Havn't tried tweaking it in a while, as my computer is up in my apartment with my roommate and I'm in my girlfriend's apartment downstairs. :) I've done this with many Memtest runs and so far have not tried pumping more volts into it. We'll see what I can do when I get my computer back in a week or so.
bump :)
DS3 E6300 450x7 4-4-4-12 2x512m pc800 cls 5 +0.2v
Can do more have run 500 1:1 with lower timings but have to play with timings to see if it pays off. Not bad 110E kit :)
So what is the consensus on the best 2 GB kits for the DS3? I still have my celeron running in mine with OCZ 1 GB platinums (4-5-4-15).
I want to step up to either the e6300 or e6400.
It looks like the corsair XMS Pc2-6400s are doing pretty well, but lately I'm seeing these Team Xtreme 533 MHz sticks too ($208).
OCZ plat ram 2gig (2x1gb) 5-5-5-15 , 2.1v running 3 days no problems. Passed 18 hour prime & memtest. found out my problem isn't ram but the cpu voltage.
bump
Btw...G.SKILL have kindly (or are) sending me a replacement HZ kit as my ZX kit kinda sucked. So i'll be testing these babies by the end of the week.
Feels good to get a replecement that is better then what i sent.
:-)
good luck with those Richard. you wont get over 950mhz with them
the DS3/DQ6 wont run the HZ's over 950mhz. this model of Micron D9 kit doesnt agree with the DS3/DQ6
I presume you guys are all testing your memory by dropping your FSB and using a 2.5/3x multiplier? It's definitely the chipset holding it back at <500MHz (DQ6) for me.
GSKILL
F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ
Boots at default voltages. even at DDR800
Will not go past 950mhz DRam as this micron D9 has issues with the gigabyte boards.
F2-6400PHU2-2GBZX (which i see is no longer available)
will not boot unless you swap memory and raise the voltage to 2.2v
unable to go past 950mhz because of gigabyte bug.
Proc: E6400
MB: DQ6 w/ F3
TYPE: 2 x 1G Mushkin XP2-8000 Redline
MAX: 502 3-4-3-10 dual 32M 2.2v (will test more vdimm when I get time)
BOOT?: booted first power up of the board w/ both sticks
COMMENT: Dont see any issues w/ this mem and DQ6.
you post this 950mhz limit in just about every thread on this forum. Have you tried the RAM in another board and proven it goes higher?Quote:

I think this setup has killed one of my 250G in raid 0 :(
Thats gonna suck bigtime if they did die..
I have GOOD news...G.SKILL sent my 0627 HZ kit today. I'm using a DQ6 with F4d beta bios. IT POSTS!!!!!!!!!!
WOO HOO!...you don't know how great it is that this memory POSTs with default 1.8V, with my ZX kit i had to swap the modules out with some cheesy Nanya module so as i could manually set the voltage to 2.2V...otherwise the ZX kit would not POST.
This HZ kit will and does POST with default 1.8V, i am testing the memory now...even if it won't go past 950MHz or even if i can't get my FSB to 400MHz...at least one big problem has been solved.
BTW...the memory runs 4-4-4-12 by SPD, it's set to Auto and run SPD in bios:

You have missed a very important factor : the FSB!!.
on my DS3 the FSB seems to have quite a import on how high the Ram can clock., e.g.: when my e6300 is running at 400*7, I can use 2.5 divider, which means the 2*1G gskill hz is running at 1000 5-5-5-15 2.1v.
but if I use 2 divider for the ram, the even if the CPU runs at 6*480, the system is not stable (here the ram only runs at 960).

will post some screenshots tonight
some ppl from coolaler forum have reported that if using the 2*512m hz kit, they can run higher...

I'm Orthos Prime stable now for 6 hours and 4 mins.

OK!...like i know if crap compared to the guys doing 3.4Ghz or more, but i have TRIED to get this board to POST at 400MHz FSB...just will not work.
