I agree, this dam opt wont give me 2.8 to save my life :(
im gonna try a few more things on it then I guess ill grab something else, i went from an X2 that did 2.7+ to a opty doin same speeds?
Please let my ram be some good stuff :)
The gods hate me when it comes down to hardware I swear they do...
Once just once let me get something good... PRAY'S....
I might have to pick some of these up :)
I just hope that OzziMark's results weren't from a handpicked set :)
I've found the occasional live sacrifice helps :eek:Quote:

has anybody try to combine UCCC and these Micron together and run them at 4GB in 2T @3-4-4-8? :D :D
Anybody else with Numbers yet? I thought this thread would be jumpin with either YAY!!! or BOO!!! by now. I guess i'm one of the only ones to pay for OVN shipping. PLease post your results when u can. I need a reason to order another set.. :p
I have not bought mine yet. Still waiting to see more positive numbers
My set came yesterday. I'm pretty sure 10+ people were ahead of me in the BackOrder line at TankGuys. Maybe i'm wrong.Quote:

It's just like we explained in the e-mail we sent you earlier-Quote:

HOWEVER, it would have taken an extra day to get everything out, since it would have gone to us first, then we'd have had to repack and reship.
Instead, we decided to have Team just drop ship it all for us. That way, people on the west coast got things much quicker, and people on the East coast got things the same day, or a day earlier, than if we'd had to ship them to us first, then re-route.
Furthermore, Team does not ship by USPS, which is why you were switched to FedEx.
In the end, you're getting your memory a day earlier than you "should" have if we'd elected to do things the normal way (shipping to us first, then re-shipping to customers) and in fact, it cost us more to do this for you, albeit only a small amount. We were trying to do you all a favor.
Explaination: If we hadn't drop shipped, it would have taken the memory 5 days to get from Team to us. Then, it would have taken at least 1 day for us to unpack it all, repack it, and get it shipped out. It would have then taken 2 days for the package to get to you, for a total of 8 days. Instead, we had Team ship it directly to you, for a total of 5 days, saving you 3. Granted, our site said it would take 2 days to get to you, but it was backordered at the time, so that did not include the time it would have taken for the memory to get to us in the first place. Hopefully this makes sense?
Mine should be here in a day or two. I have 2 sets coming, so hopefully I have some good ones!! :slap:
Mine by wednesday :)
Hoping for some decent clocks, then an opty to match em
Yeah but it takes two noobs to count as a true human sacrifice...:rolleyes:Quote:

Mine will be here on next Wednesday as well....wish I'd received them this weekend but it's alright, no big deal. Hope they clock well on the Venus ;)Quote:

Right off the bat I was able to boot into Windows @ 280Mhz 1T and 270Mhz 1T. Ran sandra bandwith and was around 7200/7200. However, this was completely unstable. Following the stability issues I rebooted the computer and ran memtest on the sticks @ 280, 270, 260, and 255 Mhz using test #5.
1T 3-3-3-8
280Mhz - over 3000 errors
270Mhz- over 2200 errors
260Mhz- over 2100 errors
255Mhz- 19 errors
250Mhz- Pass
I have used everything from stock timings to the great "Micron" guide that was posted on here byt onepagebook. I will be getting an Ultra-D mobo on either Tue or Wed. so that is when the real test will come. But so far, no good. I am also a little nervous because CPU-Z, Sisoft Sandra and Lavalys Everest all display my memory part numbers, timings, and SPD tables differently. I am currently waiting for a few other members to post a screenie of their CPU-Z.
I went ahead and opened up Sandra and the newest version of CPU-Z:
http://www.strippoli.com/tables.JPG
Note: My ram is rated on the sticker of the actual heatspreader @ DDR500, 3-3-3-8 1T PC4000 Team Group Xtreme Cronus
After reading reviews and screenies of other members with this RAM all displaying proper CPU-Z values I am really tempted to take off the heatspreaders and look at what I really have. Reading threads here on XS display all of the manufacturer information and a PC4000 rating in CPU-Z on the Microns, why doesnt mine?
Now, seeing that these sticks can barely clock 3 Mhz over 250 trying all the settings in the world maybe the motherboard isnt 100% at fault here. I dunno? The only way I am able to reach stability is in 2T. 1T max overclock with no memtest errors is 253Mhz. <-- These sticks are supposed to rated @ 250. In 2T I can clock up to 270Mhz and pass memtest #5. I am really hoping that the A8N32 is at fault for displaying wrong memory readings and holding my OC back.
At 250 Mhz 1T it passes memtest #5 and fails superpi 8m. The way it sits right now is 250 Mhz 2T, 3-3-3-8. I can only pass superpi and dual prime torture test in 2T. This ram is supposed to be rated @ 250Mhz 1T and we are paying close to $300 for Micron modules that are known to clock 280+.
This is all just speculation because we wont know whats going on until:
#1 I get my new DFI Ultra-D mobo.
#2 More members on this forum post screenies and results of the new Week 6 Year 2006 Production.
Also, if you know me on OC, I am not an individual to be biased at all. I tell it exactly how it is and I do not hold any political bonds or relationships with any manufacturers. I am always upgrading to the latest and greatest so this is just a minor setback until we figure out whats going on. If I have no results with the Cronus "Micron" sticks then its off to the Mushkin PC4000 or Team TCCD.
Anyway, I think this is a great forum with a wealth of information and I hope to enjoy my stay here.
PS- Let me give my props to Ben @ Tank Guys (www.tankguys.biz) for exemplary customer service and excellent processing time. <-- To my doorstep in less than a day.

I'm not to familiar with that mobo, but what timings can you manually change in the bios?
You can change everything that can be found using A64Tweaker manually in the bios. The A8N32 bios really is quite advanced for an asus board. I just think the board in general is having difficulty running 2 gigs in 1T stable. My Ultra-D will be installed and running by tomorrow night so I will know more. As far as the CPU-Z SPD Tables and PC3200 rating, i am still unsure. I need someone else with the newer production modules 06/2006 to post up a screenie.Quote:

Dom, try 2T. i've talked to a lot of guys that have issues with 2x1gb at 1T in asus mobos :(
Enjoy, still 5b D, just a revised PCB, as denoted by the 1 on the end :D
sorry about hiding for a few days, i was out snowboarding :toast:
for the best settings, my favorite would be the ones show in the prime95 stable shot. use odd drive strength, 5 was best for my particular case. data drive is kinda dependant on your memory controller. active cooling is a definite must. also, as proven before, the quality of the motherboard is a huge factor. i went from my maximium stable being ~265mhz at 3-3-3, 1T to 295mhz with a new board... :stick:
Yeah, mine default to 2.5-4-4-8 in the bios. I really hope that the motherboard is at fault. Thanks for the response.Quote:

3.currently those pair all pass at least DDR530 no single error by our RD
; well their PSU is only 300w under DFI ultra-D. I bet user can easily get onto DDR540 by a good testing enivornment especially a good 450w PSU along with a good memory controller.
:)
if these cronus use the same ICs as the Crucial Ballistix then the A8N32 shouldn't have any problem supporting them. Try 2.7v, use 1T, and the following settings and see if they work:

Actually those were the D chips and these are the new F chipsQuote:

Either way I will definitely keep all of you over here on XS informed with my results on the Ultra D.

it's not a given, but let's hope so. good luck :toast:
