I lost track where I posted my results and where I didn't, but anyway, here's the kit I ordered Friday on newegg. This is 2.7 Volts. 2.8 Volts were much worse, 2.6 Volts a little worse.
http://www.cons.org/cracauer/oc-scre...hz-3-4-4-8.png
It seems to do 3-4-3-7 at 262 MHz, priming now.
Just got my 2gbhz today, put them in (orange slots) after a bios reset, and no post. Took one out and left the other in the top orange slot, posted fine.
Took the one out that posted and put the other in by itself and no post.
So i tried several lengthy bios resets with just the suspect stick in and still nothing.
I tried ever mem slot on the mobo, nothing.
Put my Mushkin back in without a bios reset and posted first time.
All this with the 623-3 and 623-2 bios's
Not to terribly impressed with gskill so far being my first time using thier stuff. Arent modules tested before they leave the factory to avoid DOA memory.
You'll always have some that slip thru the cracks even with the best testing.:stick:Quote:

And please report back when you do :)
I got mine today, got em upto 280mhz and testing right now at 2.8v
MY best on default 250FSB was 3-4-3-5. If I could reduce this 4 into 3 I would be happy, so 3-3-3-5 is my target. Did anyone reached this? I mean I'm satisfied with 3-4-3-5......but I want to play a little more if someone can help on this:banana:
I have just sold my G-Skill Extreme 2GB HZ PC4000, and got a pair of Crucial Ballistix 2GB PC4000. And what diffrence. Before 305Mhz 3-4-3-8 T1 and that danm 180 divider at 2.6v, now 305 3-3-3-8T1 and 1:1 at 2.9v. And i´m sure that if i wanted, 310 is possible.
Watch the voltage to those Ballistix, alot of failures running more than 2.8v, they don't fail right away, but more so over 2 months or so of use. The HZ have been treating me great, and seem to be more cpu/mem controller sensitive than some of my other memory sticks and they run nice and cool.
There is no indication that the "bad batch" we have seen on Ballistix was caused by overvolting.Quote:

I just got this set about a week ago. I am only able to do 255Mhz @ 3-4-4-8 at 2.7V on a nF4 Ultra D. I've upped the Voltage with no luck. Tried coping some of your setting from first page just to hit 260Mhz. Memtest #5 always seems to Fail. I'm running it at 1/01 Ratio. I already Tested CPU and it can hit 3Ghz so I know it isn't that. Any suggestions? Do I need to Put Active cooling on them?
EDIT:: Also how bout if SuperPI and OCCT pass and Prime passes after about 8 hours or so? Would that be Stable even if I get errors in memtest?
Thanks
hello!!!
this is my first post!
I'm italian. I not speak very well ...you excuse to me!
I have same problem with my kit HZ.
Passed hours and hours of test with memtest at the frequency of 250/260/265 but beyond frequency of 265, test #5 found errors........
Superpi 32mb is perfect....... at 270!!
My kit is stopped at 265 RS........ !!!?!?!?
Anyone? I must be doing something wrong if I can only max out at like 250-255 and most people are hitting 280 or atleast 260. Thank you
I go perfectly until at 265, no errors in memtest..... but already at 270 have errors in test #5.
I want to go at least 270 with no errors!!!
However until at 270 have passed superpi 32 mb with no errors!!
Must I set up better the bios?
With which timings?
What board and bios are you running?
Can you post a screenshot of your A64 tweaker settings?
i have asus a8n32 sli deluxe, whit last bios 1009.

thanks for help me!!
excuse for my english!
Where did you guys buy these sets?
Maybe they are not from the newest batch that came out of newegg and did so well.
Anyway, copy the A64tweaker settings that I had in my screenshots. These settings were not what the board autodetected for this set, they are derived from my TCCD settings and did better than autodetected.
your memtest run correctly?
Well right after I purchased Mine they were out of stock for acouple days. So I'm guessing I should have got a good batch, but maybe they go through them quicker than we think. I tried your settings and I used them in A64Tweaker and it corrupted my Windows so I had to reinstall. lol. I just tested and got through 5 passes of Test#5 on memtest at 3-4-4-9. And I changed acouple settings like you had. After I passed 5x's I just moved up to 265 and testing now. I guess I'll just keep messing with them. Do any of you have Fans blowing directly on memory?
update.....
I tested only single (one for time) module into slot dimm A and slot dimm B, and it works perfectly at 270/275 in the slot A...... I have errors only slot dimm B exceeds 265!!! Slot A go at 275, slot B .... 265...
Why? Mainboard limit with this ram ?? Bios problem? or memtest not run correctly with this chipset o mainboard?
note
I read the memtest site and it says that there are possible problems with mainboard nforce4!
what color RAM slots you have yours in?
I have mine in the yellow ram slots.
memtest have problems with nF4? I'll have to look into that.
I have an asus a8n32 sli ....no dfi.
My slots color is pair blue and pair black.
