these memory modules use PowerChip IC's?
The PC6400 version has other IC's indeed: the F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ uses Micron D9HNL.
Dont forget to post also memset settings just for reference!
1090Mhz with only 1.95V?...very impressive!. I had mine clocked at 1065Mhz with 2.1V...passed a 10 hour prime test. Must try lower voltage.
Not anymore, they now use the same Powerchip IC's.Quote:

What are your results?
I´m thinking of getting 4x2GB of these nice sticks.
I saw some1 runned on a maximus with these sticks, 4x2GB with 4-5-5-12, with 2.1v I dont know it is stable or not, he didnt showed sshots, but just said that in the Maximus thread. But why 8GB? 4GB should be more then enough for now:X, but it so cheap, why not :up:
Got a pair of these for $115 from the 'Egg, what a deal. Currently running 1102MHz, 5-5-3-15 (nice tips in the first post EnJoY!), 2.15V think I'm going to stop there and try priming it over night. Unbelievably awesome RAM for the price though :D.
Heh, no problem, glad it could help a fellow Mass resident. :)Quote:

CPU is an E6420 that's doing 400x8, 3200 Mhz @ 1.375v. It's been the most consistent OC I've ever been to attain and it works quite well.
That being said, I absolutely cannot push higher than that. With my Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2-1000, I was able to hit 3.41 Ghz @ 1.45v on 2.2v (5-5-5-15, 10xx Mhz?) stable 4hours+ on Orthos. Now, I do the same - push voltage to 1.45v, 3.31 Ghz push with corresponding 10xx Mhz RAM timings on this G.Skill. It Memtests fine, but I get random BSODs within the OS.
Is it just that my CPU is finally beginning to suffer wear/tear? It's been on 1.375v and 3.2 Ghz since I purchased it in May and has rarely been off (only ~1 week in mid June). Other important specs include a Corsair HX520, Scythe Ninja on CPU (never breaks 60C, even under Orthos 100%), 8800GTS...
Its probably not the CPU but the memory controller on the MB being taxed beyond its limit. The move to 4GB from 2GB is smoothest usually sticking with 2 sticks as opposed to 4x1GB but even so, its not uncommon for somebody to lose their stable OC that they had with 2GB, as opposed to 4GB.Quote:

I had to lower my FSB when I moved to 4GB from 2GB and I have active cooling on NB.
I got 11 kits to test, this is good memory for the price.
One important thing for everyone to know,
neither Memtest86+ nor Prime95 aren't reliable memory tests, at least for modern chipsets + memory combinations.
Both can pass many hours without problems whereas Linpack fails in several iterations.
For those truly seeking rock solid stability, Linpack test is absolute must. Yes, it will cost some grief for many :).
Watch out for the temps while testing - 64bit version is the most demanding stress tester for Core2 ever known, temps will be substantially higher vs TAT(all cores), much much higher vs Prime95 Small FFTs. Even on water,
so air coolers beware!
I have four machines with 2 kits =8GB in each on P5K Pro boards.
This memory gets noticeably hot when running memory-intensive jobs. What is worrying me is very small clearance between heatsinks of adjusted memory modules. I wonder if it whould be better just remove the heatsinks, they are not particularly good quality and the contact they make with memory chips is not good either. Any thoughts on this?
Just an update. Seems I need 2.25V on this stuff to get it to 1100MHz 5-5-3-15 stable 24/7 in folding. Oh well, still good RAM and its still running very cool (granted I have a low speed 80mm blowing on them).
I can't get a pair 4x2GB stable 1000MHz 2.0V, it fails Linpack. Sometimes it takes several hours, but fails anyway. I hate to go higher 2.0V as it gets extremely hot even at 2V.
Strange at 1.98 it can pass several tens of iterations and at 2.04 fails in several first iterations. I am testing at 1.9V now in the crazy hope of desperate :)
Next one will be 2.1V, if it fails, i may as well start to panic :)
Update:
12hrs of 4x prime95 blend, all memory tested, passed no problem 1.9V
Memtest86+ passed numerous times.
Yet my infiniband network card hangs almost immediately together with Linpack.
So much for this "memory tests" :(
Now for 2.1V, the last resort.
Where can one download Linpack?
I'd put $10 on it that it's a chipset limitation, not memory. Increase vMCH and maybe VTT and see if it fixes stability.Quote:

I'd rather think most ppl with high overclocks do not test thoroughly enough. This is also true for almost all high CPU overclocks.
Hate to think if those memory manufacturers also rely on tests like Memtest86+, this would be a total disaster and explain why there is so much complains.
Memtest86+ and Prime95 blend are not reliable enough and can only be used as coarse approximation.
I recommend always include Linpack. It is also extremely good CPU test.
Should become a standard test, like Prime95 is de-facto standard test for now.
Can be obtained here http://www.intel.com/cd/software/pro...eng/266857.htm
I have ordered a kit of this stuff for my rig and I hope to hit 1120Mhz. I'll definitely follow all the tips in this thread but how likely do you guys think hitting this speed will be? I've not seen any results with this RAM on AM2...
I think every stick would be different. Board also plays a role in overclocking. Pray hard so you can hit 1120mhz.Quote:

