ram is rated to 1.35v and i a/b'd them against crucial ballistix pc-8500 *not tracers* and the mushkin pwned.
im probably going to test some kingston hyper-x today so i will let you know how that goes.

Are those the blue or black ones? You have a newegg link?

they are the blue ones, but if you have the cash, get the extremes. they are the black ones.

i got the blue *hp* modules because they were on special and had a $45 mail in rebate to bring the price to 45 bucks for 2 gigs... but i might pick up a set of these since i am looking for new ram.

Don't think there is a 0217? I've seen 0214 and 0219?

I noticed that the Maximus Formula has no tRC memory timing setting in the BIOS...I almost got tRFC confused with tRC in the BIOS and set tRFC to 35 thinking it was tRC...is there no tRC setting for me due to the G.Skill memory?...are the timings that show up in the BIOS dependant on what kind of memory/manufacturer you have?

my guess would be 1.8V as that's the nominal DDR2 voltage

Yeap no 0217 and please do not go off topic for those about discussing for memories.

interesting... i cant set performance level to 7 manually with pull ins disabled, setting to 6 causes a det ram error, putting it to 8 i can post and all is stable. enabling pull ins i can get pl6 at cas5 and pl5 at cas4. it appears that one has to apply the anandtech formula as it seems to be correct after plugging in all the numbers. there is no real guessing at this when the rules of the article are applied and you know your hardware, its just a matter of figuring out to turn on or off pull ins which im pretty sure is one way or the other dependant on strap. we should really read back through this and compile a table of sorts.

NEED MORE SCREEN SHOTS

Going to test some clocks and redo OS, still have the web pages wont refresh issue and Everest is being a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: not reporting any ram info.
I installed some MS web :banana::banana::banana::banana: via an update yesterday so that might be the cause of the web pages problem.
CPUZ reports everything so I might just need a new version of everest.

Going to post the main setup bios screen and maybe some pll can helpl with some ram settings

please setting bios

Anyway, this is 8x495, 8x498, 8x500 (E8400), with 1.51 VNB, PL7

8x505 1.55 VNB PL7

Edit: Full ram settings: 5-5-5-15-3-35-6-3-8-3-5-4-6-4-6

Could someone run this identical settings in RF and let's see what the difference could possibly be? Thanks.

I copied ALL your settings

I set Clock Twister to Stronger, Dram Static To AUTO, PL = 7
So lets Compare

Why does my L2 Cache suck ass compared to yours?

Double post alert

Looks like teh Rampage is slightly faster

Fantastic OC 4.32GHz on water at 1.3875 Vcore bios set. Thx for sharing.
The template is using 1004 Bios right?
Your sig shows you've updated the Bios to Rampage Formula SE Bios 0219.

Correct that is my Maximus 1004 bios settings

Faster for me is PL8/Phases Enabled that PL7/Phases disabled.
But i cannot use PL7/Phases enabled due to CAS 5 limitation at 450@5:6@540

@ Grnfinger: Clock Twister was on Auto for my runs on MF. I'm not behind my PC right now, but I'll run with it enabled to see what difference it makes tomorrow.

My "write" and "copy" numbers are better than yours too. I'm sure I can duplicate your read numbers if I run everest tests a couple of times, instead of once. I also think clock twister enabled, will add a few more digits all around. I really want these results to sway me as to which bios to use; so I'll give you all the ram settings for the "secondary, as well as "tertiary" ram settings for the rampage. Could you run rams at these settings:

5-5-5-15-3-35-6-3-8-3-5-4-6-4-6-14-5-1-5-5

Wonder if these to setting will help my overclocking or not ? Using a E8500.

CPU GTL Reference : .63
North Bridge GTL Reference : .67

Ok, one thing that I'm confused about is which phases to enable if I have the ram in the white slots and which if I have it in the blue slots? Anyone got any ideas? I want to try to get PL6 or PL7 with pulled up Phases so it's like PL6 and then lower the timings even more.

How come you guys have a Write speed almost as high as your read speeds?

they run a higher fsb than us. :(
and try just enabling all of them.

How come their read and write speeds are nearly even and mine are not?
