well i know mem is stable unfortunately cpu isn't stable at 11x cpu multiplier

but

2nd fastest pifast and superpi 1M time with 11x 264mhz 2-2-2-6 with 2x 512MB OCZ PC3500 Platinum Limited Edition BH-5 on DFI NF4 SLI-D 310 bios

highest with 2x 256MB KHX3200K2/512 BH-5 on MSI K8N Neo2 1.36mod bios

Eva2000 how much did those settings helped?

Skew = Increase
Skew Value = 255

Nice RAM there ...

They helped me pass test #8 in memtest but that was before i figured out increasing LDT voltage and chipset voltage did the same thing = help pass test #8

cant wait for my bh5 that does 250 with 3.1v :D

excellent job eva!! Nice complete testing too...no doubt in my mind those sticks are the real deal on the DFI.
I was playing around with my mushkin 512's yesterday and this is what I got with the 210 bios and 10x with a winnie that only goes to 2.7 on air.

With 9 multi, the same sticks went to 279 pifast 1m stable
This board loves 512 sticks of bh5.
I want to test that 310 bios now today with some of your settings to see if I can get these farther.
Thanx again for your work :toast:

no probs... nice clocks max for mushkin with 32M superpi ? vdimm used ?

looking good this DFI NF4 board it's first time i used doubled sided BH-5 on it heh i wonder how well my 2x512MB Mushkin PC3500 Black LVL2 BH-5 and Corsair XNS3500C2v1.1 BH-5 and Corsair XMS3200C2v1.1 BH-6 handle on this board.. guess I'll find out soon :)

That was with 3.6vdimm, 1.5vchipset, 1.2v ldt.
I have been inspired by your post to give these sticks and the dfi hell all day :) I never really bother with larger calculations in pi because im mostly a 3d guy and more times than not when a component is 1m pi or pifast stable for me, it will 3d at same speeds.
But....after seeing your post I want to try today for some larger calculations just to see where they end up. In fact, I think im going to throw just about everything I can at them today, I have nothing to do all day :)
Did you notice a big improvement with the 310 bios compared to the others?

I bet you will have great results on all your bh5 with the dfi.

well first time used double sided BH-5 and it was with 310 bios never used prior bios for the ram so can't say.. only reason i updated to 310 is reported divider fixes and 218 bios i couldn't use DDR266 divider pc won't boot when i had 3200+ winnies heh

yeah throw everything you have at them - i think latest competition is to see who has fastest 32M superpi time :)

how do you cool these sticks at 3.6 v ?

darknico care to share all bios settings/voltages and timings/a64tweaker as well :)

My PC3500 LE are BrainPower 808 too :D.

eva2000, you don't have to remove the heatspreader to see the PCB Version :)

Well, I suppose all are BP 808, due to that OCZ BH-5 LE perform better than others BH-5 sticks.

aka helped the IMC ...

noticed it too with my 2x512 UTT, impoved the stability at 270Mhz++ in windows, raising the Vldt (to 1.5V)

keep up

hey ya right just checked side of the PCB and it says B6U808 :)

I'm very happy that BH-5 is still alive. I'll be buying a DFI soon and was planning on getting some TCCD with it, BUT, after this thread I'll hold off and test my LvII Munchies first.:)
They haven't let me down yet and have been one of the better investments I have done to my PC.
I can get them to 250 @ 3.43 on an 875P sys. Can't wait to test them on an A64 sys. I'll put some benches up if they will help, but it'll be a little while though :(

I’ll be trying your bios settings EVA, thanks! :toast:

Same thing happen when i was using my BH 5/6 sticks on the POS K8N Neo2.
No matter which bios i tried my BH ram would max out around 230HT
Now on the DFI nF4 U-D and the sli-dr my BH ram is King again high 260HT
with 3.39V through them.

DFI nf4 with BH/VX ram is just superb :toast:

eva2000

No probs REDKEN, yeah Neo2 doesn't like double sided BH-5 much but runs single sided BH-5 fine

:slobber: funny how after how many years of bh-5 being out it still kicks ass, that's rare in the pc world (unless you are talking about crt's)...

great job! :D and i wonder how you'd do with pelted ram, dont bh-5 sticks get really hot @ really high volts?

Heat isn't really an issue for most RAM, someone tried phase-changing their RAM and didn't even gain 3Mhz, its useless, a nice size fan works just as well.

Ive got a 2x 512mb Kingston HyperX PC3200 BH-5 and also the DFI nf4,

they do 260mhz 2-2-2-6 @ 3.5v

I have though not raised the LT voltage, maybe I'll try that ;)
03-23-2005, 09:06 PM
eva2000

nice Arnar using what advance mem timings for ram ? Good to hear as i got some 512MB KHX3200/512 BH-5 here too :)

got on 3,5V on the DFI 270 2-2-2- still testing ;)

eva2000, I had everything else just at auto.

I tried the excact same timings as you posted and I had to back down to 250mhz to get it memtest stable, I ran it all night at that settings, so its stable there

Didnt seem that more vdimm than 3.5v helped

I see yeah AUTO would be pretty loose timings for those advance bios mem timings :)
