Ordered a kit from www.oc-wear.de. Should recieve it sometime next week. Going to run them with 3500+ winnie and Epox 9NDA3+. I'll post results as soon as I get them.

Haven't done any 3dmark benchies yet but just testing with 32M first :)

Still using 623-3 bios

10x282 <-- max i've tested so far 32M stable

I am able to run 282 Mhz @ 2.6vdimm in Memtest #5 and Super PI 32M. Thats easy.

Cmon guys I wanna see some 3d benches!!!! :slapass:

Hey, i'm a noob here so i'm sure these questions will be laughed at :) hehe :

1. Why doesn't everyone just set the ram to 2.8v right away... OCZ guarantees it to be fine at that voltage.

2. What are 3d benches? =P i thought you only do memtest for ram stability? there is some other test?

Memory does not alays need high voltage, sometimes tweaking small increases will gain more than ramming more juice.

Ok guys just started testing them out.

I am running memtest 86+ for the moment at 10*260@3-3-2-7 with 2.7v.

I got some questions:

First I see a massive jump in ram speed that memtest is giving me. Before I was at 10*260 with my tccd @2.5-3-3-7 and I had about 2500mb/s. Notice this was a 1gb kit

Now with my new and first 2gb kit I am getting 2902mb/s wich is my opinion a massive increase.

I know the timmings with the EB are a little more agressive than the tccd was but I dont think it can justify the 400mb/s diffence.

So is this increase due to it being a 2gb kit?

LMk what you think!!!

Hehe... I asked before but it looks like nobody wanted to try :( So, maybe I'll try again :D

Have anyone of you guys tried to run 2 instances of "Memtest for Windows" at those high clocks? Maybe up to 500%... Dean? Ryder? George? Each can allocate only 920MB... It's quite a bit more stressful for memory than P95 and normal memtest... I'm really curious how that kit fares with this tool...

Anyone, please? ;) Thanks in advance...

I put it down to 8 node interleaving...the density of the dimms is key

I don't have a dual core....will 2 instances run without it? I have never used this tool......I am currently installing the board in a case so I can play BF2 on it :woot:

I will see if I can accomodate you Bachus in the next couple days :)

Don't need an X2 from what I know, Ryder.

No, you just fire up two instances, from same folder. No need for X2. You might gonna have to play with Priority in Task Manager to have each instance use 50%, though.
If you guys don't want to give it a try, that's fine. But If you do, it would be awesome.
Here's the linky - Memtest for Windows

Thanks Ryder :toast:

Thanks Vapor...someone point a Windows memtest noob in the direction of a download linky?

Thanks again

**EDIT** Bachus you are too quick with the post ;) HAHAHAHA

LOL....he answered your post before you posted it! :rofl:

I think I'm gonna have to run 3 of these to test out my memory (3GB lovin' over here :D)....not that I've ever had problems.

Not to hijack this thread :D

I run two instances of memtest, one using a small sample of say 16mb and another using a large sample of 512mb and adjust memory settings in A64 tweaker while memtest is running to determine stable/optimal settings. The smaller sample will give errors quickly if a settings is not stable, and the larger sample should indicate if both sticks can handle the clocks/settings.

so no word on 875?

guess ill pass :(

Sorry Rev....no 875 board to try it on.... 865 board has been replaced with a DDR2 machine.

I haven't had any customers tell me it runs good on 875 yet either...sorry :(

Very sad

the only reasons ocz does what it does is because competition. we all know a competitive market brings progress.

I must say I'm alittle shocked. I started voicing windows memtest > memtest86
+ 1.5/6 months ago over at the OCAU forums.

I've had many and numerous instances of having a clean bill of health from memtest 1.6, SuperPi and even Prime95....

But my favourite game would crash.

In frustration I found Windows memtest. It finds errors where the others don't. Sometimes very fast. Literally within the first 30 seconds. how many errors you get and how fast you get em. If windows memtest is clear....my games DO NOT CRASH EVER.

EVA2000 and a few other quite prominenant member over at OCAU did agree with me but I am quite surprised by the lack of usage of them in screen shots by OC gurus here and elsewhere.

Hopefully this thread is a sign of things to come.

BTW have any of you guru's tried out the pro version? If not then please tell us about it when you guys do decide to get it! Having to constantly monitor the free version is the only draw back of windows memtest compared to 1.6 etc.

huh i never agreed that win memtest was better than memtest :)

each app accesses and tests memory in different ways :)

pcmark04/05 memory test in itself http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=474 is better for AMD64 mem testing than win memtest and memtest86+ for certain stuff like finding right TREF and drive/drive data strengths

Any confirmation as to what modules these are?

Anandtech talked about infineon. But I aint sure

For the 5th+ time from me alone.....these are Infineon CE-6.

seems 10x280mhz 3-3-2-8 like OCZ said stresses mem controller more and 3dmark2003 froze at GT1 with 2.64v vdimm, froze at GT4 with 2.69v vdimm and 3dmark2003 fully passed at 2.69v vdimm and at +0.25v more vcore to the cpu but the score seemed lower than usual.

But 11x274mhz 3-3-2-8 definitely works :)

Ran GT1 and GT4 (both most stressing on system) in 3dmark2003 in 40 loops @1600x1200 resolution with no probs

then did these