Just a heads up for those tightening timings and running 24/7 rigs.
Its down to 114.99 at the egg.

any idea?
Let me assure you, you are not even stable at 550.
I ordered some yesterday.
Does anyone run these at 1:1?
You keep saying this, but you have absolutely know way of knowing this. Maybe it wasn't stable with your sticks, but it doesn't mean his sticks or anyone else's can't do those speeds completely stable. I personally can run 550MHz 5-5-3-15 with somewhat tight sub-timings with absolutely no problems whatsoever, 24/7.Quote:

Try TRFC 55 or 56 for sure. The other sub-timings, with the exception of TRRD, did not effect the max overclock that greatly from the tighter latencies I had them set at.Quote:

what is the max I should expect up to 2.1v? 1066 -1100 with 5-5-5-15 possible?
I don't make the chips so I can't really say if 2.2v is too much for 24/7 daily operation, but personally I would not go past that.Quote:

If you could run extensive Linpack test and confirm stability, you would have done a really great job. If you need any instructions, just ask .
On the DFI X38. The same 1.95 voltage as I posted with the P35 board. Haven't set any secondary timings yet. They are still on auto. The benches were run with the 8x multiplier. 6x is showing because of C1E being enabled.

Can you plz post your voltages and dram settings? (The first which affect drive strenghts etc..)
With the 4:5 divider it is hard for the chipset to maintain stability.
I don't have the settings/voltages any longer. But 4/5 isn't an issue until 420 FSB or so.
Hi!
I have these memories with the computer of my signature but I cant't let down the timmings. Why?
I have the bios config with 475*8 and the memories at 950 Mhz. It's stable with the memtest for windows with 1.9V. But if I try 5-4-3-12 or 5-4-412 with 2.0V or 2.1 V, it isn't stable even a minute with the memtest for windows. Is only stable with 5-5-5-15 timmings,not less...
Why?
Another pair of sets 4x2GB , still can't make them work reliably at 1000MHz 2.0V on ASUS P5K-PRo. Neither 5:4 nor 6:5 dividers are no go.
I wonder is it possible at all on P35.
Me too, i cannot run anything lower 5-5-5 on P5K-Pro.Quote:

I can't even get the G.skill 2x2Gb sticks to see the full 4gb on my abit ab9 quadgt in the bios or on bootup. It will see 3gb, just not 4. The individual sticks will see 2gb in every slot, but not all 4gb in any slot combination. Anyone have this problem?
Man, even 200 passes in memtest86 means nothing, it can only be used as a first crude guideline.Quote:

Set memory remapping feature in BIOS. If you want full 4GB in OS, use 64bit one.Quote:

I' m saying this because i try to use EnJoY's timings but memtest fails. I run 3 instances o memtest for Windows simultaneously (so that 100% of ram is tested). My OS is Vista x64.
Orthos (blend) does not test the ram fully as it can't use 100% of it.
I'm having a hard time stabilizing the sticks at even 1000mhz. Memtest keeps failing.
Thought I would chime in on this, I picked up a set of these and I am running at 1.95v at 500.1 Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 5:4 on a P5K Premium.
I think it would be better if we all posted a screenshot of MemSet along with the speed of the ram :)Quote:

This is where I got it: http://www.intel.com/cd/software/pro...eng/363184.htm
Is this the right file? It seems to only be for xeon cpu's. :shrug:
Synthetickiller
Here is the quick practical instruction on Linpack:
Open the file lininput_xeon(32,64) pertaining to you OS arch., 32 bit or 64 bit.
Determine the maximum problem size your memory can hold. The rule is simple : take the whole amount of memory you see in your OS, subtract 500MB for the OS needs (may need more for memory-hungry Vista), the rest can be assigned to Linpack job. In any case, do not let the test run from disk swap! The amount of memory Linpack uses is equal 8x (problems size)^2. So, for the problem size 10000 the amount of memory would be 800MB. For 4GB memory (needs 64bit OS to see), 3.5GB can be used for Linpack test, this amounts to sqrt(3 500 000 000/8) ~ 21000 problem size.
Set 1 for #number of tests field,
Set only the maximum problem size in the # problem sizes field,
Set the same number in the next field #leading dimensions ,
Set 100-200 for # times to run a test,
Leave the last alignment values as is.
My example file for 8GB RAM under Win X64 (Linux x64 actually, but the file is the same) looks like this:
Sample Intel(R) LINPACK data file (lininput_xeon64)
Intel(R) LINPACK data
1 # number of tests
30000 # problem sizes
30000 # leading dimensions
200 #times to run a test
4 # alignment values (in KBytes)
For 4GB, substitute 30000 with 21000.
To run the test, run runme_xeon(32,64). The best way is to run it from Far manager (google Far manager and download it, its free) or similar program.
The results will be in in .txt file with the name lin_xeon(32,64).txt.
There you will see the summary of input data, string
Size LDA Align. Time(s) GFlops Residual Residual(norm)
And for each test ran, there will be a result string like this:
21000 21000 4 129.620 41.1519 4.455000e-10 3.943651e-02
Error: info returned = 1
The fifth value (41.1519) is gigaflop rating obtained in this run, the seventh (3.943651e-02)
is Residual (norm) value. The last is most important part. It should be small, of the order of 10-02 (0.01),
and should not change from run to run with the same problems size. Any abnormal value here indicates
Linpack fails the test, though it will continue to work. This is very sensitive test, actually.
Ignore the Error:info returned field.
P.S.
If you have 64bit OS, run 64bit Linpack but beware! Monitor your temps, you will see something you have never seen before :)
32bit Linpack taxes CPU considerably less, produces much much lower temps as well as benchmark results (Gigaflops rating).
P.P.S.
I was assuming you have Intel CPU :). 32bit Intel Linpack will probably work on AMD, 64 bit -probably not.
There is a way to run non-Intel Linpack on any CPU, of course , but this will require re-compiling the program from the source code.
Thanks for the explanation I was entirely lost.
I opened linpack in CMD and i select data and input the proper values (I have 4 gigs and vista 64, so its all good) but once everything has been input, the CMD just closes. My temps are fine and not moving nor is my CPU usage above 2%.
I am opening the linpack xeon64 app.
Anything stupid I might be doing or overlooking?
81 reviews and counting!

Well, 42 is waaay too tight for these sticks. I can do 48 on my P35, but no lower with any stability. Try auto and look in memset to see what it sets the value as.
48 is as low as I can go with the DFI X38. Anything lower produces errors in Memtest.
Can i get them anyware else besides newegg, with credit card maybe?
Thanks EnJoY, its set at 52 right now. Any hints? I've never used memset before.

Oddly, I'm not stable with my current set up for longer than 25 minutes. I noticed moving the tRAS from 15 to 20 made a difference of about 10 minutes. So strange. This is at 2.0v btw. I figure thats more than enough for 840mhz.
I know the cpu can 420x9 so its not a cpu limitation. Blue screens at 425 right now.
This is Vista 4GB bug. You have to download patch from Microsoft.Quote:

I don't have Vista and don't know the details. Google for this.
Try a higher TRRD. I find it helps stability with virtually no performance difference.Quote:

Try memory orthos there to test more.
Loosen to 5-5-5-x to see what they can do...and then start to tighten
I'm 4 hours prime stable. This is the best I've had all day. Sadly, the timing are really loose. I'm hoping that I can get the timings down to something like 4-4-4-12 so I can game w/o any real downside. If I get 8 hours, I'll up the FSB. I'm hoping I can get 4.0ghz 24/7 stable (445x9 or 500x8) although I think my voltage will stop me. I'm at 1.55v now, though I know 3.825 will be stable at that voltage.

I have to agree, but also note this Maximus would be the only board to ever get along 100% w/ my X-Fi, have a perfect layout, and of course good lookin' through a Window. :D
We'll see what happens when I plug it up w/ a pair of ATI's finest and a nice Penryn tho. Judging by the sheer number of posts/interest in the board, I think I'll be alright. :D
Interesting, i am not yet 100% sure but it seems tightening tRAS from 15 to 12 noticeably helped with stability in 4x2GB configuration at 1000MHz.
Needs further testing.
Cronos, I might try that. I'm going to do some stability testing tomorrow w/ 450x7 1:1. I can't boot 475x7 sadly or even 500x6, but i think i need more Vcore for that.
This is stable now? :DQuote:

Second, at least P35 works best with 5:6 memory divider. At the same memory speed, there is virtually no improvement 1:1 provides over 5:6 for bandwidth-sensitive apps.
I can run 500FSB 1:1 on my P35, however it's with an Allendale, so not exactly stressing the mch in the way a quad or even conroe would.Quote:

And should I change to MIn FFT size (in K) ? ( default = 8 ) And Max FFT size ( in K) 4096. Any help is appreciated.
Or any suggestion for a sollid test? I had in mind 12 hours blend and 1 hour HCI.
my freind got his today and said after 3 hours or so he simply can not get anything good out of them. he said he couldnt even run then at 1000 with the stock timings.. he eventually got them to 1040 but didnt check them to see how stable they were anything over this even with 5 5 5 12 or looser he could not get more out of them???
Zfactor, it took me a few days to really nail anything stable. I'm sitting on 400x9 right now and I'm going to test out 420x9 tomorrow.
What speed are you trying to run your processor at? What processor is it? Is it 1:1 ?
I'm on my second pair of kits now (that is, second 8GB set) and it also looks stable 1000MHz 5-5-5-12 2.0V. tRAS 12 seems to make a real difference at least with 4 DIMMs.
Why you need 8 gb?Quote:

It will include 4 computing nodes based on Q6600@overclocked, P5K-Pro (for max. energy saving), 8GB RAM each (32GB total). All will be watercooled and placed into custom-made compact chassis. Plus infiniband switch of course, if this is saying anything to you :)Quote:
