Asus P5W DH with GSKILL ram setup instructions and discussion thread
-
Hello,
I'm curious why the F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ was set to 1.9V instead of 2.0V?

maybe because i forget to take 2v's pic :D

ok so i'm not crazy and the voltage should be set to 2.0v correct?
Have their been any issues in getting g.skill RAM to post properly in the Asus P5W? I know one of your competitors initially had issues with 965 boards due to their voltage requirements.
-
2V that is right
p5w is 975 chip so there is no voltage issue
-
Thank you G.S!
Can you tell me what is the difference between
F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK ---DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 1.9V
F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ ---DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 2V
Aside from the voltage, both of the above timings are the same. Is there an advantage to spending more for the PHU2 kit?

this is not for overclock. there is not much head room
-
Can I have timings for Memset3.0? I have the 2GBHZ DDR2-1000 sticks.
-
any idea GS tech with the 8000 model 4-4-4-5 at 2.2 volts on this mobo ? (F2-8000PHU2-2GBHZ) will that work with a divider so FSB 400 and DDR at DDR1000 ?
-
memtest timing is different from PC to PC......
i would suggest you test it by yourself to get the best setting
also the divider thing is nothing we can control. it is motherboard's setting. if divider is not working, most the time is bug in mobo bios.
as i know FSB400 issue with DDR2 1000 is been fix at the latest bios

Hi G.Skill -
I'm having troubles with a 2GBZX kit. I believe it is the Elpida IC's.
I can't get it to run rated timings (4,4,4,12, 800Mhz) @ over 365 FSB. It doesn't matter what voltage I use, or what divider I use when underclocking or overclocking it. This has been a problem in every bios since 0701 for me.
It just will not run at any speed @ 4,4,4,12 if I am over 365FSB.
I understand this may be an Asus problem, not G.Skill, I don't know.
Thoughts?
-
if only happens on over 365, i believe it is same problem with TRD value.
i can only suggest use memset and change TRD to whatever the auto is and use clockgen to pull up the clock....
-
Wish they would put subtimings in the Bios already. :mad:
Thanks, will try it.
-
Does the F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK post with that mobo without you having to use a different set of RAM to set stuff, or does it work just fine out of the box before I decide to buy?
Thanks in advance!

So it is not possible to OC them? I have seen pics with 400 fsb and 4-4-4-12, but with p5w dh and e6700 I cannot get it unless I go 5-5-5-15
Anyone knows how?
-
I can't overclock them with loose timings either. I can't run stock, either underclocked or overclocked with the intel dividers.
Any application I have that is RAM dependent is more effected by timings, so right now I am testing 3-4-4-12 at below stock bandwidth instead of looser timings above stock bandwidth.
I'll post a comment on how this goes.

yes it works out of box with p5wdh

if i use TRD to 7, i can easy overclock HZ over 400 FSB
however, the problem is really TRD, i am still looking for a way to solve it.
cuz i do know use WS pro and WS64 PRO, with TRD change to 7, FSB400 over DDR2 1000 are easy but with TRD 6, there is no way to boot up

which ram, PK?
-
I have 2GBZX PC2-6400:hitself: . Useing memset the best I can get 1:1 for 400FSB is 5-5-5-15, tRD 8+. CL4 is no go.
-
humm, F2-6400PHU2-2GBZX is not going to run DDR2 1000
if it is F2-5400PHU2-2GBZX, that is other story
-
Perhaps G.S Tech or anyone else who has the F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ chips can post some info about how far these will go? Can they run stable at 4-4-4-12? How far can you OC them at 5-5-5-15? I'm just curious how far anyone else has pushed them.
-
Ive been wondering about the same thing since im about to purchase those
2GBNQ sticks with a P5W myself. So, anyone? :)
-
I suppose I could mess around a bit, but I'm not a very experienced overclocker, so my results probably won't be that great.
-
Dont take risks on my account, i just thought id ask too in case anyone had already done it ;)
-
THe P5WDH is pretty good about not letting you boot if your BIOS settings are too extreme, but I won't push it too hard. :)
-
OK, so here's how far I got the NQ RAM to go:
http://home.rochester.rr.com/maxpayne/memtest.jpg
I got it to run 4-4-4-12 at DDR2-889 with 2.05v. (Windows XP wouldn't boot at 2.0v.) Although my test wasn't very long, it seems pretty stable. I couldn't get it to boot at 1067, even with the voltage at 2.3v and the timings at 6-6-6-15. :\ I didn't feel like upping the voltage any further. But considering this is fairly cheap RAM, my results aren't that bad. I'll do some more long-term testing tonight, hopefully, and we'll see how stable it is under heavy load for a longer time.
As you can see, I haven't OC'd the processor yet, though I doubt that would affect the RAM stability too much if I did. (Or am I wrong about that?)
