also, that picture that you're linking to doesn't seem to work for me. though if you have Kev's settings copied (which may not be optimal for you), you should be off to a good start.
and one last thing.. it works well when you set the CPC to disabled (2T command rate), yes?
Excuse me, AD0.. lolQuote:

And finally, CPC has to be 2T otherwise I fail every test known to man. :D
Again, I thank you for your responses to my sometimes frustrating post's.
Dom
hmmm, well i guess for the time being, try to max out the ram using 2T command rate...
though orange has typically been the better of the 4 slots in my experience, it's worth giving yellow a shot too.
a few other things to poke about with:
trc.. does 8 help anything?
tras.. try all the settings. though it usually has a pretty small effect on clocks, it's worth a shot
Idle cycle limit and dynamic idle counter... just mess with these. initially, with my old board, 000 and enabled was best for clocks.. and performance. now with my new board, 256 and disabled is best for clocked, but it hurts performance :(
what do you have tref set to?
BTW, Dom, what drive strengths have you tried? I know my Ballistix would fail at stock without the proper values ;) This could be your problem. Also, trying the 704-2BTA BIOS could be beneficial
I have given up on this until the Apollo PC4800 modules come in. I already tried changing slots to yellow last night. On a positive note: The new DFI Ultra-D is rock solid STABLE!! I wasnt able to pass Superpi 8m with the Asus A8N32-SLI. The Ultra-D has my X2 4800+ (2.4ghz stock) clocked at 2.8Ghz 1.48 vcore. I am extremely happy with my processor/mobo combo right now. All I need is a set of sticks that can run 1:1 with me @ 10 X 280. Thats where the TCCD set comes in. I am pumped!Quote:

change your twtr to 2 and trtw to 3. My old ballistix wouldn't do 1 twtr at all, it would fail pi in seconds, but as soon as I changed that it was great
curiously, my 5b F does better with twtr at 1.. ;)Quote:

mine are still a state away :(
Prob another day or 2 atleast until I get mine, either way it doesnt matter because im about to throw this whole dam rig str8 out the window
Strange :stick: Oh well, something to try at least :toast:Quote:

To keep this as short as possible here's a quick "My Experience" with Team Xtreme Cronus -M...
1. Ordered beginning of January direct from Taiwan
2. Finally get them in February (all my fault really for taking so long to get the money wired)
3. One stick dead (not "I don't know what the heck I'm doing dead" but "I won't boot regardless of dimm slot, bios, voltage, timings, and a call directly from OPB dead")
Note*The one stick that worked was from the late 05 year batches* :(
4. RMA and a great experience with customer service = I get a set that'll boot into windows.
Now it's been well over a month of tinkering with settings and I have to say these are picky as hell. Up until today, anything over 260 gave me 4 to 5 errors in memtest86 test #8 per pass and I could basically forget about Prime/Windows stability. I was running 2.5-3-3-6 @246MHz and was fairly satisfied with the numbers I was getting, but I don't browse these forums to underclock.:D
Now, I remember Ozzi posting about his Tras setting and decided to actually lower it and maybe it was just luck (probably). Here are my results thus far.

try loosening max async latency to 8.0ns :toast:
(nice cpu btw, i'm jealous :p:)
To my surprise when I came home from work tonight the Cronus package is waiting for me :D :D I'm still playing with it atm, so far I didn't get any error in memtest up to about 275 @3-3-3-7, having a bit hiccup at 280 and still got lots of other tweaking need to be done, but to get rid of atleast this one I'll have to ask what do you guys use for the dram response time? I left it at NORMAL, do you use FAST or SLOW?
i left mine on normal and with mal/rp at auto.. boots at 8.0ns/5.5ns, which seems to be perfect :D
how much voltage for 275mhz? :toast:
as a side note, i think i've figured out a way to get my much sought after 300mhz.. we'll see how it all pans out though :p:
I see....I'll leave it on Normal and focus heavily on few other settings, I haven't try lower vdimm but so far it's at 2.7v, I'm using the Venus :D :D
sweet, the venus should be fun ;)
also, i guess stick with 2.7v.. though i'd see what the <2.5v range does just for kicks. when you have time that is :toast:
2.7v is a good starting point, I'll go up slowly if necessary but once I find the max memclock then I'll hunt for the lowest vdimm to maintain it. Venus is quite a different beast to tweak, I'm using the opty 148 on phase change for now they seems to prefer 5 drive strenght instead of 3. found the data strength of 4. Iron out memtest error at 280 @3-3-3-10. For whatever reason mine love vdimm, how hot do yours get when you had the vdimm up there in the 2.8~2.9 range? when I touch the heatspreaders they are not even warm, definitely nothing like the Ballistix I have had which would of burn my fingers by now, either these -5f runs extremely cool, or the heatspreaders are not efficient enough to dissipate any heat, I'll definitely try to stay around or below 2.80v. so far they'd exceeded my initial expectation, more test underway and will have to see what else is left in them.
1-4 DS on the Venus is mainly for 2x512mb kits. IIRC, 4-8 are settings for 2x1gb and 9+ is for 4x512 and 4x1gb. Try a DDS of 2 or 3 - it should be one of those settings for your cpu/setup ;)Quote:

A DDS of 4 definately should give less errors, but the tradeoff is that it may limit just how high your CPU will clock (at least that's the case in 2x512 kits). Voltage-wise I have no idea since I've not had any 2gb sets to kill yet :p:Quote:

Tref doesn't really effect stability as much as the DD/DDS, tried a bunch of them and stop at 4708. Tras 10 instead of 6~8 also help with stability, Trfc, trc and other craps have very little effect so no time being wasted there :lol: Mal and RP are either 8/6 or 9/7, they don't like anything higher or lower. FAST or SLOW dram response time threw off error rather quick so NORMAL is where it's going to stay permanently. Memtest is error free at 280 @3-3-3 at the moment so it's time to load up the winblows and play with Spi32M and other benchies :D :D
Just a FYI - DRAM Response time is like a "trick question" setting in bios. It basically dictates what MAL and RP will default to upon boot. Of course, for it to work, both MAL and RP have to be set as "auto" in bios. My best advice when it comes to the MAL/RP/Dram Repsonse Time settings in bios is to use the "Normal" setting for Response and leave BOTH MAL and RP @ auto. If you feel the need to change the MAL/RP do it ONLY with A64 tweaker and DO NOT set it through bios. You'll have issues if you do ;)
