punk - I thought your DDR510 bench was a stable OC. I can fully believe you can run 246 through 3dmark with that stick.
The benches I posted above are my STABLE settings. Ive currently started doing DVD rips to burn in the memory (Thanks BigToe :)) and have had no problem at all with stability so far. I backed off to DDR462 and lowered the mem voltage to 3v, and have so far improved my mem FSB to DDR474 using 3v still. Before I would need 3.1 to 3.2v for total stability at these speeds.
482 would just about complete a loop of 3dmark without dropping to desktop, but only from a cold boot. Now I can loop between 8 and 10 passes of 3dmark before it drops to desktop :). Im slowly getting there.
If BigToes theory about burn-in merely reducing errors at any given FSB rather than increasing the FSB is correct then I should be able to stabilise it at DDR494 using maxed timings. Now I need to find a CPU that will do that sort of FSB with a decent overall clockspeed. The 1.6a is nice, and I kept it due to the high fsb tolerance, but in order to compete at 3dmark you really need at LEAST 3.5ghz. Memory bandwidth helps to an extent, but you really cant make up for over 500mhz cpu speed using memory bandwidth alone.
PiLsY.
your memory is stable at 520mhz??
mine at 510 not, but at 492 is enought stable to run 3dmark, don't know if have stability problem, but works fine with 3dmark.. i'm working for 496, hope that will work with ram heatsinked, always 2-5-2-2 at 2.96-7v
my 2400B works fine with that clocks (185fsb), for more mhz i need better cooling, watercooling with 3° water isn't enought... need to make a phase-change like prommy homemade, but i'm a newbie in that filed, so need to practice a bit :D ;)
Dirty punk, My ram and mobo are acting exactly like yours: can do 3dmark @185/247 2-5-2-2 and sandra @253mhz but that seems to be the limit no matter how slow timings I use.
ps. can you send the pcr data? ;)
Ive still got the 187fsb wall here too. 186fsb 100% stable, 187 and it wont even post. Tried 1:1 memory and max vcore (up from 1.63v to 1.85v) and everything else I can think of. It just wont post.
However, I dont think ill be seeing 185fsb anytime soon with a top end chip, so im happy with it.
Its strange how I could boot all the way up to 200fsb at first though. Very strange. This only happened after I put the winbond memory in the board. It wouldnt post with the winbond in, and now it wont go over 187fsb.
Yes DDR520 was stable, however, performance was poor compared to tight timings and lower mem FSB, so I went back to DDR482 for 3dmark again.
PiLsY.
sorry, tomorrow i send it to you. Today i couldn't because i'd tryed a KT4 Ultra with a 2400+, but get very poor overclock and lost a lot of time do try to optimize this mobo... i haven't got a good image from KT4, poor voltages (ok, i've voltmodded it, but stock haven't good voltages), bug in bios, unlock doesn't work well..... hope to try a nforce 2 mobo like abit or epox soon, with better cpu i hopeQuote:

Picking up a Leadtek Nforce2 board next week. Should provide some interesting results. Its VERY cheap for a "Pro" board (ie has full soundstorm) at only £83 compared to £100 for Epox and £134 for Asus. The main reason in my choosing it though is that it has jumpers for the vdimm, not bios adjustment. At stock it provides 2.5/2.6/2.7v (although there is blatently an undocumented combination of the 2 jumpers which should provide 2.8v). Historically jumpered vdimm motherboards have been very easy to vdimm mod simply by either wrapping jumpers together or by jumpering between a jumper pin and ground. I really cba with lifting pins on that voltage controller - its TINY.
www.leadtek.co.uk has the info on it if anyone else fancies taking a look. The layout looks ok, plenty of room between dimms and AGP and a ton of room around the northbridge. Its also got the 4 holes around the cpu socket.
Will of course report my findings, but gut instincts count for a lot in this game, and my guts telling me its going to be a good board. 211fsb limit though, but tbh thats not really a big deal to me at this point. Im sure either leadtek will come out with a bios releasing higher FSBs, or if im really that bothered ill learn how to make a TurboPLL.
PiLsY.
PiLsY is that the 8rDa+ or something? If so then theres a bios that goes up to 250fsb now :D A friend just got the board and he is having Car Low problems and APIC is enabled so he doesnt know what it is....:confused:
Also with you being able to boot at a certain fsb but now cant, I was able to boot into windows at 171 for a screenie but now cant even boot into windows at 168 anymore....wtf??!!!
3.06 should arrive next week sometime so just going to be a gamer till then :p
hehehehe
PiLsY, the last I saw there was no multiplier option of any kind on the Leadtek nforce2 board. I'm not sure if they have it now with a new bios.
LardArse had one of these (think it was in the Vmod's forum he was looking for info on Vdimm/Vcore modification). I'd definitely recommend the Epox over the Leadtek nForce2.Quote:

Can you explain me something?????...........I payed a lot of money buying Corsair XMS3200 C2 witch can do on this crap Mobo(IT7-Max2 V.1) 256MHz(512MHz DDR) and with ONLY 100 Euros I bought a SIMPLE Kingston 333DDR witch can do WITHOUT a lot of burn-in 262MHz(524MHz DDR)........It has Windbond chips on it 6ns like Corsair XMS3200 C2 one.......It drived me CRAZY....!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
S-Sandra Memory Bandwidth....Buffered
S-Sandra Memory Bandwidth .....Unbuffered.....
Hmz..
how does this 'unbuffered' thing work? if i do sandra mem benchmark unbuffered or at least, if i did it right (i de-selected the use buffer thingie or so, in mem bench options). i only get some score under 1k... that aint good uh?
......and with Cas 2-2-3-7
Sounds like you've got some good DDR man!

HiPro5
I test for stability by looping memtest on test #5 only for between 2 and 6 hours.
I start off at 3 passes of test 5 before moving up, when im close to the limit I test to 30 minutes, and when im at the limit 2 hours. After that I find 6 hours of memtest looping test 5 followed by 6 hours of seti and about 12 ripping a dvd will give me an extra mhz FSB.
The full test of memtest really doesnt tax your memory much. Its only test 5 that really pushes it.
Try looping test 5 for 30 minutes then touching the memory with your finger :p. Mine got to 62c after 15 minutes before I chickened out and heatsinked it. That was at only 2.8v and DDR466 btw...
If you can show me a photo of memtest having run at that speed for 2 hours looping test 5 without errors I will be very impressed :D.
Nice job anyway, especially with PC2700 mem :).

*points to thread title.....*
Highest DDR Sandra Benchmark
I see what you mean and I'll test it......as for Mem temperature I have to Modd my Kingston mem module like my Corsair XMS3200 one..... ;)Quote:

I start off at 3 passes of test 5 before moving up, when im close to the limit I test to 30 minutes, and when im at the limit 2 hours. After that I find 6 hours of memtest looping test 5 followed by 6 hours of seti and about 12 ripping a dvd will give me an extra mhz FSB.
The full test of memtest really doesnt tax your memory much. Its only test 5 that really pushes it.
Try looping test 5 for 30 minutes then touching the memory with your finger :p. Mine got to 62c after 15 minutes before I chickened out and heatsinked it. That was at only 2.8v and DDR466 btw...
If you can show me a photo of memtest having run at that speed for 2 hours looping test 5 without errors I will be very impressed :D.
Nice job anyway, especially with PC2700 mem :).

Can somebody just gimme a Tbred so i can play along with u guys? :D :D :D
Probably could cool it down with this.... sure looks good, and you can use at least 2 sticks.

39$ for a stupid use or a wb i think.... it's very easy to do one of this, why to spend so much $...!Quote:

... probably using peltier it works better :D
Whatever bro, I didn't say it would work "THE BEST" I just said it looks cool, and you can use 2 sticks as shown in the pic.
yes, it's a cool idea but it is much expensive... if it costs ~20$ it can be a good toy to play with, but 39$... for 39$ you can buy a good cpu wb, that is sure more complex & efficient...Quote:

I heard those blocks for your ram suck, they totally screw up your waterflow wich isn't too good... i wouldnt pay anything for some sinks anyway... i'm sure you can reach 200+ FSB without all that stuff..... waste of your money i'd say... maybe it just looks cool...
I don't know about you guys, but my OCZ PC3200 and my Samsung DDR400 have heatspreaders that only make contact right under the clips. It's kind of disappointing. I wonder what would happen if you put some pressure on the middle of the heatspreaders......
So far with My MSI Nforce2 board.....alll stock voltage.....fully stable , play games all day on this.

Here is what Aceman and I were able to get on my Abit NF7-S with one 512MB stick of XMS3500 at 2.8v. BIOS Settings were 9.5x237-Cas2-5-2-2 with CPU interface enabled. When we have more time, we will power it with much more CPU speed. Sorry for the large image.

