maybe 2.7
This is strange, I moved the multi up to 9x instead of the 8x it was at and now I'm getting no errors at 2.6 / 280 :confused: Does the multi affect DRAM speed? Just isn't logical to me.... I even ran Test 5 for 5 passes alone and no errors. Going to try 8x again to see if I can reproduce the errors I was getting in test 5
Yep when I moved multi back to 8x I got a slew of errors on test 5. It is at 9 again just got back from getting some fast food and at 9x multi 280x9 for 2521 according to memtest, so far it is 80% done with complete pass 1 and no errors passed test 5 with flying colors.
Am I just too much of a noob with this AMD / Nforce or is this odd?
Wow, nice sticks Pentium777, keep workin on em and get me some cpu-z verified links and super pi 32m. :toast:
DB Update btw, nugzo retook first place with 286MHz. :clap:
dont know if this has been said but i cant find the 1gb ballistx anywhere on newegg anymore.
direct from crucial only place now?
Crucial is technically out of stock right now too...I just got an email saying that the stuff I'm getting back on RMA is out of stock and will be delayed 10 days (this is taking bloody forever to get some good 1GB sticks that work). I read somewhere that the current lines are being phased out and will be replaced by _______. Not sure if it's better or worse yet either.
Replaced by what exactly?
We wish we knew
I know whats going on. There are changing to an new process. A friend of mine is a layout enginer at Micron and the mig change is al new layout has to be on the new process, and Im thinking its 90nm or 65nm. The new process has been up for 6 to 9 months now.Quote:

Heh, if that's true, then the new stuff, when it's back in stock, should overclock even better no?
I don't know. I have not heard of the specs of the new process at all. They might have some problems to work out first.Quote:

Testing 704-2 bios next will post results if good.
SO i have been playing around with my crucial value micron stuff and was able to pull this amximum 32M stable:

Timings are pretty loose but if i tighten it seems max is around 238
Get me a cpu-z verified link and your on.
Good going J-Mag ! :toast:
What bios are you using ?

No I saw he was using a divider, still 242mhz out of value sticks aint shabby ;)
No doubt. :)Quote:

Thanks Major and honestly I have no idea what BIOS I am using. It is whatever the shipping BIOS was on the DFI SLI-D I purchased at Fry's about 1 month ago for a tide-me-over until my RMA came back fom DFI...Quote:

Well guys I haven't tried to go past 287.03 but... if I'm on the top of the charts I guess I will hang for a bit until someone pushes me :-) 2.9v RAM btw extremely impressed with this ram more than I had hoped for and that's always a good thing! :D
287mhz :toast:Quote:

Left all the dram settings to optimal from BIOS 623-3, changed to 2.9v probably could have run lower voltage since my sticks don't seem to like a lot of volts. 3-3-3-8 1T for sure and whatever DFI's optimal settings load is. I had a nightmare when I tried to mess with the dram speed or whatever from Normal to Fast, forgot I had changed it and had very serious stability problems so I decided not to mess around with them, optimal seems pretty good