Wow, thats a damn nice score for an AMD machine@!@!
Pilsy, what prog do you use for the ripping?
Hipro, great score witht the Kingston, I'm prttey sure that they used the latest stepping revB. 6ns chis..which performs amazing ;)
Clad DVD XP to rip the vob files and audio
DVD2AVI @ high priority to create a d2v file
TMpegenc @ high priority to rip to mpg/mp2, mux and cut.
Takes hours, but as bigtoe said to me, you get an end product as well as burning in your memory and cpu, so its much better than running say memtest or sandra loops. May as well be productive if youre going to use all those cpu cycles. It seems pretty damn good at burning in the memory.

8k3a+ a-data pc 3200@3v....turbo

nice FSB you got there mate
news form my a.data memory stick... i have finally heatsinked the stick, but the memsink i used seems to haven't a total contact with memory chips, howether i have gained 1 more mhz ;)
ah, always at 2.96-7v at 2-5-2-2 (seems that cas2 works 1% better in efficiency than cas2.5, strange under intel chipset...)
NEW BUFERED TEST AT 256MHZ
UNBUFFERED TEST AT 255MHZ
PS: the images were too heavy so i have only linked it
the strange things is the difference between buffered & unbuffered in my test & in Hipro5 test...
hipro drop from 4000 to 2030, i from 3930 to 2060!! :confused:
and you Pilsy from 4020 to 1827!?!!
i get 1820 unbuff. score (like yours) at 464mhz with a stick of sams pc2700 timings 2.5-6-2-2, but the buffered in this condition were only ~3650..
so, or the unbuffered test you run were a bit unlucky, or probably that unbuffered test isn't so reliable, like all sandra tests.... :rolleyes:
if i'm in fault please let me know, possible that i misunderstand a thing...
PS: possible unbuff test is strong timings dipendent... yeah, this could be a right thing :D ;) but i remains too much timings dependent, not?
Well done Dirty_Punk....... :D :toast:
My score "sucks" cos I'm with the ABIT IT7-Max2 V.1 crap this time.....In a few days I'll post with my new IT7-Max2 V.2 one witch I got today.....So we'll see what the V.2 can do.....!!!!! ;)
i don't say that your score sucks :p but that you have a more drop in performance from buff to unbuff test...Quote:

i think to buy a 4pea, my it7 max2 v2.0 has 197mhz fsb limit... a great limit for my 1600 that seems to fly with this board (VS the older IT7 that i'd fryed, gained 30 more mhz and full stability VS no stability at all!!!! with IT7 1600@3130 unstable, with IT7 MAX2 V2.0 1600@3160 stable for s.pi & 3dmark, but can't go any mhz highter... :( )
but have you modded your older IT7 to get 3.44v or have you only raise +3.3v line?
EVERYTHING is Modded.... :DQuote:

Hipro5..
What PSU do you use and what is the mod for the 3.3v line?
Im looking for a new PSU and a moddable 3.3v line is a must have. Theres been too many times when ive wished I had more juice on the 3.3 line for me not to have it adjustable anymore.
How did the memtest go btw? :)
Sandra unbuffered is the biggest steaming pile of rubbish ive ever seen. It calculates THEROETICAL bandwidth and not actual bandwidth. Even says it does in the help files. Timings make the same mb/s difference in unbuffered as they do buffered - a bit of a joke when you consider your buffered strating point is usually double your unbuffered score at least.

I use an ENERMAX 550 Watts PSU....It has no trimmers inside it to "play" with.....I had to "play" with resistors in parallel with some PSU's resistors to get more Voltages......Quote:

I didn't have time to test Memtest-86(lot of work these days)....I'll try it in a few days with my new IT7-Max2 V.2 one.....I'll Modd it first and I'll give it a shot..... :D
Adata ram is fine for ddr500 but not good on bandwidth, I found this months ago when i first hit ddr500 with it.Check out my sammy ctl at 2.5,7,2,2 enhance ddr482...much faster!!

V-Data PC2700 (same as A.Data) with V-Data 6ns chip 2-5-3-2 2.96-7v, not bad for a PC2700 stick, think that with more voltage can do better ;)
PS: 4 stick with the same chip tested can do the same
the chips are
V-Data
40245
VDD8608A8A-6B
tryed 10 sticks but 6 have the second line with 20250 instead of 40245 and were very bad clockers.. this seems not :)
